Writing django applications

So I’m starting my coffee application. I’ve got loads of notes in my new moleskine, and for the first time tonight, I think I’ve managed to wrap my head around a lot of it. Such as, “Oh, I don’t need to have separate tables of things that are going to have address1, address2, city, state, country, phone, etc. I just need basic places with place types tied to them.” That would allow me to have a place that is more than one type of place, e.g. a business that is a coffee roaster and a retail coffee house. Why did it take me so long to figure that out? So, as I continue to polish up this blog, which currently looks horrible, and learn more about writing up applications, I think I’m starting to “get it.” — Only now I feel like utilizing Nathan’s basic apps.

I guess we’ll see. I sure could use the nice shortcut, given I’ve got quite a few items to build in, and the profiles would also help immensely.
