Django Hosting

Wow it has been a crazy two weeks. My boss has gone on holiday to Scotland for three weeks and left me to manage stuff. Let’s just say that I have a new respect for him. Trying to manage customers, people and your own work is damn hectic.

Data Saving Time

The Frame for Work

Now that I have my Apache web server and Subversion up and running it’s time to install the Django Framework that I want to use to create the site (read previous posts if you have no clue what I am rambling about).
