Django on Twisted Web - Using the latest twisted.web.wsgi functionality. April 23, 2009. When creating app that require reverse proxies because of Javascriptâ s same-domain policy, also come to mind. It is worthwhile to mention that when I say â join Twisted and Djangoâ , I mean run them under the same domain to adhere to Javascriptâ s same-domain policy, but I digress. That because of work done at Pycon 2009, Django now runs correctly off code in the Twisted trunk. A complete Django Twisted WSGI example.

Really using Redis to build fast real-time web apps | . Alex . Clemesha .

Really using Redis to build fast real-time web apps. July 01, 2011. Sure, you can use Redis. But thatâ s not. Redis can be a key/value store, and it does that well. But Redis also elegantly presents the basic building blocks of any programming language as a database. Weâ re talking. Alongside other utilities such as. For one of my apps, The Wiki Game. Iâ ve used a very large percentage of what Redis provides, and doing so was awesome in terms of effort put in versus resulting improvement. The game has th...

Seven Random Realities of Programming | . Alex . Clemesha .

Seven Random Realities of Programming. July 23, 2010. 1) You will always be irrationally amazed that people use technology Y, when clearly technology X is better. 2) You will always be subjected to date and time juggling. No exceptions. 3) The time it takes you to become an expert at hot technology X will invariability be equal to the time it takes technology Y to become the next hot thing. 5) You will never, ever remember the difference between useradd and adduser on linux. Taken from personal experience.

You must use Internet Explorer at work (visual proof from Google Analytics). November 12, 2010. Looking at some details of my Google Analytics report for my web app The Wiki Game. I noticed a very striking visual proof that employees are still required to use Internet Explorer at work. Notice the large peaks and troughs of the IE traffic, where the troughs are all Saturday and Sundays. Thanks for reading this post! Follow me on Twitter here: @clemesha. I'm a big fan of Python.

Topics of Interest | . Alex . Clemesha .

http://www.clemesha.org/blog/Topics-of-Interest

April 05, 2009. I should blog more. That is, I should actually start doing it. Iâ m not sure if it counts, but Iâ ve been using Twitter. For about 9 months now, and it feels healthy to put to words what is on my mind (the non-trivial tweets, not the â Iâ m eating a bananaâ ones, which I actually have very few of). Iâ m going to be writing about my geeky topics of interest. These topics are surely going to include my various web-tech interest like Django. And XMPP Multi-User Chat. I'm a big fan of Python.
