Nathan talks about how he quickly and easily created an alternate mobile version of his Django-powered site. The ability to create an alternative version so easily (for mobile or any other reason) is a huge strength of Django that isn’t talked about enough.
While you’re there, check out Nathan’s primary navigation, which is almost certainly the most fun you can have on a web page that doesn’t end in .swf. Awesome. Visit site »
WHOOPS! I was wrong — totally using the wrong version of Firefox. My Bad. Firefox 3 rules. :)
Sounds like a terrific gig for someone who likes screen-scraping. Err, wait…is there such thing as someone who likes screen-scraping? :) Visit site »
Happy that most of the response to the redesigned JeffCroft.com has been positive…
Andy and I share an interest in sharks (although he’s certainly got more experience with them than I do!). Today, he writes a nice post about a huge threat facing our favorite fishes: finning. This is the practice of catching sharks, slicing off their fins, and throwing them back into the water to die. The reason? Shark Fin Soup. It’s a delicacy, and companies are willing to pay top dollar for shark fins. Problem is, sharks are being slaughtered in record numbers, to the point where areas once brimming with the amazing predators are now almost completely devoid of them. It’s bad news for the whole marine ecosystem to lose apex predators. What can you do? Help the anti-finning movement by avoiding any restaurant that sells Shark Fin Soup. Visit site »
