Looking at zbugs

Inspired by http://www.zbugs.com/ 
What if I could put some code on my site that said:

If (nozip)
  Add normal js/css to template
Else
  Add subdomain.site.com/js and css urls

The service would pull down the js/css urls like a cdn does in the background and serve them up.

Supervisor Expandconfig

Short demo of a tool we’re working on to expand configurations for Supervisord. You can see a brief screencast covering this.

Playing with django-jack

I installed and got django-jack up and running to interface with one of our development beanstalkd servers. 

A few notes:

  1. Depends on PyYAML (easy_install PyYAML)
  2. Depends on django-flash (easy_install -U django-flash)
  3. Need to create the database and make sure permissions are right.

The software allows you to view all the beanstalkd stats and makes it easier to peek, put, and try pulling out jobs.  Not terribly useful for production, but helpful in development.

Rating photos

It’d be great if either Aperture or Lightroom had a remote that would allow you sit on the couch, rate your photos, and mark photos for editing (you could also just leave them unrated). I’ve now got Aperture on my desktop which is great from a disk and CPU resources perspective when operating on the full library, but I don’t necessarily want to rate my (copious) photos all sitting at the desk. Maybe I should rate some photos rather than typing up this idea.
