What's Alex been up to?

Hmm, it's a long time since I've posted on here

a short talk given to the whole congregation but specifically addressed at the kids. This was the third one I've given. The theme was "The glory of God in creation", so I went to town with images of the Great Barrier Reef, the biggest trees in the world, galactic superstructure filaments and the intricacy of a single leaf

That's awesome.

I want to play some theme decks from the set.

Do you know which decks you'd like to see?

I'm curious - why didn't you go the Django route?

I looked around for summaries and comparisons of a few different web frameworks. I didn't have particularly strong feelings one way or the other. There were many that all looked capable. I do like Python, a lot, but I was also interested in Ruby. I think possibly what may have swung it is that I was thinking of deploying on toothycat.net, and Chris already has a RoR app running on toothycat.net, so I knew it was possible. (I ended up deploying on Heroku because of how smooth the integration with Git was, and because that way I wouldn't have to trouble toothycat so much.)

Impressive

I've had a hard time accomplishing anything lately. Granted, we have three new kids instead of just one...
