Setting up Progress

To prepare for some of the projects I have in mind I needed to download some things on to my local Ubuntu machine, pip, django and python-twitter.

I had plans on using python-twitter in Django application.  The idea was to grab a selection of tweets and post them to a page.  After looking at the twitter search api documentation I decided that wasn't the way to go.  I wanted to use JSON and this project was going to be a good opportunity.  So the goal for using Python Twitter has changed and I will not use json for that project which I am looking forward to.  The moral of the story is that I don't have any plans of using the Python Twitter that I just downloaded.

I also installed Git on my machine and created a GitHub account, https://github.com/ronaldsnyder
The documentation from GitHub does a fantastic job of telling you how to quickly get up and running.

Now that the tools are installed where do we go next?  I would like to get started on writing an attractive resume to post on my website but I am wondering what is the best way to do that.  I am thinking that I will just make a template and use javascript.  This will all be done on my local machine and then uploaded when it is finished.  I will be using Git, GitHub and writing about it.
