My Djangocon US talk is next Tuesday!

For those who are not aware. I will be giving a talk at Djangocon US 2024 as an online talk regarding my journey working on DonationStore, getting everything running on Django 5. The Talk is called Upgrading EOL Django: A Journey from 1 to 5 and it will be on Tuesday, September 24th, at 12:50PM. This is my first talk at a conference ever, and I am excited. 

 Since Elaztek Studios acquired DonationStore in 2023, I have been working on upgrading three Django applications from to Django 5. Two of those Applications were written on Django 1. 

A developers retreat: Jellyfin: First Impressions

Around 2 weeks ago I ordered a DVD set for the USA Channel series Suits after watching a lot of it on Peacock (after seeing a lot of YouTube shorts of it). However after auditing my bank transactions and setting up a budget I wanted to get rid of a lot of my streaming services. This started with canceling my Hulu bundle and moving to the 7.99$ Ad Tier and removing any other streaming service I wasn't using.

Finally! My own website. But what is this? Drupal?

Since attending PyCon 2022, I saw many different people, and speakers have their own blog where they have talked about what projects they have worked on in the last year. As I got more familiar and met more people in the Python scene the question that always kept coming up was "Do you have a blog or somewhere that you talked about this more in depth that I can look at later?" or "Is there somewhere that I can keep an eye on that isn't Twitter?"
