If anyone cares what I'm up to ...

I've been using Python off and on for the past few months and really haven't had much time for blogging and such.  I'm about midway through a project that's basically a link scanner that handles large volumes of links asynch using beanstalkd and the beanstalkc python library.  Beanstalk is a great fit for basic asynch queueing needs.

Today I also started working in django again (just modifying an existing site for someone).  It's nice to come back to django after a few months tearing my hair out in RoR land but still can't touch microframeworks for most of what I do.

I'll Be Adopting Django for My Web Development Projects

From all of the web development frameworks that I have evaluated so far I have liked the Catalyst framework (Perl) the best for my needs; however, it's been murderously difficult to get it working properly on my aging Powerbook G4 running OS X Tiger 10.4.11, and so I've decided that awesome Catalyst-only features that make my day notwithstanding that I should switch to django which was a cinch to get installed and configured.

I'm working today on building a better directory script (along the lines of DMOZ) that I can use for a few directory sites that I want to launch.  I plan to open-source the directory software once complete via Google Code and monetize it by selling templates for it.

We'll see how it goes!
