DjangoBot: #django

Kurushiyama: yeah.. could be...

Kurushiyama: Although I hope it is just that..and he's not dead/hurt.

should i have a column that gets inc/dec when objects are added/removed?

yogi_: mysql

Kurushiyama: do you know if anyone here knows him irl ?

Prometheus: most people really don't need to worry about that - if you setup apache well, no fuss with that

wmealin1: sorry, no

Kurushiyama: lighty + fcgi actually! ;)

but yeah, no need to worry

billy: mysql..MyISAM? usually counts are really fast for that engine. but yes, a row that holds the current count would be the fastest way, especially for large data sets

Prometheus: I have better experience whith cherokee, but mainly that is a matter of taste

yogi_: thanks for the help

Kurushiyama: but I think learning about things like scaling before you need to do it, isn't exactly a bad idea ;)

Kurushiyama: learning about it few hours after you should've scaled up tends to be too late

thus I'd be interested to hear davidcramer's talk at djangocon

I find scaling always an interesting topic :)

Prometheus: if you plan to use it on large scale sites, you should look for scaling before you write the first line of code ;)

Zalamander: is there a way to see the query its generating

oy!

Kurushiyama: of course :)

davidcramer: what ! ?

davidcramer: highlighting is beautiful

oh, yeah.. djangocon you lucky dogs

i have made the coolest wp plugin of all time

haha, coolest wp

err.

davidcramer: lies.

wp is uncool, sorry

wp?

wordpress

exploit vendor.

there's no way you can make anything cool for that, not even if you added 10 buzzwords to it

11 buzzwords ?

nope

won't cut it

So what blogging engine do you guys use?

davidcramer: let me guess though, lifestreaming? ;)

haha, ya

im rewriting it now

its super awesome

all sane people use wordpress

sane?

o_o

who likes being sane, honestly?

nobody uses CoreBlog2 or serendipity?

I like reinventing the wheel

Prometheus: well, you can start with an almost round stone.... ;)

Kurushiyama: I am ;)

Prometheus: you are starting with an almost round stone?

actually, I'm not so fond of reinventing the whole wheel

Zalamander: http://www.sqlite.org/speed.html

just the important bits ;)

Prometheus: you could call it roundstone

I should

:)

I've got a stockpile of good names ;)

for various projects I haven't had the time to implement

(don't we all have that?)

wmealin1: you really gave me some thought about Magus

Prometheus: the need for food and shelter were my main reasons

Kurushiyama: fair enough

Kurushiyama: how so ?

wmealin1: he would have said if he wasn't here for a longer period, wouldn't he?

Prometheus: "Well, Landlord, I am sorry, can't pay the rent - but I have a nice django app I can offer you...."

i'd have thought so

wmealin1: I am on for several hours a day and didn't see anybody mention he did so, nor have I heard it from him

wow, snakes and rubies is 3 hours long

And very, very out of date.

that's longer than The Dark Knight o_o

mattmcc: of course, but it was just for entertainment purposes ;)

Prometheus: it's worth it, though

Prometheus: Eh. Assholes don't entertain me.

What's a good implementation for translation on models?

hey all, i got that query working with the foreign key. Is there a way to retrieve a column in the joined table with my query?

Kurushiyama: I'll have to save it for another day though, it's already late as it is :(

enoj: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/i18n/

juice_d: you should automatically get every field of the joined models, unless you're doing some custom SQL

ah, test it works

thanks all

hrm

hey there.. is it possible to change template's locale setting for date tag ? i'm trying to have a multilingual site..

INDEX (`feed_id`, DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(`timestamp`))) -- i take it i cant do this in mysql? :(

Kurushiyama: that doesn't talk about translation for model rows

enoj: hmm, true

no easy way, since it's not static text

django-rosetta maybe able to do it, but I am not sure

I've seen a few solutions, but doesn't know which one is the least hassle

doesn't seem like django-rosetta can do it

morning

hey, how can i instantiate an object based on its name stored in a string?

does anyone have ideas as to the logic behind ModelForms not automatically populating ForeignKey(User) fields with the current user?

e.g. str='Object'; new_obj = str()

hey there.. is it possible to change template's locale setting for date tag ? i'm trying to have a multilingual site..

Kilarney, because you need select_related()

Q45: new_obj = eval( str() )

in your example

Kilarney: ugly
