I’ve spent the last several days messing with the GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator on Leopard, and long story short, it doesn’t work very well at all. Numerous hardlocks (on the order of 5 minutes after beginning a long-ish read/write operation).
I managed to get my Ubuntu Hardy Heron box set up with iSCSI, mounted the Thecus with hfsplus, and got my data off that way. I’ll be posting more information on my iSCSI setup under ubuntu, as well as how I’m putting together the MythTV box.
In other news I took the plunge and got the PeepCode unlimited special for Ruby on Rails programming screencasts. I’m actually really liking the screencasts, despite the fact I have a fair amount of rails experience.
Hopefully I can follow some of this up tomorrow.

So i guess it’s Giants/Pats…
I’ve been doing some random coding in Django. Mostly just playing around with it to learn more Python, but comparing it to rails as well. I’ve got to say i’m definitely impressed with Django, but there are still some things missing that I was pretty used to in Rails (the ability to do migrations is one thing, the different templating is another).
I haven’t posted on this thing (hell, even had a site up) in forever, but i’ll probably try to just throw some stuff up here every once in a while now that I’ve got some stable hosting. Right now I’m using Media Temple’s Grid Service. I haven’t really had any problems with it (and I was interested to see that they are adding Django containers. I’ll have to play with it more a little later.
