A map-content management system prototype

Published by yiyang on November 23, 2006 under Django, Google Maps, Python

An idea cames to my mind while I was finding out direction to one of the Calgary public library branch: a map-content management system which let user input the address and other associated information ,and then it will display the location and other information in map “view”.

So Here are some screenshots for the map-content management system I built by Django and Google MAP.

djmusic20.tekverse.com : A music portal powered by Python and Django

Published by yiyang on November 6, 2006 under Django, Python

Recently I have been building a music portal website djmusic20.tekverse.com. It based on several web services: audioscrobbler, wikipedia FUTEF api, YouTube, and Technorati . I used Django to build it. This site is still very fragile. The unicode issue has to be solved and other bugs have to be cleaned. Also, it’s quite ugly right now. I wish I could find a web designer who can prettify it and give it a slick layout. Maybe I should spend some times dig into Gimp and try to tweak the CSS myself…Anyway, at least it works now, feel free to type in your band or artist’s name and see what you can find :)
