The Giftag team that Thomas works with at Best Buy was asked by Google to talk about their experience re-platforming giftag.com for Google App Engine. Curt, Jerry and Thomas really show their enthusiasm for the platform. They recognize the constraints and limitations but see them more as rules to follow rather than barriers.
If you are curious about the t-shirt Thomas is wearing, it’s the most recent The Skullcranes attire.

I am pleased to announce the 0.1 release of Gaegene, a collection of general purpose models, utilities, and mix-in classes to help develop Google App Engine web apps. It was created while developing Giftag for Best Buy.
The 0.1 release contains two modular apps to help simplify two common design patterns, counters and slugs. Future releases will also help with images, pagination, and tagging.
The project’s main repository and wiki, as well as a test/example webapp are hosted on bitbucket.org.

When I was in college, I used to look at the kids who took the compiler theory classes and loved to work in assembler and think to myself, “Thank goodness you like that stuff. Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with C.”
Now I realize that I’m starting to look at C programmers the same way. “Thank goodness you like that stuff. Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with Python.”
I guess I’m just a “top of the stack” kind of guy. Shoulders of giants and all that.

Although you wouldn’t know it by looking, I just updated the blog to WordPress 2.6. Not a big deal, no big changes (other than the link to my personal DJ Edna install in the navbar).
Now, what else can I do to procrastinate from going back to writing the djedna.com business plan?
