Boston! June 4th, 2009

So I’ve finally mostly settled in to my new apartment in Chelmsford. So far, I think the area is fairly decent. The apartment is pretty good, and a lot of people I know are actually in the area for both summer and fall. I’m still in the process of getting a bit more furniture so that I can actually sit on something other than the floor and so my desktop isnt lying on the ground.

I haven’t actually been to Boston yet, but I’m going tomorrow. As a bonus, three of my friends and I are going to a Peruvian restaurant so they can finally get a taste of what Peruvian food really is. The place is called Rincon Limeno which first of all is a fairly Peruvian name, and also the menu looks fairly good. They even have Ocopa, which I have never seen at any of the Peruvian restaurants where I live. I definitely plan on ordering some for everyone.

As a side note, I’ve finally installed Django on my machine along with Apache server, PostgreSQL, and FastCGI. I’ve created the example blog in chapter two of my roommate’s “Python Web Development With Django” book, and I must say I’m pleased with the framework so far. My next plan is to move away from using Python’s built in server/database solution and use Apache and PostgreSQL along with FastCGI. If I can successfully move the example blog to those technologies, I should be good to go for following the rest of the examples in the book. Wish me luck.
