We’re planning an event here at Well.ca, a secret event. But that’s not what this post is about. To organize and send out invites for this event I suggested we use MyPunchBowl. I haven’t done much with it, but it looked half decent and I’ve heard good things about it.
There was one problem with MyPunchBowl, [...]

Django Caching Middleware & Login Page

Recently on StartupIndex.ca, I’ve noticed a problem where the first time you login it fails, the second time it works. I sat down last night, and spent some time attempting to solve this problem. My search on the greater web didn’t end up with very many results, I did find one mailing list thread on [...]


StartupIndex.ca Article in ComputerWorld Canada

Jevon and I were interviewed by ComputerWorld Canada yesterday. The article just went up this morning. Can get to it here: http://www.itworldcanada.com/a/Daily-News/25b53438-4513-4bda-8527-0350f9672ae7.html


JSR 311 - Java REST Libraries

I’m starting to work on a project at Well.ca using Java and REST. Knowing the amount of REST libraries out there for other languages, I figured there would be a good amount for Java. Wrong!
There is a Java specification currently in draft for REST, it’s called JSR 311. Now the problem with this is that [...]


StartupIndex.ca Updated with Widgety Goodness

I updated StartupIndex.ca yesterday with some new features.

Ali updated the map on the frontpage to be more intelligent and fixed some annoying problems with it. Now it looks better and responds better.
We now have widgets! See below for an example widget, but this code can be placed into any webpage to give information on a [...]


Two New Tools for Web Dev

IETester was just released, this tool looks to be incredibly handy. Right now it’s in Alpha, but I’m still planning on using it. Previously I used Multiple IE, but I found that to be a little buggy and prone to not work at all at times. I’m planning on giving it a try sometime today, [...]


StartupIndex: It’s ALIVE!

StartupIndex was launched tonight at StartupCampToronto. I’m really excited to see where this goes. We have lots of plans for the future, lots and lots of features and information. I’ll keep this blog updated when major updates are made. For now, check out StartupIndex and read Jevon’s post about StartupIndex on StartupNorth. Only a few [...]


Django: Difference Between Two Model Instances

Just a quick snippet, I call this code on a site I’m working on to handle some basic moderation. It finds the difference between the two instances, and returns a dictionary of the changes. The key in the dictionary is the field name, each value in the dictionary is a tuple containing the new and [...]


Django: Caching Querysets

I have just recently started working with Django again, its been a while since I last used it. One thing I was trying to do was cache querysets, which doesn’t work. Before the recent merge of the queryset refactor branch into trunk, caching querysets appeared to work, in reality it didn’t. Now with the merge [...]


Trademarks & Google Adwords

We just started a new Adwords campaign at Well.ca, we’re trying to build in some intelligence and simplify the management of the Adwords. I was looking over our campaign today and noticed a trademark error. See screenshot. Apparently, the word “Platinum” is trademarked.

I did a quick search on the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and found [...]
