I'm running VirtualBox 4.2.4 but I would think, since it creates the VM when you `vagrant up`, that it wouldn't matter what version of VB you were running. So that's odd.

The Vagrant version I have is 1.0.5, just for completeness sake.

I just downloaded the zip file again to check, and there's nothing in there (at least that I can find) that mentions a version of VirtualBox. You're also the first person to mention a problem like this (one other person had a problem after running the VM with getting packages from Google).

You could try downgrading, or, since you're on a sane OS, just running everything sans VM. You'll need to install Git and PostgreSQL yourself, though.

Let me know if anything changes, please. I'll ask around and let you know if I find anything out.

Thanks, and sorry for your problems.

When the official download comes out in a day or two, it'll have chapter markers in it for QuickTime, so you'll be able to jump around as needed.

The plan is to do 1-2 per month, ideally about 1 every 2 weeks. I have to do them in my (and my editor's) off time, so some months that may slip.

You're right. We had a staggered layout, a la Pinterest, until last week. Now that we've evened up everything, I'm sure we could remove Masonry. It's currently still using it, though.

---There's no demo because it behaves exactly like the Masonry example for infinite scrolling and Pinterest.---

Screw it, I added a link to the example. It's on tindie.com.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this comment.

Django is a solid framework with tons of real-world example of that very fact. Rails is a fine framework, too, but it's in a language I don't enjoy and is, to me, no where near as elegant as Django (usually) is.

I'm also not sure I see the point is commenting on a post about a feature of a framework with, essentially "swap your entire stack over to my favorite language". Maybe you have some way to backup your statement?

Yeah, I'm (the author) a giant fan of CBVs in Django. Sadly, the form wizard views, although class-based and fairly sprawling, don't seem to be very friendly to experimentation. It seems to be a pretty locked-in workflow that's horribly undocumented. Hence the post.
