DjangoCon Videos are online now!
I wasn’t fortunate enough to attend DjangoCon 2008 at Google’s headquarters but I’m happy to see that the videos from the conference are now available on Youtube and Google Video. I really liked the Django Success Stories discussion. It is interesting to see how small most of the development teams are for these projects. The team I work on is small too, in fact there are only two of us. And we don’t have a designer. So I spend most of my time fighting CSS and HTML rather than working on real code. Of course, starting a project with ColdFusion is a lot more painful and slower than starting a project with Django. But I’m comparing apples to oranges. ColdFusion is not a real web framework like Django.
You can find the DjangoCon 2008 playlist here.

Hi Jeff, I actually ran across your blog because of a search a ran of “Diamond mind” and MAC. I am part of a SIM league that is run on diamond mind and someone was asking about using it on a MAC. The comments were closed for that post so I thought I would just post here. Since you know about diamond mind and seem very interested in baseball, I thought I would point you to http://www.majorsimleague.com and let you know that we have two openings if you are interested. Feel free to check the site and look at our league message board (there is a link n the main page).
