It’s time for Total Django Immersion

As part of my effort to better focus on Django, I hereby announce the beginning of my Total Django Immersion (TDI). During TDI I shall…

• Listen to each new TWiD as it comes out.
• During the "Tracking Trunk" part of TWiD, choose one or two of the more interesting commits, use Django Trac to examine their diffs and try to understand what’s going on.
• Review all previous TWiD show notes.
• Subscribe to the Django-Users mailing list.
• When reviewing mailing list updates, pick one of the more interesting messages and dig deeply into the topic or problem discussed in that message.
• Just generally be more ambitious about diving into Django’s source code to see how things work.

Of course the time that I need to spend to do this will be taken from other parts of my day. I’m therefore going to abandon my RSS reading lists (except feeds of Django-related content) for a month or so. That’s one thing I think I can cut out without much suffering. TV would be another, as would the reduction of weekend laziness. We’ll see how it goes.
