yardsalemaps

I'm still trying to figure out if I did the right thing. Is YardSaleMaps.com better than YardSaleMap.com? That's a tough one. I think the plural is better as it gives me a broder realm to work with. But I have to say I really should have done more research.

macs are hot

And when I mean hot I mean my lap is really warm. It's probably 82 in my living room and my lap is around 120F. WTF? I really need to invest in a mac holder. I saw one at a yard sale last week but it was $15. At the time I thought that was a bit much, now I'm thinking I should have gotten it.

Clearing the Development Server Datastore

dev_appserver.py --clear_datastore helloworld/

(This is actually why I started the blog, to keep track of this stuff and to reinforce my memory)

Google app engine DB

I have to say I'm impressed with the DB. Instead of SQL they are calling it: GQL

This is the example I found heartening:

greetings = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Greeting ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10")

It makes sense.  So often I read crap that doesn't.

Macs

This is the first error I ran into:

I enter:
Jasons-son-should-be-Hiro:google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/

and get this error:

Jasons-son-should-be-Hiro:local newuser$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise AppConfigNotFoundError
google.appengine.tools.dev_appserver.AppConfigNotFoundError


This brings me back to my unix days. Obviously I'm not giving it full path names.

This works much better:
/usr/local/google_appengine/dev_appserver.py /Gapps/helloworld/

I took the dive into google apps and I wanted to track my progress and hopefully help others that might have problems.
