#ogn47 @adactio on micropub, webmention, and the indie web has got me itching to reinvent my sadly still broken website

Upgraded uWSGI so I can use plugins to switch Python versions. Can't run my site. After endless fiddling with uWSGI config files I find I can't run the site with ./manage run server either so I guess I need to reexamine all the Django settings next.

There are photos on my phone I want to use on my Mac. My cloud-based photos are supposed to be seamlessly synchronised between the two. Wondering if there is an option to turn up the seamlessness or accelerate the instantaneity

I used to have a static-HTML site. Maybe this is the time to throw up my hands and switch to using Jekyl or whatever. Maintaining software is a mug's game these days.

I can install fabric 1.14 globally and it runs with Python 2.7 even though my virtualenv is python3. Hence deployed and discovered another snag: I assumed that uWSGI used the Python version in the virtualenv but noooooo you need to recompile it to use Python3. :sob:

OK the plan doesn't work because Pipenv expects you to use only one Python per application, which is not exactly unreasonable but is inconvenient in this weird case.

Converted my Django site to Python 3 and now I can’t run Fabric to deploy it—my attempts to port to Fabric 2 so far in vain.

Current plan: use Pipenv to manage a separate Python-2 environment for Fabric.

New plan: repaired my virtualenv setup (broken by operating system upgrade) and created a a Python 3 virtualenv.

Now all I need to do to is rebuild the virutalenv on the server to also be Python 3.

Guess it's time to find out what the installation recipe for virtualenvwrapper is this week.

Updated my blog implementation to Python 3 and Django 1.10 so only a half dozen Django versions to go.

Just realised I haven't yet devised a plan for deploying with Pipenv rather than requirements.txt so still some tinkering to do.

I was going to try to finish a blog post but first I need to either reinstall Virtualenvwrapper or alternatively convert from Pip-tools to Pipenv so I can run my dev server

In hoop class this evening I managed to do a couple of things—talon and crucifixion— I've not managed before which great but now I hurt a bit. 😃
