Django Production Error Handler
I am working on an application that, besides providing a dynamic website, also talks to an iPhone application. What happens when the iPhone, or a web visitor, triggered a bug in the application? Django actually provide a nice mechanism to report error in its “batteries included” goodness. You can easily setup the Django environment so [...] -

Serving favicon in an Django App using Apache
I got a free few minutes to work on my own site here. Since I migrated the site from all static pages to Django served, I still haven’t put back the favicon icon back onto the site. The sites runs under a virtual host in apache2 at WebFaction. This is what you need to put [...] -

Adobe Air Tour Europe stopped in Munich
Fortunately Tobias found out one day before that Adobe was touring with Air and coming to Munich. Adobe really had provided everything, from breakfast, drinks, lunch too I guess (we weren't there) and beer afterwards (that we didn't miss). It was really impressive. The talks were very Air focused, I ... -
Customize admin for User model
Before django 1.0 I don't remember that there was a way to customize how the admin renders the User overview. Fortunately 1.0 does allow it. It took me a bit to figure out. After searching the web and the django docs I didn't find it right away, so I tried the ... -

Django’s dev server and UTF-8
From time to time I got this UnicodeEncodeError, but I had done all the things (sitecustomize.py, some more) right in order to configure the system in UTF-8. I thought. I did the usual ./manage runserver and since I assumed that on my Mac everything is already properly configured ... -

JavaScript: Sort object by a value
Actually the headline is not really what I want to say :-). But I don't know any better yet. I just want to write down how I solved sorting the following: >>> var maxSpeed = {car:300, bike:60, motorbike:200, airplane:1000, helicopter:400, rocket:8*60*60} This is a list of vehicles with their (approx.) ... -
