EDIT: This post was from when my blog was on a checkout of django trunk pre-django1.0 days

So I just saw Jeff Croft’s link up to the latest django comments refactoring.
I was a little bummed at the fact that

1. I’m eventually going to have to switch my comments application when I do an svn up
2. I’m probably not going to write my own comments application
3. I’m eventually going to have to switch my comments application when I do an svn up

Anyway, I guess its what I deserve for using the latest svn release of django to power my site and developing over 4 plus months.

So, I know I put it on twitter, but I just have to record in some way my excitement to discover that the sampler pack of beans I got from Sweet Maria’s a while ago contains flat berry El Salvador Matalapa Estate coffee. I have half of a pound. So what’s the big deal? I was looking for notes on this coffee, and came across this:

Notes: Here’s the scoop on Bourbon coffees (pronounced Burr-Bone). Bourbon coffee is a classic cultivar, named for the island of Bourbon (now called Reunion) where it was originally cultivated. When we call it classic, we mean not just the fact that it is a lower-yeild, heirloom plant, and that it has a very dense seed that roasts well, but also the cup character…..We had a flat bean lot earlier this season, and with that same coffee the Intelligentsia barista won the US Barista Competition. Clearly, this has more uses than just drip brewing. ….

So – I can happily say I own half a pound of national championship green coffee! That is, until I roast it and enjoy it from my drip brewer…
