Today is the day I started devel­op­ing what right now is called TLW, which stands for the Lagom model.

Loosely based upon the Swedish model, and “Lagom”, which means “Enough is as good as a feast”, this is an attempt to make it easier to show your grat­i­tude towards the musi­cians (and later movie makers and game cre­ators) who we all love. It’s all about con­tribut­ing in order to sup­port fur­ther creations.

Today means that I will work from home every Wednes­day, Thurs­day and Friday during a lim­ited time.
Tech­ni­cally speak­ing, I will build TLW using the Django frame­work (for order), together with a sprin­kle of jQuery (for magic mat­ters, that is). As my web hosts, I’ve chosen to work with Web­fac­tion which offer good and reli­able sup­port for Django.

In order to setup a tem­po­rary office, I’ve bought a key­board and a mouse.
This is how it looked yesterday:

And this is how it looks today:

Todays work­load con­sisted mostly of set­ting up a proper devel­op­ment envi­ron­ment, such as installing django, post­gresql and django_​openidconsumer and writ­ing a proper busi­ness plan. Tomor­row I will focus more on pure development.

And for all of you who cares: as my OS I use Ubuntu 8.10, Geany as my editor and I run Ubuntu with compiz on normal, just to make up for my now, slow machine (1st gen Dell XPS M1330).
