My Ponderings

Are you pondering what I'm pondering? 

Testing Google App Engine

Nearly finished.

I decided to scrap the posting to twitter and facebook for now, posts will just be published on the front page and an RSS feed.

All thats left is to integrate some google ads and it's good to go.

Testing Google App Engine

I've been mucking about with the Google App Engine for the last couple of weeks and now I want to make something.


The basic idea

An app which automatically publishes a post a day at a specified time from a database full of posts.

Requirements
  • Each post will be displayed on the homepage and published to an RSS feed. - possibly to twitter and facebook as well.
  • A like and dislike button on each post.
  • Ability to see and scroll through old posts on the website.
  • Ability to set a date a post is to be published.
  • Randomly select a post when there are no posts to be published on that date.
  • An admin section for adding, removing and editing posts.
  • Add google ads to posts.
  • Add google analytics to everything.
I want to use Python and a MVC framework, gae-mvc-engine http://code.google.com/p/gae-mvc-engine/ looks pretty good so I'm going to go with that.

Moving and restarting

After a year of running my own Wordpress blog I have decided to start
afresh. I sort of have a direction this time... I think... Lets see if
my crappy attention span lets me see this through.

First off, what the hell should I do with my old posts? Ah I've made
another posterous site for them - http://deepzoom.posterous.com/
awesome stuff posterous.
