Django & The Million Things I Do

Posted in News, Thoughts Etc. at 12:27 am by Chris

While I seem to have seriously neglected this site for quite some time now, I am giving thought to it’s rebirth. I am unsure exactly what turn I will take with it, but it is in for a serious redesign at some point. (I just, as always, have to find the time to do it.)

In the mean time, I’m working on Django! :) Well, that is to say that I’m learning it; and in the process I am developing a minute amount of experience in Python. (Which is nice, since I’ve been saying that I was going to learn that particular language for several years now.)

What projects do I have in store for the new framework / programming language? Well, I really have no idea. I doubt that I will replace the existing CMS on my site (WordPress), since that’s just so darn handy and easily maintainable, and has required little to no attention from me whatsoever for the past while. (Perhaps that’s the problem?)

At any rate, I continue my work over at URU Exploration, developing the MO:URU Live fan-site, which will be launched to a new address at http://www.uruexploration.net in the next few weeks. (I’m rather looking forward to it.) As it is, between that and other projects that I’m working on, I don’t exactly have a lot of spare time to work on all the things I want to. (Broken record, I know.) :)

I am working on one project in Django, however, that once I get it put together and working much the way I’d like it to, I may even post for download: A Project Log application for tracking one’s hours spent on a project.

I realize this isn’t exactly the most unique app in he world, however, it’ll be decent enough that I expect I will be able to integrate it into a billing system that I also am now thinking of constructing.

Well, I’ve likely ranted long enough here for one sit. I’ll be off to the land of nod for this evening, though I may be back here in the near future. We’ll have to see.
