Just realised that the Windows Azure definition of a "Compute hour" is "An hour for which your website is available", rather than "An hour of CPU time".

Which means my lovely new website is now being rewritten in JRuby to be hosted on Google AppEngine.

Happy now?

This bloody application's turning my whole world inside out. Hosting on Google, writing code in Java, needing to buy a Mac... I'll be growing a beard and going vegan at this rate. Happy now?

But it is, and you will come to realise this on your way to nirvana. Just don't forget to smell the flowers on the way. (flower) bastard by name, bastard by nature

I am now smelling the flowery smell of #! Linux on my netbook, because running JRuby on Windows sucks monkey arses.

Actually, if anybody's looking for a really lightweight distro, #! is worth a look. It's a stripped-down and optimized version of Ubuntu 9.04, and very minimalist in a Zen sort of way. No start menu or anything.

Happy now?

They certainly deserve a prize finding a name that is entirely impossible to search for using google. Twats. :S

That actually looks fairly interesting as a fully functional version of ubuntu for me to run XBMC on.

Given up on JRuby for the time being. It's much easier to get apps running on AppEngine if you write them in Python. But the experiment with JRuby did get me back in vi, which I count as a good thing.

Anybody used Django for anything substantial?

Happy now?
