I spent a couple of hours today hacking together a community feed site for the TorCamp group. It’s basically an aggregation site for people blogging about web technologies in Toronto. The code is based on the community section of the djangoproject.com, they have the full source code available. I am planning to open source TorCamp Planet once it reaches a stable state as well.
This neat trick by Eric Holscher is simply awesome. By adding a little middleware in your Django application, you can have your production server show authenticated superusers the proper error messages while blocking everyone else with the default 500 page.

This is pretty cool - a default browser that lets you select which browser you would like the link to be launched with. I am still testing it out, but it seems to work well, and the interface is very unobstrusive. I do all my browsing in Safari and development in Firefox, so being able to select which browser to go to depending on the link is really nice - I used to copy and paste when I needed to go to Firefox.
