Ping…
I thought I should make a post just to mark the passing of time. I have only managed to put a few hours a week into anything vaguely related to the game for the past several weeks and most of that time has been devoted to remembering where I was last time and poking at the web-page.
The bit I want to get working before I rejig the publicly viewable link is to have user accounts with passworded logins. I know that Django does most of this for you, and I don’t feel the need to roll my own, so all that is left to do is to actually find the documentation that will explain how to do it. The Django documentation is excellent when it is there, but it’s either not there for this bit or it is in a place I’m not looking. Probably the latter.
I should also update my Django install, as it has been a while, and besides the potential for bug fixing, it is good to practice replacing it to expose any nastiness in the process that I should be aware of. It may also encourage me to clean up my whole development environment which has steadily crufted-up. It was a pretty clean Perforce-controlled app codebase, then I was managing to edit the mod_python stuff and releasing it to the server environment, but over time more and more tweaks and files have made their home in the server itself. I don’t like this state of affairs and I really want to organise things so that I edit off the server and release to it automatically in some way.
Then again, I should also clean behind the refridgerator, and that isn’t happening anytime soon.
