DjangoSites Gets New Shoes
blog post posted 7:22 p.m., Wednesday 30 April, 2008. After almost twelve months online and well over a thousand sites submitted, DjangoSites has had a facelift and moved to a new hosting home.
NK2View - View/Delete/Edit Outlook .NK2 AutoComplete Information
link posted 8:09 a.m., Wednesday 30 April, 2008. A very nifty tool to edit Outlook's e-mail address AutoComplete entries. I cannot believe this isn't a feature within outlook itself - until today I've had 7 different e-mail addresses listed for my wife with no way to force Outlook to use only the current one.

link posted 7:37 p.m., Friday 18 April, 2008. This is a great idea that should see Django developers from all over the world compete to produce a fantastic Django application in only 48 hours.
This puts real emphasis on Django's origins as a framework for perfectionists with deadlines. The aim is for small teams to build applications, from scratch, in a tight timeframe.
No word on whether there is a particular focus yet, and no details on sponsors and judges just yet, but this looks like it'll be great fun for those who are into this sort of thing (and, of course, those able to compete at the exact point in time when the competition is open!)

blog post posted 5:44 p.m., Thursday 17 April, 2008. One of the coolest things to happen to the Internet in the past few years is OpenID, the decentralised system that allows you to use a single 'login' mechanism across multiple websites. OpenID support in Django is coming of age, and I've just implemented it at DjangoSites.
Weblog Updates
blog post posted 5:25 p.m., Thursday 10 April, 2008. Apologies for the recent RSS spam, where all of my posts were re-published. The reason was a new blog system I'm using, syndicating my actions around the web into a single 'tumblog' style feed.
