Zope3/Plone to Django
I was going to write a brief summary/closer on our summer but ended up writing this lengthy article about our startup’s decision to switch to Django from Zope3/Plone as it is the major reason we’ve missed our previously projected release dates. Its difficult for me to post this as it may appear to cast some [...]

The Dangers of a Startup
All the women I meet lately ask me what it is that I do. When I tell them I’m doing a startup they look at me with their big doll eyes like a scared Lana Wood with the mysterious Sean Connery and say, “Isn’t that dangerous?” I usually respond with a simple “Sometimes (dramatic pause) [...]

200 Page Views!
Today at 8:12 ThingsILearned.com hit a milestone, 200 page views! Okay, that’s not too exciting, especially since we’re still just a blog. But I thought it’d be good to get in some practice for when we’ve got the site launched and get to 2 million or 200,000 users or something like that. No budget for [...]
