Kaizen and Juice 2.0 - Juice Analytics
We built the new site using Python and Django.
I really like the Juice Analytics blog. These guys know their stuff when it comes to business analytics and data information display. They know all the big names, all the new tools, and they’ve got their own tips on top of that which makes it a great read. I really like their new site layout, and find it interesting they went with Python and Django. Most of my new stuff these days is Rails, but I have respect for anyone that makes a conscious decision about what they’ll use. And today, there’s a lot of power in light languages combined with flexible frameworks. Rock on, Juice.
I’ve been using Firefox for a long time. Last night I decided to give Camino a spin. I’m using a nightly build of what will become the 1.5 stable release later this month. This thing sings. It’s fast, feels lean and light, and it stores my passwords in Apple’s Keychain. Lovely.
There’s no way I can give up Firefox for development — Firebug is just too cool. I may, however, use Camino for normal “work” where I’m not trying to tweak the CSS, layout, or whatever of something I’m actually building. This dichotomy could perhaps become too burdensome; though I think QuickSilver will surely see to most of that concern. I could discover that I insanely miss the occasional GreaseMonkey thing, or I really miss…something. We’ll see. For now, I’m happy to have a zippy browser again.
