As a little side project to distract myself while I’m beefing up the IM server, I decided to implement a feature we’ve been thinking about for a long time: institutionalizing the @user convention. Now, while you’re writing your response, you’ll see a pop-up list of users within the discussion when you start typing ‘@’, and […]
How’d they do that? Breaking the server. 5:46 pmSome of you may have noticed the hour that Fluther was down this afternoon. I thought I’d give you a little insight into what we’ve been I’ve been up to while Bacio fiddles the bits on the server. Not wanting anyone to accuse us of not running with the cool kids, I decided to implement […]
Farewell, Mark. 4:46 pmWe’ve just put up our last project — part of our multi-faceted join-flow redesign — with Mark before he was hired away by some unknown startup. Mark was key to our redesign back in March 2007, and he helped translate the ideas and brand we had bouncing around in our collective heads into a coherent message and design. We […]

Consider this a rough draft… the implementation may change a little bit.
django + vim 1:59 pmI’ve finally weaned myself off Komodo, since the vim bindings had just enough tiny errors to annoy me, and I was never satisfied with how long it took to find and open a file inside the project. The one thing I was really missing in vim, though, was solid code-completion feature. After much haranguing, I […]
We just pushed some changes for a long-standing request: opening links in new windows. We’ve also recently updated the guidelines. We hope you enjoy how easy it is to return to your addiction!
mogileFS for Django 11:28 pmIn preparation for DjangoCon, I thought I’d release a little bit of quickly-written-code (read: easily improvable!) that we use to serve our avatars on Fluther. Here’s the basic rundown: Get mogilefs on your box Patch django to support different FileBackends Get data into mogile Get data out of mogile Getting mogile We use Ubuntu on […]

And doesn’t ask you […]
