September 2007 Archives
So, I am currently developing a website, that is similar in concept to Pownce, but attempts to give its users a platform to share, and comment on sports news and highlights. We are kinda bootstrapping this development, as we are not currently in a position to shell out for huge development costs.
In the next week we really need to make a few decisions regarding the future of our little web app bench'd. The main decision is what platform should we build our website on. I personally have used Rails and PHP, with Django currently turning my head. I get distracted very easily really. I want to pose a question to anyone who may read this. What is your opinion?
PHP will cheap, I have a good level of experience with it, and therefore can contribute more then just the design. However, Ruby on Rails, and Django, will help us hit our deadlines better (only my opinion), but will no doubt incur higher development costs. Please share your thoughts below.
So, I have been playing around with movable type 4 for the past 3 evenings, and I really like what they have done. I have started customising the design as you can see here. However, I am so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to do the really nitty gritty stuff.
This blog is partly due to the fact that I realised last week while attending the FOWA road trip in Edinburgh, and Dublin that I need to get of my ass and get my site finished. I started this site one night in June when I couldn't sleep, and finished the design 3 hours later (hence why it is so crap, and hates IE6 users), after that development stagnated dramatically! So over the next few weeks I continue to upgrade the blog while still trying my best to blog frequently.
In traditional technology nerd style this is my first post. So hello world.
