This fine Saturday I'm finally putting a bullet in the head of the old system which has run Crosscut.com and switching it out for a shiny, new, Django based news engine, Yesler. Spinning up an instance on the cloud and pouring data across the net through various filters, SQL clumps, and secure channels is not quite the same as driving with Baron to deliver the gold master disk to the dup house, but it is a sweet moment.
Not that it can't go horribly wrong and crash in public, embarrassing ways...
