It has been ages since I last posted, and for that I am sorry, but I have kept up with my twitter and identica accounts. Things have been moving really fast for me of late and as a result my blogging has slipped. So whats new in the world of earobinson?
- I am now working for CAE, more precisely CAE PS out of Toronto, and I am loving every moment of it. They have a very open culture and encourage the use of open source tools when appropriate. I have been able to use Ubuntu to host some of the websites I have developed in Django. This has kept me very happy. I can honestly say that I think that my Ubuntu, and Open Source knowledge set me apart.
- I have been getting more and more into photography with my new Canon EOS Rebel T1i, you can follow me on flickr.
- I have been ramping up my fitness (and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills) at Toronto BJJ.
This brings me to my goals for the future, I am falling in love with Django and as a result I want to play with it more and more, now my current hosting provider 1and1 has served me very well up to now. But now that I want to start playing with Django more I need to get a hosting provider that can support Django (because I want to show off my work of course). I would hope that any new hosting provider I use could support both Django, and ruby on rails (as I may want to play with it in the future). So dear lazy web what do you recommend? And I know I could use Google app engein but I like the idea of pure Django, not some hack, I have also looked at djangohosting.org but would love some recommendations from actual users of hosting plans.
Any advise lazyweb?
Maybe try getting your own VPS? I use one to host various personal Django/PHP/Mono/Rails websites. I highly recommend Linode (shameless affiliate link plug: http://www.linode.com/?r=289f7c2bc11a1ec8a9d49058626ed542fbc0900b – I might be able to afford to upgrade my RAM!). Having root access to a VPS also enables you to do so much more than web hosting.
Get a look at slicehost they are awesome!
