On tardiness…
Holas,
I can’t seem to post reliably these past few weeks/months. So I thought I would do a quick multipurpose post.
1. Be on the lookout for a couple social communities i’m hoping to have a hand in launching. I’ll post the links here.
2. Anyone interested in a local Django group? I’m kind of fed up with ruby/rails for the moment and jython/python/django looks sweet! Are there any python groups here locally?
3. A friend sent me this link last night, have a laugh on me, or her as it were…


Not sure a local Django group would be viable, but you’re welcome to join the Boise Web Technologies Meetup (http://php.meetup.com/206/). There’s a bit of a PHP bias, but we’re also interested in Python, Rails, Cold Fusion, and anything else in use today.
I would love to help establish a local Django group. I went through the tutorials and set up a sample app this week and…I kind of like it a lot. Doesn’t the python group meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month? I don’t feel like a ruby trader through! I think there are applications for both. Django feels lighter and even GoDaddy supports mod_python, which I run into a lot when a client has already paid for shared hosting somewhere. Plus Rails is kind of obsessed with Rails. I feel like it wants you to forget everything else you know, like javascript, or even real ruby.
