[13:27:49] <xrogaan> is it always so empty ?
[14:45:53] <papna> xrogaan: It's not an extremely active channel.
[14:46:49] <papna> The drinks image is a stock photo.
[14:47:48] <xrogaan> :p
[17:01:50] <aclark> yep
[17:02:37] <aclark> xrogaan: you can see the history in the chat logs: http://chat-logs.dcpython.org
[17:03:30] <aclark> kennethreitz: say, what do you blog with?
[17:03:38] <kennethreitz> aclark: pelican
[17:03:42] <xrogaan> jeckyll !
[17:03:46] <aclark> hah
[17:03:57] <kennethreitz> http://readthedocs.org/docs/pelican/en/2.7.2/
[17:04:05] <kennethreitz> it's super simple
[17:04:07] <xrogaan> oh, pelican, nice
[17:04:22] <kennethreitz> jinja2, markdown, restructured text
[17:04:30] <kennethreitz> you have a variable called 'articles'
[17:04:34] <kennethreitz> current article is 'article'
[17:04:37] <xrogaan> does it have default design ?
[17:04:40] <kennethreitz> it's like static wordpress
[17:04:41] <kennethreitz> it does
[17:04:56] <kennethreitz> the code for my site is here
[17:05:02] <kennethreitz> https://github.com/kennethreitz/.com
[17:05:18] <xrogaan> I suck a designing a html site
[17:05:28] <xrogaan> and i wish to replace wordpress
[17:05:30] <kennethreitz> just run 'make' and the site's in ./output
[17:05:32] <xrogaan> so pelican it is !
[17:05:37] <kennethreitz> haha awesome
[17:05:43] <kennethreitz> i mean there are many other good options
[17:05:48] <aclark> kennethreitz: ooo, great news about requests here: http://kennethreitz.com/major-progress-for-requests.html
[17:05:48] <kennethreitz> but i love being able to do python
[17:06:01] <kennethreitz> aclark: thanks! I'm pretty pumped :)
[17:06:02] <aclark> urllib2 -> toilet
[17:06:10] <aclark> i bet
[17:06:14] <kennethreitz> \o/
[17:06:20] <aclark> well played sir
[17:06:58] <aclark> xrogaan: i have about 5 years of blog posts spread across plone and wordpress, time for something new
[17:07:34] <aclark> kennethreitz: what are some other good blog options? i don't like blogofile, tried it last night
[17:08:15] <xrogaan> irc is distracting me from coding
[17:08:28] <aclark> hmmm yeah i like writing in rst
[17:08:34] <kennethreitz> for python?
[17:08:39] <aclark> xrogaan: of course it is, as it should :-p
[17:08:40] <kennethreitz> i think pelican's the only good python one
[17:08:42] <aclark> k
[17:08:49] <aclark> yeah probably python
[17:09:00] <kennethreitz> there's rstblog, blogofile, hyde
[17:09:01] <xrogaan> there where a "hyde" somewhere. But it sucks a bit
[17:09:04] <aclark> although i don't care too much
[17:09:06] <kennethreitz> a few others
[17:09:09] <kennethreitz> yeah
[17:09:11] <aclark> for blogging i'm more of an end user
[17:09:12] <kennethreitz> pelican is really nice
[17:09:20] <kennethreitz> let me do custom types and stuff too
[17:09:21] <aclark> but wordpress is getting on my nerves
[17:09:25] <xrogaan> true
[17:09:29] <aclark> and plone is not full featured without pain
[17:09:30] <kennethreitz> so i have a 'projects' folder, and a 'pages' folder
[17:09:32] <kennethreitz> it's great
[17:09:34] <xrogaan> it's eating cpu cycles
[17:09:35] <kennethreitz> oh wordpress is the best
[17:09:45] <aclark> it is
[17:09:45] <kennethreitz> but you have to run it and crap :)
[17:09:52] <aclark> and i've enjoyed it, but I GET IT now
[17:10:02] <xrogaan> heh ?
[17:10:03] <aclark> exactly
[17:10:54] <aclark> xrogaan: wordpress clearly "wins" but i'm not interested in learning about it / using it any more. especially not interested in hosting it
[17:11:23] <xrogaan> wordpress is a shitty bloging software
[17:11:51] <xrogaan> not kiss anymore
[17:11:51] <kennethreitz> not at all
[17:11:54] <kennethreitz> wordpress is a fantastic cms
[17:12:04] <xrogaan> freaking CMS, right
[17:12:08] <kennethreitz> exactly
[17:12:10] <xrogaan> not a blog
[17:12:11] <kennethreitz> it's overkill for a personal site
[17:12:14] <kennethreitz> it's great for what it is
[17:12:21] <kennethreitz> but it's ussually not needed
[17:12:35] <xrogaan> dotclear
[17:12:47] <xrogaan> dotclear.org
[17:14:10] <kennethreitz> just use pelican
[17:14:14] <kennethreitz> or jeckyll
[17:14:46] <xrogaan> for an idlerpg, how would you keep track of the idleness ?
[17:15:38] <kennethreitz> afk
[17:16:26] <xrogaan> YEAH RUNNING AWAY ! CHICKEN !
