I recently integrated ThePiepers.net with Amazon CloudFront to serve all the media. This has improved the overall site responsiveness and gives my visitors a closer endpoint.
After I setup a simple push method for publishing changes to Amazon S3, I quickly realized that it was extremely inefficient and adds unnecessary charges to my account. Enter Subversion.
I just finished upgrading to Python 2.6.5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The default python build is 2.6.1. I wanted to compile the latest version. This would normally be a non-event, but the pain involved made it worth noting. The DMG file did not install the 64-bit binaries, so I needed to manually compile it.
