We use it to mean practising how we handle bad things, such as unexpected server failures, which seems to me a reasonable appropriation of the term.

Thanks for the write-up - interesting read. Out of interest, how do you catch and block all POST requests when the site's in read-only mode without duplicating code? Not sure if you use CBVs at Lanyrd - if so, do you use a common mixin? If

What's wrong with PIL on Ubuntu? If you're running into needing to repoint JPEG_ROOT/ZLIB_ROOT - I've started avoiding that by symlinking where PIL expects things to be to where they actually are). Works a charm, and avoids using --system-s
