So, today on a random IRC Channel, the following definition of Django was given:
< freespace> jsp for python
The comparison seems like chalk and cheese. What I do know about JSP, is the fact that to do even little things would require a lot more code than the task was worth, where with Django on the other hand, it is simply a simple task. Create Models, views, and URLs, and you are done.
If you are wanting to know what Django really is (and what wouldn't you? It's fabulous!), have a look at: The Django Overview and Django FAQ
Meanwhile, Linux Australia, has announced that they are going to re-do their current site, and need to come up with something that better integrates, and provides a more modern, look.
Suggestions have already come up, for what should be used as a starting base. Drupal, Django and Ruby on Rails have all been mentioned, with embperl and slashcode being mentioned by people with more time than sense ;-).
Hopefully they go with something sensible (Django), and not end up with something clunky (Drupal).

It's quite scary to believe it's true.
Uni's over, and fun weeks ahead.

Life, University,
So, I thought I better make a entry to note that I am finally on STUVAC, and with only two tests (and one presentation) this semester, it should be a rather easy, but still study-full end of semester.
Mind you, besides for the above, I have some really interesting shows/concerts coming up, which will be fun to work at, including such as: Pearl Jam, U2, AFI & Billy Joel.
Today, mum flew out to see her sister ... well eventually ... the flight was nicely delayed (thanks Qantas!). But I do guess safety is their main concern.
The good thing tho, is that after my exams, I am on holidays till next year... which means that I can finally put some time into getting my new site up and running.
For now, Study and Presentation readiness time.
