Re: Very disappointed with Sprint - Benjamin Golub

bgolub — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:44:35 -0000

The plan is great but the phones that it works on are very disappointing.
Sure I have unlimited data but it's difficult to use. I doubt my plan is the
reason Sprint is in trouble; it was only available for a small period of
time to people referred by a Sprint employee. If it were a problem they'd
have no issue with me dropping my contract (or they would have done it for
me already).

I found it via a Google alert for my name :)

TagHandler probably doesn't work because you haven't made an index for filtering on tag. Here is my index.yaml:


indexes:

- kind: Entry
  properties:
  - name: published
    direction: desc

- kind: Entry
  properties:
  - name: tags
  - name: published
    direction: desc

I have mine wired to my router which is wired to my NAS but it also supports
USB wireless adapters if you need.

If everything inherits from BaseRequestHandler and all patterns end in /?
then you don't need that. Take a look at my blog's code for how this works:

Yeah I had it working on RSSmeme (http://blog.disqus.net/2008/03/06/dynamically-s...) and it actually worked for a while but the HTML emitted by reply.js was modified and it left RSSmeme looking kind of ugly. Instead of fixing the CSS I just went back to the "official" method of integration.

Re: How To: Dynamic Slide Down Disqus Comments

bgolub — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:56:52 -0000

One easy way to fix it would be to just empty all other Disqus iframes when
you open one; essentially only let one disqus thread be expanded at a time.

I just pushed some new CSS for a more user friendly post form. Grab the
latest code and deploy. I have some new features I'd like to support down
the line too:

1) The blog should check the body of your post to be sure that it is valid
HTML before letting you publish.
2) There should be a way to do drafts.

But no timeframe for when those will get done.

bgolub — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 07:15:33 -0000

Yeah; but for some reason that seems more difficult to me than something simple and universal like class inheritance. I am starting to feel very limited by Django's function based views.

I haven't driven the Mazda 3 but you're probably right about the power; the Civic does feel a bit weak.

bgolub — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:04:41 -0000

Good idea. I'll come up with some sort of README for in the repository eventually.

Side note; you commented on http://blog.benjamingolub.com and I've moved this over to http://www.benjamingolub.com. The Disqus comments are mapped to the complete URL so these comments aren't showing on www. Sigh. I've made the DNS modification so if you hit blog. you'll be redirect to www. but I'm afraid this thread is doomed to be lost forever.

There isn't much to it. Create an App Engine account, create an app.yaml
(instructions are in the App Engine docs), and deploy this code:

Unfortunately the dog-pile effect isn't gone completely. It's still possible that it can happen and RSSmeme will be slow. My tests show that things are getting better though and the site is currently up and running.

I didn't add your blog. RSSmeme pulls in articles when people share them
using Google Reader / Digg / FriendFeed / etc. Thanks for using RSSmeme!

Thanks! I actually added this sometime last week but forgot to announce it.
