Getting The Ball Rolling

You can't always code what you want.

I think most developers would like to be able to code whatever they pleased while at work, but that is not how it usually pans out. This blog will act as a sort of playground for me to implement new web development or software engineering ideas (original or not), and release them into the wild.

My intention is not to create the next blog framework - I am not suffering from a case of N.I.H.. Given my goals, modifying a pre-existing feature rich application would be a poor use of time and energy. A bare bones application will be more agile and better suit my needs. As I implement new features I will do my best to document them. After all, developing for a public forum is always more exciting.

At the time of this entry this blog is a simple Django app with a single model and two views. I have not yet activated caching or implemented comments. For hosting I am using a 256MB VPS from SliceHost, Nginx as my static media server, Apache and mod_wsgi to render dynamic content, and SQLite as my database server.
