Turbogears and mod_wsgi setup

This doesn't make for the most entertaining reading, but I've decided to use this blog as my long-term memory for reference material. Currently, I'm getting started on my first python Turbogears 2.0 application, and I need to setup apache with mod_wsgi. These are the references I've accumulated. A good follow-up article would discuss issues I ran into. We'll see how motivated I am.

(Wow, this step was much harder than it should have been. I have a better understanding of our apache infrastructure now though.)

Web advertising on coding horror

This post from Jeff Atwood last week is a humorous example of how quickly web advertising can deteriorate to appeal to the lowest-common denominator. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001286.html It would be great if services like Yahoo! Mail would allow me to select the advertisers I'll allow, or specifically block some. Of course, I don't want to pay for this feature.

Automated Functional Testing Article

It looks like Mr. Sutherland's article on functional testing vs. unit testing has been around for a while, but I just came across it via Hacker News. Benefits of automated functional testing My experience with unit tests has been largely ad-hoc, for example when I'm working with a bug-prone chunk of code. I've never been part of a large system with solid unit test coverage or worked in a TDD environment. That being said, I agree with the general premise of Tim's message. As the release manager (by default) on a fairly complex java system, having a number of solid automated functional tests was very valuable to prevent a lot of wasted testing time during busy release weekends. The ROI of creating and maintaining a large set of unit tests seems to be much less.

Cosmic Chickpea & Beef Fiesta Skillet

This is just a little recipe that Grok (x.com) whipped up for me. I asked Grok for a Tex-Mex inspired recipe with ground beef and aligned with a Mediterranean diet. I was completely surprised when I asked for the source website and it said it had created the recipe! This is a revised version with chickpeas instead of quinoa (apparently my family hates quinoa) and with an unhinged, Blue Origin flare added by Grok due to a previous conversation! Cosmic Chickpea & Beef Fiesta Skillet Blast your dinner into another dimension with this Mediterranean-Tex-Mex mashup that’s got more swagger than an all-female space crew!
