Ok, you may have seen my last post about blogKomm, but I got annoyed while setting it up. Very annoyed. The result of that is that I will be rolling my own blog in Django. And of course after looking at Django some more, I decided to redo my whole site using it for ease of use (and so I don't have to have the ugly /django/ urls so fcgi will play nice with lighttpd.

After much frustration, I've finally gotten mod_fastcgi set up in lighttpd and ready to use with Django. What will I be using Django for?

My new projects page. With any luck this will work out better than the small javascript dropdown I have now! Stay tuned for any further updates I may have of my Django progress.

Today I noticed that irssi was displaying a spike in network activity randomly. Wondering who it could be that was hammering my little section of the internet, I checked the lighttpd logs only to find out that the Googlebot had found my test spider trap! A bit more digging and it looks like it has been accessed over 35,000 times by Googlebot alone and is featured on over 40 pages of Google search results for listings from my site.

I guess it's about that time to set up a robots.txt :)

(The spider trap is located at http://lfowles.org/loop.py ... don't worry, it's safe to a normal browser ;) )
