I've been learning Django for a couple of days now, and I'm starting to get quite comfortable with it. One of the reasons I wanted to move to Django was easier …
A few screenshots
Over the past couple of days I have been looking at eventually switching this server over from a PHP-based one to a Python based one - however, looking around there doesn't seem to be a Django-based Wordpress alternative, so yesterday I started my own.
New Theme
Today I've installed a new theme - the ultra slick Super Mario World theme for Wordpress.
Options for new server config for Django?
If you are visiting this site, you might have noticed recently that the site seems to take a while to load - I've ran tests, but the load on the server is always below 0.5, and I have plenty of memory (512mb guarenteed RAM on this VPS) so it's made me wonder if the …

Cleaning a Firefox Profile
A Simple tutorial on cleaning out your Firefox user profile, to keep things running nice and clean. Written by Robert Accettura, cheers dude!Running With XUL (xulrunner)
After recently playing around with extensions for firefox - for example, skinning them - I decided to have a look further into XUL and mozilla based languages. Thats when I found Xulrunner, the bootstrap for xul/xpcom applications.
Now, i had a development environment, …
More Running anyone?
In my last post, I talked about working with XULRunner, and just a few of the things you can do with it. I thought now would probably be a good time to write up a small tutorial, based on my own knowledge and that gathered from various sources.
AIR vs XULRunner
After playing with XULRunner for quite a while, i decided to get AIR and see what is was. There's been a fair share of hype over both the Runtime Environments, xulrunner had it's share with the boom of Firefox, and AIR getting attention from various companies, such as …
