PyCon2006 talks

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

Not exactly breaking news, but the list of PyCon2006 talks is available. Looks like there will be two talks about Django, and a third talk about documentation using Django as an example.

Adrian Holovaty will be giving a talk called Using Django to Supercharge Web Development. According to the description, it will be a basic overview of Django’s architecture, design philosophies, “out of the box” functionality and some basic code samples.

Jacob Kaplan-Moss will be giving a Django Tutorial. The talk will include a full walk-through of building a web application using the Django framework.

Being a complete Python newb, it’s likely that some (most?) of the PyCon presentations would be over my head. Still, I’d love to be able to go.

Hello World!

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

#!/usr/bin/env python print "Hello World!"

WordPress is installed and working and my first customized theme is usable. Looks like I have a weblog (again).

The current theme is based on the WordPress default theme (Kubrick) with some minor edits by me. I would have liked to have used the new K2 theme, but there were just too many display issues when viewing the page in Internet Explorer. Even with this theme, there are minor positioning problems when viewed in IE.

Either way, the new weblog is up and running and that is a Good Thing.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the site.
