GoneWacko’s Blog

All quiet on the GoneWacko front

Yes, I have once again not updated the blog in a while. This is because nothing worth mentioning happened to me. Still, I’ll just tell you what’s been going on.

I’ve just been going to school, doing business related work (merging two ICT businesses is boring) and learning about the various corporate bodies that are available in the Netherlands, which supposedly relates to ICT and Product Quality Assurance - Don’t ask me how.

Furthermore, my parents left for Portugal yesterday. They shall return next week, however, because they’re just on a holiday. Still, that means I’m home alone this week, which is nice because I can crank up the volume without disturbing anybody (unfortunately I’ve recently been feeling a little bored with my music, I should really get some new albums and/or discover some new bands/artists).

Also, just before my parents left, the car dealership called to tell us the new car was finished - we ordered a Volkswagen Touran which looks kind of ugly but also kind of neat. Furthermore, it’s still a brand new car with all kinds of features we have never had in our car before (our previous car didn’t even have air conditioning, for example), so that’s pretty exciting.

Also, recently I’ve been experimenting with Django, which is quite a nice Python web framework, not unlike Ruby on Rails, except for some features and that it’s in Python and thus is cool.
I’ve not really been able to think of anything to try Django with though, so if you’ve got any ideas for something that I ought to try writing, please do give them to me
(unfortunately Yoda - the server that hosts this website - does not have Django installed and it does not seem to be supporting it properly currently, so I don’t think I’ll be using it in a ‘production environment’ any time soon considering the fact that the only other server I have (access to) is a 233 MHz machine on a 8/1 Mbit/sec pipe…)
