I am the programmer behind IvyLees The network for PR and business
and Presskit'n Do-It-Yourself Public Relations.
I developed the sites with django and also administrate the servers.
I am one of the developers in Match Strike: we build websites.
I just installed django-memcache-status to see the usage of memcache in the django admin interface. It looks pretty good and it’s easy to install. Just download it and add it to installed apps. http://github.com/bartTC/django-memcache-status/
Yeah amazon’s content distribution network is awesome and not a bad price. I’d like to hook that up sometime soon. I didn’t know that subdomains would help with the browser limit. That’s a good idea.
I gave it another shot and it still wasn’t working. I sent a message to the google group and got a response from someone at google. It is a feature that needs to be implemented and it sounds like they will prioritize it since a few people were requesting it. http://groups.google.com/group/google-analytics…
This is awesome. It was pretty easy to get going. It seems like google analytics is unable to produce one type of result that I want though. For a single page on my site I want to know the keywords that got people there or the referrers. I can browse to it on the web interface, but I keep getting bad request errors when I try a way to get that info from them.
I’ve tried adding pagePath and keyword as dimensions and I’ve tried using a filter on pagePath while only having keyword as a dimension. Neither of those would work. Do you have any other ideas I could try?
Thanks. I’ve never been to tutlist before. Sounds like a good idea.
Interesting. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks.
Ah good question. I left that in from some old code I guess. It was probably from before I made the model work by being applied to any other object. I removed it from the code. Thanks.
Are you saving the urls after someone requests one to be lengthened? It could act as a backup if one of the shorteners went down. Maybe one of the firefox extension developers that expand urls could use your saved urls in that case.
I haven’t gotten into caching and increasing performance of my application code itself; I was starting with the server. Thanks for the suggestion. When I do get around to speeding up slow parts of my code, I’ll keep Beaker in mind.
There are two more django apps that could help reduce http requests. I didn’t find these until after posting this. http://code.google.com/p/django-sprites/ and http://github.com/rnk/django-media-bundler/tree… will help create image sprites so that your css background images are all one file request. CSS sprites are explained in more detail here http://alistapart.com/articles/sprites
