I can't believe how stupid that is. It means your plugins are guaranteed to switch order every time one of them gets updated. Ugh! That is *really* stupid. I can’t believe how stupid that is.

If you are on dreamhost you can go to https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=goodies.cron& otherwise login via shell and do crontab -e The alternative is to write a middleware that if the difference between the current time and the last running time is more than an hour then run the desired code. But cron is a much easier, established solution. Yeah, cron.

I was having a few problems with it. The problem was an intermittent, unpredictable error about a third of the time which lead to /internal_error.html being displayed. This means that Django wasn’t even starting or was starting and failing very early on because if it was starting it would display the 500.html template instead of /internal_error.html. I took a look at the error.log and sure enough there were errors in the following format for each failed request: [time and date] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (104)Connection reset by peer: FastCGI: comm with server "/home/grimboy/example.com/django.fcgi" aborted: read failed [time and date] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/home/grimboy/example.com/django.fcgi" [...] [...] My mum’s site is set up using Django on Apache running in a shared hosting environment with Dreamhost as laid out in the official documentation and my own write-up.

Well, I don't know if it was the kernel version that caused problems, but it happened at the same time. Thanks! It fixed my problem, which appeared when they switched 2.4 kernel to 2.6.

That's pretty weird. So emacs users get to live forever? I can see the appeal but immortality isn't my thing. Also vi is more difficult than gvim in that you can't fall back on traditional gui editing techniques when you need to (for example, until I learnt the key for it I would use the menus for spell check). What is it saying about Visual Studio? That it suddenly becomes very easy? Anyway, interesting method of comparison. I'm not sure if it inspires conclusions though :D.
