philgyford : Street Fashion Photography Is Messing With Me « Thought Catalog - Ha, very good. My memories of photos on these blogs does collapse into: women in casually very little; women in expensive smartness; men, usually older, in odd combinations.

philgyford : Django Deployment Workshop by Jacob Kaplan-Moss - This looks good. A three hour video tutorial about deploying Django, "including Amazon's EC2 and S3, Fabric, Varnish, nginx, mod_wsgi, memcached, PostgreSQL, pgpool, pg_standby, and more." I just need to find three spare hours now.

philgyford : 00:/Blog - Silicon Roundabout’s ‘Start-up City’ - Ugh. How do you take the really ugly Old Street roundabout and make it even more ugly and hideous and somewhere you really wouldn't want to be? Like this! (via @antimega)

philgyford : The Best (and Worst) of Django - A presentation covering a few things to do or avoid. Bookmarking it mainly for the settings bit at the end, something I should do better, like this.

philgyford : Astrogator’s Logs » Blog Archive » If They Come, It Might Get Built - "If we launch starships, whether of exploration or settlement, they won’t be conquerors; they will be worse off than the Polynesians on their catamarans, the losses will be heavy and their state at planetfall won’t resemble anything depicted in Hollyw

#12/09/2011 @ 11:00 UTC
philgyford : Our Universities: How Bad? How Good? by Peter Brooks | The New York Review of Books - I'm not sure why I keep finding these articles about universities so interesting. Maybe because it's so hard to pin down what they're *for*, never mind how to achieve that.
#11/09/2011 @ 11:00 UTC
philgyford : The Mad Men Account by Daniel Mendelsohn | The New York Review of Books - "…even as it invites us to be shocked by what it's showing us, it keeps eroticizing what it's showing us too." Yes, all this. I've never understood why the show's supposed to be great.

philgyford : The New Pants Revue | Beyond The Beyond - Bruce Sterling comparing old and new 5.11 Tactial Pants. I love this SF-writer/fashion crossover point. I tried some of these on recently and they seemed oddly baggy. Maybe I'm too used to jeans. (via @GreatDismal)
#9/09/2011 @ 01:00 UTC
philgyford : Custom Fit Jeans by Sam & Leona — Kickstarter - Project to make custom-fit jeans for only $60 a pair. I am very sceptical that the material and manufacture can be much good, computerised cutting or not. (via Charles Stross)
#8/09/2011 @ 21:00 UTC
philgyford : Views Differ on Shape of Earth, Climate Edition - How few Americans have any idea what percentage of scientists think climate change is real. Depressing, and why the BBC (and others) shouldn't try to be "balanced" about the issue. (via Daring Fireball)
#8/09/2011 @ 20:00 UTC

philgyford : Teach our kids to code - e-petitions - Not sure if it's just me, but isn't it only tech people who refer to "computer programming" as "coding"? I can imagine many people, those who matter, having no idea what this petition wants. "Coding? Is that about secret
