Okay, it's decided: I'm rebuilding this site from scratch \o/
Got a job doing some django dev, and this occasion to work on a first real project made me learn an awfull lot already and, more importantly, fall in love again with the framework (Not that I had stopped thinking it was awesome - I just wasn't really doing anything with it because of lazyness, not-in-the-moodness, or whetevrelseness), and this motivated me to build something a bit more serious.
I'm using zinnia as the blog engine, so that part is basically done already. I'm mostly overriding templates and tweaking the css at this point (since I still hate css, this is probably what will consume the most time). I'm also experimenting with some toy apps which i'll probably end up not using, though I'll probably put a few of those on github when they're done. I'll see about that then.
I'm also thinking of getting myself a small server so that I can host this new site and maybe a few others myself. I know next to nothing about server administration, so this will probably delay things a bit more but this will surely be another chance to learn a bunch of stuff, and that's always kewl.
But mostly, I'll set up a sane deployment strategy. I already started usung south to handle database changes (although I haven't done much with it yet, since i'm focusing on the front and right now), and i'll definitely start using Fabric to deploy the live site, so that actually fixing/tweaking/evolving the site should prove easy enough.
So that's it for today. First post on the new site will probably be some kind of post-mortem in which i'll review the stuff i did or used - Zinnia is already proving quite nice.
Also, time will tell if buillding a new site helps with coming up with post conclusions.
