moshthepitton Django 1.9 Released

Sorry about your troubles.

However, you can use Django AllAuth (https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth) to achieve an email login system by tweaking its settings.

Specifically:

ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATION_METHOD = "email"

ACCOUNT_USERNAME_REQUIRED = False (if you do not want to use the username field)

More here: http://django-allauth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/configuratio...

Cheers!

moshthepitton Time To Get Past Facebook And Invent A New Future

That sounds like it would be fantastic!

moshthepitton Request for Startups: Kill Hollywood.

I live in Kenya. The quality of the local stuff we see on TV and in movie theaters is still a long way behind other places. To the point where more than 95% of what we consume (and enjoy) is foreign.

I think if someone could you use what you are suggestion to produce really well written movies/series for markets such as our would be very successful.

It would be: 1. Local 2. Better than most other local stuff.

You could theoretically make a lot of money going to various countries such as Kenya and making quality stuff based on the local culture etc.

You would also be profitable while gaining experience/momentum to later launch into other more developed markets.

Makes sense?

moshthepitton Google's Kenyan ripoff?

There's an interesting twist in this tale.

Have a look at: http://blog.mocality.co.ke/2012/01/13/google-what-were-you-t...

It says: "OMG!!!!! We received a call on the office line (the one listed on Mocality) from India stating that they were offering website services. I think the guy on phone was Deepak or something (it sounded almost like a scam) the guy said he was from Google Kenya blah blah, we refused the offer as we already have a site. Then few days ago I was just searching our page when I stumbled upon our site on .kbo.co.ke site…I mailed them n told them to take it down! aaaaaaaarg!!!!!!"

--- This is one of the small businesses contacted by 'Google'. SO it seems that after they got the call, they later saw their business website put up on kbo.co.ke (which is Google owned).

Doesn't this sound like further proof that this is Google sanctioned?
