plendil:
Ive been wondering the same thing myself.

for instance, the a 5W-30 would become extremely thin at high temperatures, the kind you find in our environment, leading to poor fuel economy and increased engine wear.

I would assume the 10w or 20w would be more appropriate for our climate.

I assume the manufacturer will know what's best. For my car, 10w30 is recommended for warm climates but 5w20 or 5w30 is recommended for all climates

Nice. Keep them coming

Ajibel: From the look of it, it seems this django thng is bad business.

Not that it is really bad oo. The django developers had their own philosophy of loose coupling i.e the logic (views), database (models) and the templates should be separate (decoupled from one another) not to mention static and media files. That said, they want to encourage code reusability. For instance, instead of writing a forum app from scratch, just import it if someone has created it. That means, you can have a fully flegded web app working without writing much codes.


Documentation not insync with latest releases.

The documentation is always in sync with the latest release, the problem is that the tutorials written by independent authors are not always in sync with the latest version. Some of the best django tutorials are already outdated. Django is in version 1.8, most tuts are in <= 1.4 Buh if u can understand django's official tutorial which I found shallow, u can understand any outdated django tutorial.


Poor design ,requiring needless imports.
Y not ditch it,roll ur own or find somethg a better replacement?

[b]Starting out for the first time is really a painful experience. You'd ask more questions than the number of lines of code you'd write buh when you're done with your first (deployed) django web app, it becomes easy. You know the steps already and wont face much obstacles...

My 2py

I repeat, ATM, you won't find any python framework with extensive documentation as that of django and its always in sync with the latest.

If you are a beginner, don't skip learning python first because Django is just python. Plus, Django has a huge, active and welcoming community so you can easily get unstuck. Just check the mailing list and see the daily activity.

I've seen discussions about flask but I don't gel with the philosophy behind it. For example, it touts itself as a micro framework but it has 2 dependencies. Anyway, that's a discussion for another thread.

obimind: I bought a 1.4kva inverter. 2 pieces of 200ah battery. The product is MPOWER. So far it's been powering my home appliances without any challenge. The challenge I have now is that my area hardly have light from phcn which leaves me with no option than to charge my inverter with my generator. I'm tired of charging my inverter with generator. If I'm to go for solar, what size of solar panel & what size of mppt charge controller will I go for? pls gurus in the house I await ur reply.

chris81964: What is your consumption? I can help you calculate what your needs are if you can tell me what your consumption is. Is your system 12 or 24 Volts? This will limit the size of the panels you get. Give more details and we can advise

...or just go to page 1 of thr thread and see how to make a rough estimate yourself.

Ajibel: The tutorial written by the developers isnt updated again

Are you talking of the __official__ django tutorials from djangoproject.com ?
AFAIK, there are tutorials for every version of django for which there is official documentation including the dev versions

But seriously, there's nothing so ghen ghen about Django. Plus I'm 100% sure you will never find a framework with a better documentation.

Yes. Piracy is a real problem but that's a different discussion. If your software has been pirated then its because you have a high selling software. The base line is if your software isn't worth paying for, nobody will pay for it. If your software is too expensive, nobody will pay for it.

Vonelixir: pc

Just be creative. Since you perceive the problem to be popularity then try the demo model. If your game is that nice, people will pay.

Or you can even make the full game available. Allow gamers play the first few levels or stages or whatever then ask them to pay to unlock the rest of the game to continue. If the game isn't a mumu game, ppl will pay.

It always boils down to: is your game (product) good enough and is it worth the price? The existing market is not a good enough excuse. If the existing one is not good, make your own.

But who says making hardware doesn't involve a lot of intellectual work?

On what platform are you asking about? PC? Mobile? Xbox?

The best way to solve your issue is to first say what exactly you tried and then error tracebacks if available. "Tried many solutions" isn't enough.

That said, you will get more helpful answers from stackoverflow and django-users on google groups very very quickly.

If you are still adamant on getting a solution from here, what exactly is your use case and what have you tried?

guente02: A question to the house.
I stay in Sokoto and the sunshine here is next to none regardless of the season (unless in December when it becomes lenient) with temperatures at a steady 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. I cant affort theses batteries you guys are buying bcoz im still an undergraduate under my mom.
I want to construct a panel myself and the solar cells are en route to my location from Sokoto also is a 1500w pure sine wave power inverter. But i want to know if I can connct it directly from the the panel to inverter from mayb 10am to 5am for my ice block business. The total wattage I'll be consuming will a 100w back in the days Samsung Tv, 200w Haier thermocool Freezer, 2 ceiling fans spinning at top speed and my 32w orton Sat Reciver.
Thanks

Perhaps an electrical engineer can grab this problem by the horn and create something. ..

You need batteries to connect to the inverter. My own inverter explicitly states that

Lol.

