Short Stories By Alex Kessinger

I read this post by merlin man, about short stories and it inspired me to write a short story. I thought this might be something I do again in the future. So here is a git hub gist I will use to store short stories.

Inspect Before Opening - 2009-08-24

Our first child took about 9 months to gestate, almost a whole year. During that time, an inordinate amount of time was spent talking about our baby. We still do this, but at the time I was new to the overwhelming obsession. When we finally decided to get the baby out, it took almost 16 hours, well maybe 16 hours but after 4 hours of doing nothing but watching your wife get a baby out you forget about time and just focus on helping her, at the end this thing plopped out, and they wanted me to hold her. I couldn't, just for second I had to wait for just a moment. It still don't know exactly what it was. I was overwhelming emotion

Personal Statement

I see my job as efficiently delivering value to my customers. Most of the time that means working with my team mates to understand our goals and our process. Then iteratively executing a plan and checking in with my team and customers to ensure that we are moving closer to our goals.

voidfiles / static_fallback.py
Created March 24, 2010 04:41
"""
I use this as a pull cache/pseudo-CDN for a production environment. I use this as a fallback static file server, if the file doesn't exist already on the server. If my server doesn't have a file, like an image, I then pull the file from the fallback server, or origin server. This can be my box, or more likely if I am pulling from a 3rd party site, I can cache the file on my servers, instead of having to constantly hit the other site.
I put this in my apache .htaccess file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
This serves the file if it exists else, it falls back on my django fcgi.
I use this because my website http://staytuned.in is hosted on http://www.dreamhost.com
