This book leads you in - it won’t grab you. You’ll be drawn in and given the perspective of Prentice, a young man who is trying to decide who he is, and what form his relationships will hold. This means he’s not an immediately likeable person. In fact, there are parts where you think he’s selfish, holds immature grudges and not fully aware of all his feelings. But this makes him real, like any other young person his age.

I’ve been looking at Django recently and I wanted to share some notes on how to create custom users. Django comes with a built-in user model, but sometimes you need to extend it or create a new one. Here’s how you can do it. Basically there will be several steps to follow: Create a custom user model Update the myproject/settings.py file Create a view for the custom user model Update the admin confiruration Create the migration and apply The files for this blog post can be found here: https://github.

So, I’ve started the 100 days of code again. This is an attempt to keep the brain ticking over and keep coding fun. There are certain things I do at work, that really aren’t always that taxing. But they are necessary. This is to explore other areas that I typically wouldn’t use. I think I haven’t used recursion before at work. This is probably unusual for developers, but it’s not really in what I do.

Back in the late 80’s I worked on the ICL 2900. This was a cluster of machines that made up a mainframe. The retro orange panels and the air-lock that we had to pass to get to the resources, made it feel like something from a sci-fi movie. We were in a purpose built building. I dread to think how much it cost, which was a waste of money in the long term because in about 3-4 years, desktops will be making an appearance and the mainframe will be a thing of the past.

This post will show you how to create a simple Azure DevOps pipeline that can use the Azure CLI command within a Microsoft hosted agents on Azure DevOps.

So, Twitter is currently a problem.

This document will outline how to use an Amazon Web Services (AWS) CodePipeline to push a static html website from a code repository to an S3 bucket.

So, you end up with a big list, that has a lot of entries, and you want to split them in to smaller lists.

Azure DevOps has a funny kind of virtualization. When you run your pipelines, the jobs can be on different hosts. This creates a head-scratching moment for people like me who have been working on linux bare-metal for quite a while and thinking that variables are just inherited.

We went for a walk around Selborne, the home of Gilbert White, who some claim was the first English Naturalist.
