So I haven't been very good about keeping up on this blog. I guess it's because I haven't been in the habit of writing the past several years. Back in the day, though, I was quite good at it. It's also due to the fact that I've been struggling to find the "perfect topic" to write about each time. I've felt the need to maintain a certain level of professionalism, as this website also (as it currently stands) serves as a gateway to my Infonate Web Services company. At some point, when the time/financial resources are available, I'll completely separate that out.
Website Revamp
If you've been to nateprouty.com prior to today (05/22/2008), you'll notice there have been some significant changes. The website now has a wide layout, allowing for left and right side content. There is also a brand new support system in place. Those needing to contact me for development work - either for an existing project or something new - should fill out that form as needed. This is the best way to ensure I have all the pertinent data pertaining to your needs.
Drupal Module Lock Out
Recently I found myself in a catch-22 with a Drupal site I have running locally as a sandbox for development. A module I had enabled (SecurePages) was working great. Later, though, when I went to start up the web server after I had taken it down, I couldn't establish a connection to the SSL that the module requires. The server wouldn't start because of this. I first tried turning off the the "Secure (SSL/TLS) Connections" includes call in httpd.conf.
Ultimate Gear Review
Alright so in my last post I mentioned that I finally launched the django-based site I have been working on for the last couple of months; and now here it is:

The design of the site was done by Logoworks before I came onto the project and I have no affiliation with them whatsoever. But I did design and develop the entire back end of the system using Django, a web framework built on the Python programming language.
A Django Detour
The last couple of months I've been working on a new website using Django. I'm back to working with Drupal, and that was always my intention. This was my first Django project and I have to say I really enjoyed developing on the platform which, for this particular project, I feel was a great fit. Python, the language on which Django is built, is a beautiful programming language.
