the devil with the green eyes

10 February, 2006

Yeah.

So I have been playing with Django at work, and toying with the idea of using it to create a new webpage for the Steinbecks (the current one works, but the HTML is scary). It’ll take a fair bit of work to convince the guys that lots of data is a good thing, but I’ll give it a go. Then I’ll need to find a webhost who is darn cheap, and provides a database and lets me use python.

Anywho, in the course of researching the wonderful Django framework, I came across the 7 minute screencast by Tom Dyson.

And here’s where the green eyes surface. Tom has done a lovely job, and he obviously knows what he’s talking about. So by chance, I have discovered a guy who:

  • is smarter than me
  • has a sexier accent than me
  • has a prettier computer than me

and, to top it all off, he’s also part of the Sound of Northwood, who make prettier music than me.

iWeep.

Yes readers, it’s time to acknowledge  our newest category here; stacking theory.

It really is a rule for living.

If you’d like to know more about stacking theory, feel free to contact me. I might even be able to pop over and give you a live demonstration.
