CSS Learning and Python and Pinax installation

Hello all,

I'm back again to show and talk about what I am going to do over the summer in my Independent Studies 499 class for the UH Dorm Energy Competition. Yes I am still working on it, but I am going to be in a different part of the project. So... no more Joomla!

However, this is not the only class that I am taking, which I wish I was so I don't have to stress... I am taking English 200 which should not be much of a problem and I am also taking Japanese 102 which I don't remember much because I took Japanese about 2 years ago SO..... remembering everything is the challenge. Ganbarimasu!!!!!

I will not bore you with Japanese and English because that is not where the cool technological stuff is. haha. So what is Pinax, Python, CSS!!!

First off I am now working with a new person: George Lee. He is the leader and main project manager for the UH Dorm Energy Competition Pinax Website. I am working under him to create CSS to brighten up the website and make it look good. What he is doing is the structure of the website.

So... so far I have been trying to learn CSS and install the Pinax website. The CSS for the website so far looks like this. I will be creating more of these in the future. I will also be using JQuery which will allow others to easily choose a type of theme/CSS for the website. Installation so far of the website has given me trouble. The trouble so far I have found is the execution of x64 and x86 executables. I downloaded Python 2.6 (x64) and it runs perfectly. Then I need the Python Imaging Library which only has x86 and is the one that gives me problems. It may sound dumb in how I did not see something as easy as that but the error I saw is: Cannot find Python 2.6 in registry. But by using regedit, I found that Python 2.6 is there!!! And by looking around for a long time I found this post. It will download the correct PIL for 64 bit machines and run perfectly.

The next wall I have run into now is the installation of Pinax. I now have the error ValueError: [u'path'] and 0.7.2 failed with error code 1.

The other bad thing I have run into is that I forgot to meet with my group yesterday!!! It completely slipped my mind. I think it was the Monday holiday. So I hope my professor is not too mad and I want to get this Pinax running so I can get on to working on the project.
