The first version of cloudNotes is now available. A project that aims to complement with the best possible way TeacherFinder. Two years of hard work, dedication and endless late night coding, but worth it all the way! A tremendous experience that resulted into a clean design, a novel architecture and a secure cloud-based platform, which is built on top of so many different technologies.
Recently, I was working on facelifting TeacherFinder (TF). Tonight, I uploaded the new version which includes a better look & feel, together with some updated features for the search engine.
The majority of the changes were focused on optimizing the respond time for the requested queries. The searches are now performed a little bit faster, making searching on TF much easier. Finally, the visibility for classified ads was further improved and a number of statistics with regards to the TF visitors became available.
Today, I finished the basic version of a web tool on which i was working the past few months, named QAWeb. This tool is meant to simplify the presentation of QA statistics. I prepared a demo of the tool, I included a detailed howto and I released the source code under the MIT license for anyone that wants to try it. It was based on an older version of django framework by now (1.4) and it used a number of other open source django modules/apps, so it will need some tuning to get it up and running. However there is adequate documentation and detailed steps included for accomplishing that, as long as you are familiar with the basics of django. Source code and documentation, below:

TeacherFinder goes international! The team of TeacherFinder will continue developing additional features, targeting to create the best user experience possible.
From now on, the users of TeacherFinder will be able to submit their own personal profile for one year, at a very low cost. Below, how the profile looks like, when crawled by Google Engine.
