Efendi Update
On the server and coding front, I am at a classical Brandon stall point on Efendi, which means I really need to push at some point to get over the “admin junk” hump of designing article listings and add/remove pages. Very annoying stuff for me. Django apparently automates this section of a project, but I can’t imagine being happy with the default output (same with Rails).
I am managing my codebase with git for my own self-improvement, and there is now anonymous access available to any repositories I create personally. “Push” access (committing data to the repository) is only available via SSH. Git works especially well for web app development because I can run the app locally on my laptop (much faster), make commits and merges and stuff, and then publish the ultimate set of changes in one lump at the end of a session. Very nice.
