1. I am now working for CAE, more precisely CAE PS out of Toronto, and I am loving every moment of it. They have a very open culture and encourage the use of open source tools when appropriate. I have been able to use Ubuntu to host some of the websites I have developed in Django. This has kept me very happy. I can honestly say that I think that my Ubuntu, and Open Source knowledge set me apart.
2. I have been getting more and more into photography with my new Canon EOS Rebel T1i, you can follow me on flickr.
3. I have been ramping up my fitness (and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills) at Toronto BJJ.

This brings me to my goals for the future, I am falling in love with Django and as a result I want to play with it more and more, now my current hosting provider 1and1 has served me very well up to now. But now that I want to start playing with Django more I need to get a hosting provider that can support Django (because I want to show off my work of course). I would hope that any new hosting provider I use could support both Django, and ruby on rails (as I may want to play with it in the future). So dear lazy web what do you recommend? And I know I could use Google app engein but I like the idea of pure Django, not some hack, I have also looked at djangohosting.org but would love some recommendations from actual users of hosting plans.

Any advise lazyweb?

a document with blank spaces to be filled in with particulars before it is executed: a tax form.  — source

and a forum as:

an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest. — source

Ok well I cherry picked the definitions that best suited my purposes, but anyway, I have been using both of these words is a lot of code lately and I admit the words have lost all meaning to me. In speech this is called semantic satiation, where intense repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener. So what is this called when you code? Dose it happen to anyone else? I know that for me the words “form” and “forum” have lost all meaning and look completely spelt wrong now. I think its even worse that the words are so similar prompting me to write this post, however this happens to me even with one word if I use it to much in code.

Thoughts?

The other big option I have seen to trac is dr project (they actualy forked from trac). and while I do like a lot of the things that trac is doing (mailing list intergration for one). Trac has a large comunity and may plugins a few of the plugins I would really like to see in the future for trac are a karma like system similar to the one on launchpad as well as better user tracking as well as a way to see who has read what similar to vbullitins who has read a thread.

Trac really is a great solution and I use for a ton of projects I work on.

Keep up the great work guys!

Edit Typos

Anyone know how I can get around this?

Here are a few examples that I created with wikimap.py


And a really large one being viewed in inkscape.

More examples including the dot files can be found at http://www.files.earobinson.org/wiki/. But there are a few features I would like to add:

1. Generating the graph using python-pygraphviz currently takes a really long time and I would like to be able to do it faster
2. Page links currently include templates, I would like to only use links in the body of the text
3. It would be nice if the software cached previously seen connections. (But then I need to detect updates to that page)

If anyone has a nice simple soultion to any of those problems leave a comment. Also if you are able to generate any neat images I would love to see them.

My problem is that the documentation sucks. In fact even the example on the site did not work when I tried to download it (Update: Thanks for fixing this Bill). I was able to download the file but it seemed to be an empty tar.gz file.

So with a bit more googling I was able to create my own example. I know the KDE guys switched to cmake but thats about it. Anyone have any experience with cmake? How did it work out for you? Any better recommendations? Better sites for documentation?

Feel free to download the source code and come up with your own internet map, I would love to see what other people can come up with.

UPDATE 01: Image is back up, If the source code link wont work for you email me and I will send you a copy. Feel free to host this anywhere you like just post a link back to this site.

UPDATE 02: Source code can now also be found here.

UPDATE 03: Would love to see what other people can do with this.

It has been about a week since I released Propensity into the wild for your feedback, I have gotten a fair bit of feedback and received a lot of help. You will also notice that I jumped from version 0.1.0.1772 to 0.1.2.1906 well version 0.1.1.xxxx was released as a limited demo but I have pushed forward to release version 0.1.2.190.

• The ability to add your own programs to propensity (you can import them or manually add them)
• A Propensity Icon
• Cleaned up and much prettier terminal

It turns out that this was the most correct with the exception that befor you make your post you must go to Users then Your Profile and make sure “Use the visual rich editor when writing”

[sourcecode language="python"]#This
