more boring snails news to bore you with boredom

python on snails officially reached version 0.milestone.A last weekend, where i got it to the point that i had blog posting ability. that wrapped up all the use cases i had planned. most of the code was frameworkized and not speicalized for my app, and most of the non-framework code had low complexity. some bells and whistles were absent but nothing that got in the way of creating a blog.

last night i decided to add calendar functionality to the website, and i was able to do so without adding additional code to the framework. what this means is that the code is mature enough to handle new use cases without updates to the core.

this morning, i decided that the calendar should read the data from my published ical calendar instead of the snails database. a couple updates to my pycal library (heh), three lines of code in a controller to read the events from pycal instead of snails, 1 search-and-replace in my view (the DB called it "name" and pycal calls it "summary") and i was done.

i'm somewhat impressed.
