I just got accepted for the Media Temple Django beta for the grid server. I began learning Django about 8 months ago but quickly became frustrated since it was difficult and expensive to find a reliable and decent Django web host, forcing me to put my Django projects on hold. Media Temple’s plan is for new and existing grid server customers to add-on an inexpensive container in which they can house there production Django applications. Media Temple had proven their container technology in the MySQL and Ruby on Rails containers. They really do have a great engineering team at (mt).My plan during the beta test is to port over an existing PHP application that I worked on over the summer, to Django. The application deals with cataloguing certain videos. It has been quite some time since I have used Django so it may take a few weeks to get a somewhat working version.As I learn more about the Django container I will create some tutorials to share. It will probably still be in beta for the next few months. No pricing information has been released yet.

This banner from SOS Mata Atlântica seems to be a view from Google Earth unless you start zooming out.“We are sorry, but only 7% of the Atlantic Forest is left in Brazil.”SOS Mata Atlântica is the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest conservation foundation, Mata Atlântica is the name of the eastcoast of Brazil and is one of the world’s most critical regions as we speak about deforesting.The destroying of Atlantic Mata is responsible for the disappearing of almost all the fauna and the flora, contributes for the heating of the atmosphere, the lack of water in the cities and with the increase of the levels pollution.The banner was on the shortlist at the Cannes Lions 2007.
