I prefer Mercurial

In our company some developers from time to time propose we should move from Subversion to Git. I don’t see any point for that because Subversion is working quite well for us and if someone wants to use Git they can do it with git-svn. However for my pet projects I want to use some DVCS and for that I have used Git for a while. When I started to investigate Byteflow I also started to use Mercurial because Byteflow source is on Mercurial repository. I have also investigated little bit Bazaar, but from that I don’t have any real use experience (hope I will get some day). You can find out lot of hype and discussion about Git, but I have to say I have little bit ambivalence feelings of Git.


Deployment with NginX, Flup and Django

In first post I mentioned I would cover Byteflow installation and deployment process in next post. That wasn’t actually true because this third post :) I have developed with PHP for years and have recently tried out some developing with Python. Python frameworks that I have explored are Django, Web2py and Pylons. I started with Django and really like it. Also Pylons looks really nice. Web2py has some nice ideas but the concept feels somehow weird (development happens on browser). When I had an idea of this blog I had feeling that I would get it up and running in shortest time if I use Django. Then I started look for ready to use Django blog app and found Byteflow. Installation on local machine was quite easy but installation on server I had some problems.


Motorcycling on Nummi-Pusula

Last week I got tip for good motorcycling route from one of my friend Toni. He had been driving somewhere from Lohja to Nummi-Pusula. From his advice I got idea for following trip, which I drove last weekend.


Trying something new

I don’t like routines and I think that one reason why I’m in software industry, this way I can automate those tasks. I also like to learn something new. With this blog I’m also learning new. In my daily work I’m working mostly with Apache, MySQL and PHP. Now this blog is Python based Byteflow, which is running top of NginX. For database engine I use SQLite.
