E-Scribe News : a programmer’s blog

About Me

PBX My name is Paul Bissex, and e-scribe.com is my consulting business. I build web applications using as much open source software as possible. From September to June I teach web design and other important non-photographic professional skills to photographers. In the '90s I wrote technology commentary and reviews for magazines, newspapers, and web publications, including Wired, Salon.com, FamilyPC, the late lamented Web Review, and the Chicago Tribune. Feel free to email me.

Book Project

I'm co-authoring a book, "Python Web Development with Django", with Jeff Forcier and Wesley Chun. It will be published by Prentice Hall in July 2008, but is available for pre-ordering on Amazon now.

Colophon

This site is built on a fresh trunk checkout of Django, running on Python 2.5.1, served by Apache and mod_python. The database is SQLite. The operating system is FreeBSD, on a VPS hosted at Johncompanies.com. Comment-spam protection by Akismet. Vintage topo imagery from the Maptech archive.

iPhone, youPhone, weallPhone

Apple and Cisco have reached an agreement on the disputed "iPhone" trademark, and -- surprise -- Apple gets to keep using it. From the Cisco press release:

Under the agreement, both companies are free to use the "iPhone" trademark on their products throughout the world.

To further differentiate brands, the Apple iPhone will also be known as "the real iPhone", with the Cisco model being referred to as "Oh, I thought you meant the other one."
