“In the history of the world, is there one thing you can think of that has been hand-made, and on such a large scale as software, that was as complex?”

@dracos Quite possible. But it’s so hard to work out where. So many extra things to install. Anyway, thanks for sympathy :)
@dracos It’s so tricksy I’d be very wary of using it in a publicly shared project unless it was really, really beneficial. Such a hurdle.
@dracos Yeah. I’m sure it’s great when it works. But I’ve spent days trying to make it work (now and a few months ago).
Mostly swearing quietly at GeoDjango. That’ll teach me to over-engineer personal projects purely out of curiosity. Must stamp out curiosity.
@paulpod Wow. Feel free to pop over to BRIG if you want some company!
