So I was rebuilding my environment on Mosso, and used this as a template (it worked rather well and was close enough to what I had before.

But I think you forgot an important step... installing Django :)

You can easily use /a/DOMAIN/bin/easy_install for that.

Thanks

Is there a reason you chose to install certain python packages from source versus packaging? I'm on 8.10 Ubuntu and a lot of this is pre-packaged.

Awesome, I am a symfony developer, and have ported parts of the toolbar to my django app, but you went the whole 9 yards. Thanks.

Now you can update several cells, some xml schemas, and some sapi calls, and some sapi providers and run an indexing process over the weekend and blammo.

Re: Is fragmentation bad?

I like your explanation for fragmentation... I do like the steps FF has taken to integrate back with twitter - and as a del.icio.us user-neer (engineer+user) constantly find myself finding a lot of great del.icio.us links in FF, that I'd like to save while perserving some of the extras we get by saving via delicious.

I'm not sure I'm explaining my want very clearly. Essentially if I see a delicious post on FF, I'd like to click a button to save it to my delicious, and still get the tags that my friend used as suggested tags.

It seems like any service would want this deeper integration with FF :)

My purchasing rule is generally can I use it now. This doesn't always work, but it usually can. I live in the city of Minneapolis, so most places where I need to buy things are near me.

When I buy something I always ask, how is this going to integrate into my life today.

This keeps food from going bad, and from me asking myself, "why did I buy this?"

I still find myself surrounded by clutter in my closetless 1911 house.
