In October, I doubled-down on efforts to write more for both the Pinax Project as well as for Eldarion. Here is a summary of what I wrote.

Cash has now decided he can open doors at will.

I have been blessed beyond measure by my father, Thomas Altman. Many of the lessons learned from his wisdom are only now being fully appreciated as my fatherhood experience is in its infancy.

Six years ago, I created a simple Django app to handle logical deletion of records. Today, I donated this app to Pinax.

Our oldest, Benjamin, finished off his final year of elementary school with a bang, winning the honor of elementary student of the year. But that is not why I am so proud of him.

This year has been an incredible one and I wanted to take some time today to reflect on all that has happened.

So it's been far too long since I have posted anything to this blog. I have been better at times about consistently posting and when I do subsequent posts become easier to write. I have posted a bit over on the Eldarion blog, but even there I haven't gotten into a good rhythm yet.

Yesterday, I blogged about one of our new open source Django apps, django-sendgrid- events. It's a small app, in terms of lines of code and/or complexity, but I think it opens up a ton of potential in things you can do for users of your site.

Earlier today I blogged over on Eldarion's site about how you can easily add Stripe payments to your website with a new app that we have developed and open-sourced under the BSD license.
