Comment on Django, Initial Data & Many To Many Tables by wilma

This is a pretty old posting, but yesterday i found this page, so i want to post my solution to this problem here.

What you actually can do is to insert your SQL INSERT statements for the many-to-many table created by django within a sql file of one of the models defined by you.

I had the same problem, a model called “image” and a model called “profile”, where i used a many-to-many relation to “image” in my “profile” model. I now just appended the “profile_images” sql code to my image.sql code. It works great!

Comment on How To Get Your Google Profile Indexed by Alistair

It has been indexed & it shows up as a normal result in a standard search.

When Google announced those changes, they mentioned that they’d start showing up at the bottom of the search results but highlighted in some manner. When searching for my name, I haven’t been able to trigger that to happen just but I’m sure it’ll start happening in due course as others are seeing it already.

Has it been indexed since writing this post and linking to it ?

Comment on Favikon, Favicon Generator For The Masses by Al

You need to upload the image into the root of your site, so in my case it lives at http://www.lattimore.id.au/favicon.ico.

Your browser will, by default, look for that particular file name when loading a site to use as the favicon.

In the section of the template for your site, you’ll want to add a line like the following (with the values changed of course):

I have been trying to set up a favicon for a while now. I have created several which I believe are the correct format and size but so far I cannot get the little bugger to display.

Where did you upload the icon and did you modify the html of your site to do it the right way (per W3C conventions).

You could try this userscript: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/42498
Very (very) crude but works for most of my dupes.

I would LOVE this feature! I use multiple tracking mechanisms and some come in to my reader and am inundated by duplicate items. If anyone finds a reader which removes duplicates, can u pls let me know?

Comment on Project Euler, Problem #1 by Alistair

Andrew,

There are plenty of different ways to solve the problems and there aren’t extra points for elegant versus brute force solutions.

In your example, a solution like that would work so long as you could remove the duplicate items from the two lists. As an example, the first range statement will include the value 30, which will also be present in the second list. As such, it’ll be summed twice and you’d get an inflated result.

Could you have summed with the range stepping set to 3 & 5 rather than a brute force ‘try all numbers’ approach with singular stepping ?

ie you already know the steps must be in 3s and 5s.

For example:

sum[range(0,1000,3) + range(0,1000,5)]

This gives 266333.

You might also want to try http://www.pythonchallenge.com which is essentially the same sort of site, only it’s geared toward the Python programmer.
