Django, Pygments, Templates, Code Sharing, and Design

Posted on August 9, 2009 by bkjones

Welcome to the latest update! I spent a total of about an hour on the “Social Code Sharing” application in the 2nd edition of “Practical Django Projects”, and I’m not completely finished with it, but I’ve got syntax highlighting and the basics covered. I can add, edit, and delete snippets, list snippets, and show a…

Django RSS Feed Finally Working

Posted on August 6, 2009 by bkjones

Ok, so now LinuxLaboratory has the following features working: comments (along with comment moderation and akismet support), a WYSIWYG editor for my posts markdown support for comments email notification of errors and new comments a full-blown administration interface that lets me deal with any apps, users, or content on my site, some cheesy CSS (hey,…

LinuxLaboratory => Django – Now with Comments, Akismet, and 404.html

Posted on August 6, 2009 by bkjones

I stayed up a little late last night, because I wanted to get comments working on Linuxlaboratory.org. Comments *are* working, and I *do* get email notification of new comments, which is nice. Akismet is installed, and is no longer throwing errors, but to be honest, I’m not quite sure how to test it. I tried…

“Practial Django Projects”, Custom Template Tags, and Updates on LinuxLaboratory

Posted on August 5, 2009August 5, 2009 by bkjones

Hi all, If you’ve not been following along, I’ve picked up the 2nd edition of Practical Django Projects, and am using it to help me reinvent LinuxLaboratory.org (LLO). Though LLO is really a documentation site where I republish articles I’ve written for Linux.com, O’Reilly, and others over the past 10 years, I started out by…

LinuxLaboratory.org Django Update

Posted on July 31, 2009 by bkjones

Hi all, So, I’ve begun down the road of reinventing LinuxLaboratory.org using Django. For the moment, I’m mostly starting out using the blog application from the newly released second edition of “Practical Django Projects”, and there’s no CSS or fancy design going on yet, but I have a nice admin interface for creating posts, managing…

LinuxLaboratory woes, Drupal -> Django?

Posted on July 21, 2009 by bkjones

Ugh… So, today I tried browsing to one of my sites, linuxlaboratory.org, and found a 403 “Forbidden” error. Calling support, they said it was a “billing issue”. Well, I pay my bills, and I haven’t received any new credit cards, so I’m not sure what that’s about. Further, they haven’t contacted me in any way…

I’m Offering Pro-Bono Consulting

Posted on July 20, 2009 by bkjones

I started my company about a year ago, but I’ve been doing consulting for a long time. In fact, my first job in the IT industry was working for a consulting firm. Before that, starting as far back as grade school, I was involved in a lot of volunteer civic and community service activities. I…

Training Patterns

Posted on July 13, 2009 by bkjones

So, I’ve been talking to some friends about training. I work with several firms in various aspects of training. Usually I’m actually delivering training, but in some cases I’m just helping to produce the training content, and occasionally I actually help build a full-fledged internal training regimen. I love doing this work, because it lets…

A Missing Battery in Python: a bash “select” equivalent

Posted on June 3, 2009June 11, 2009 by bkjones

So, someone showed me a script they were writing in bash. They were doing a lot of manual menu creation, then using “read” to collect input, and manually mapping the input to longer strings, and then doing string manipulation stuff. Trying to help simplify and make things a little more sane and readable, I discovered…

Activity Lapse: I blame Twitter

Posted on March 30, 2009 by bkjones

To all my geek/nerd friends in the blogosphere: I’ll be posting updates on Fedora Directory Server, my Linux training courses, and more in the coming weeks, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve recently been stricken with… umm… Twitter. I’m @bkjones on twitter, so if you’re into beer, brewing, billiards, cooking, guitar/music, linux,…