But seriously, if your software does something valuable to the customer, the customer will pay as long as there's no cheaper substitute. If the customer can do without it, he will. Developers should build apps to solve a real problem, not build apps to fill up portfolio.

rodgers: Please where did you get the inverter?

konga.com

Looks good. Maybe add more gossip

Nice design. You should have gone for a responsive design though. That aside, you didn't get your css right. For example, load the home page in your mobile browser in portrait.

viazi: @ Richmond
Thanks, the prag is a gel battery, is ok with my Luminous 1.5kva?

I think @richmond will answer "yes"

viazi: @ Richmond,

Thanks for your advice? Are U saying that even with an external SMART BATTERY CHARGER as suggested above, it will still not be okay for me to use the Trojan Batteries with my LUMINOUS Inverter unless I deploy Solar? I do not have money for solar right now and besides I have PHCN Light upto 24 hours in every 3 days. Is the Equalization mandatory if I get all batteries new and connected at once? In the alternative what other batteries do U suggest? I really don't like the Idea of buying Batteries every year and this is the reason I wanted to opt for the Trojan (I.e can last for 10 years with Maintainance). Is it totally impossible to use this batteries with my Luminous?

Kindly enlighten me more.

Thanks again.

If you haven't already gotten the luminous inverter, why not go for Tripp Lite? I bought the APSX series (1000w modified sine wave for 53k). Its got in-built equalizer and 3 stage charger. If you buy the components separately you might end up paying more and then you have the headache of maintaining 2 or 3 separate units instead of 1.

Just my 2 kobo

GideonG: Thank you very much and you all should wait for September 1st by the special grace of God!
It's time already, we've been hustling and working hard for so long, failing numerous times but success has come by his grace.

If you are in the spirit say Aha, Aha

Aha Aha!!!

Actually, I also aim to conquer the world because if the aim is good, you won't be too far from the target

Aha aha!!!

GideonG: I wanna change Africa, I'm not gonna lie. That's my mission. I am the African Dream

Nah....This one is the best because its usually impossible.

olak2k8: thanks for your responses, what if i want to be using the power during the daytime as well, will it have effect on the battery charging?

What batteries need to get charged is electric current. As long as your solar panels can generate enough current for your inverter's charger, then you won't have any problem using your setup during the day and have enough juice in your batteries left to last you for the load you subject them to in the night.

asalimpo: Most developers dont need higher maths.
How much math do web devs, need?
How much math do 99.9% of business software need?
To create a web server,erp system, web browser, accountg,legal,cybercafe ,school ,supermarket,text editor etc software how much math dyu need?
To write nairaland how much math is needed?
How much math is needed for compilers and parsers? Many hav been written without maths just plain old common sense and arithmetcs(primary/high school math).

It is all relatve.
For d most case math-heavy software is developed by major software corporation to make application developers use even less math for their work e.g
compilers, mathlab,maple (for math),autocad (CAD) software, game egines (Unity,Unreal), windowg systems, (Os dependent), sorting (as libraries in language).

olak2k8: from the above calculation, i will like to know if i can use it during the day time and now use battery for that hour at night when there is no sunlight that now use the power stored in the battery or only that hours for the whole day

I don't really understand your question. During the day, your solar panels will charge your batteries and keep them charged. The solar panels do not convert the sunlight directly to AC so it goes into the batteries. When there is sunlight, the batteries will be discharging but charging at the same time. By the time sunlight stops, your batteries will be in discharge only.

Segxzy003: Please how many solar panel will i need to charge four 200ah battery of 12V on 3.5KVA 48V inverter and what is the cost of solar panel (200W and above).

viazi: @George-D and other Gurus ,
I need your Urgent advice on the Best 1.5KVA Inverter to buy and the best batteries to go with them. My Location is Abuja.
Its urgent as I intend to move next week.

The best will probably be the most expensive - Magnum, Xantrex and then Tripp Lite. @abunafiu and @George_D can give their experiences with Sukam.

However, take my word with a pinch of salt.

adewasco2k: Are you young, fresh from school and very creative?

Can you program in any or 2 of the following programming languages: Java, Python, PHP, PASCAL, Javascript and a basic knowledge of databases?

Then send a maximum of your 2-page professional resume to info@accessng.com within the next seven (7) days.

Na wa oo. Young and fresh out of school with 2 page "professional" cv. That's interesting

JUO: are you sure this is not 110v?

No oooo. Haba, 110v. Where I wan tiff that kain money from na.

I just picked up the Tripp Lite inverter from UPS. Unboxing pictures coming up soon

abunafiu: The time is 5:55am.
The batts discharged to 47.0v
Putting of the inverter now to see what's left as soc .....
As u can see from the pix, when I switched off, d batts went up from 47.0 to 47.6...............48.1v.
This is to further establish what Richmond posted few weeks ago about measuring batt soc.if not for d recent hacking of Nairaland that lead to huge data loss, d soc chart would still be there. @richmond74, kindly repost d pix.
As at d time I finished typing this post , its reading 48.2v which corresponds to 45-50% soc which also corresponds to 55 - 50% dod.
Am waiting for those using Trojans before me to vet my results posted.

From your pix, I counted 16 batteries. What are the specs?
