Well, I've finally finished. For the better part of a year I've been dabbling with Django, a python based framework (sort of like ruby on rails.. except in python.. which i know and like.. i'm not going to enter into the debate about whether python is better than ruby, except to say that I KNOW python, i don't know Ruby).
Nothing. Have a look around and enjoy... if you like or hate anything.. send email to alex [ at ] my domain name..
I have absolutely loved working with Django. As always with python.. it's the only language i've ever written code in where my code works more often than not without having to fix syntax errors or bugs. It's concise, clear and easy to write.. highly recommended.
Django itself is a great framework. I've dabbled with a lot of frameworks (even built a couple myself) and over and above the amazing clarity of python code, Django's framework is simple and easy to use.. i really didn't have to write that much code to get this site up and running.. nearly everything is in my database models and relating data.
Having now finished this project, i'm keen to look around for some client work that I can implement using Django, i REALLY believe that it is a much better platform for developing a site than any PHP solution i've used... and i've used a bunch :)

Hey Zach... cheers.. glad you like it.
Sadly you've poked around while half my work is still in a folder on the desktop of my mac... hehehe.
My old site had no text about the works... so it was way easier to maintain.. i've been realising the last few days that the decision to add copy about jobs is going to irk me forever!
Why does it seem our own work and expertise is that which we let fall behind the most? Maintaining an active portfolio is a pain in the ass!
Zach: i guess because no one pays us for our portfolio... although it IS so important.
I've know a few people who've just parked their website with sayings like: In the house of a blacksmith, knives made of wood (sounds better in spanish than translated into English ;) ) .. i'm convinced it's not really true though..
Great looking site! Thanks for stopping by on ours! I'll be poking around now...
