SQLAlchemy and Django
Sweet.
If one more person asks me about Ruby or Rails, I’ll throw a fit. Django development is moving at a blistering pace right now. There’s this SQLAlchemy branch, there’s an application test framework being integrated, all kinds of wonderful things happening over here in Python-land.
Oh – and I’ll take this moment now to comment on how much I hate Linux on the desktop.
The irony is too thick. Ubuntu’s X11 seized up on me while writing this post and I lost all my witty remarks.
So – in bullet form:
- Greg’s Macbook is causing him grief. That sucks, but from my own experience – it’s probably bad RAM. So that means a 30 minute hike to his local computer store, buy some proper memory and fiddle with screwdrivers that are too small for about 10 minutes. No big deal.
- Linux on the desktop compared to OSX though…..well Linux sucks like a Dyson cyclone vaccum cleaner. Except that I actually think the Dyson vacuum cleaner is kind of cool in a nerdy kind of way.
- Skype locks your linux kernel if you have an SMP kernel. Which is probably most people going forward considering Intel is pushing Core Duo and Core 2 Duo and AMD is pushing X2 on the 939 sockets and AM2 will have dual/quad core there.
- The –disable-dbus argument I posted about earlier does nothing to help this.
- Linux on the desktop nerds – please stop pestering the rest of us with the news that SLED 10.1 is awesome or that Ubuntu is better than OSX/Windows. You are wrong. Please shut the hell up.
I really really hate Linux on the desktop.
What is this? 1994? Am I really supposed to read comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips still?
