Hacked repo to work on mac os x

This commit serves as a record of the hacks necessary to get the repo
to work on phil's mac machine.

As the repo will likely be changed in the future, this commit serves as
a reminder of the changes that needed to be undertaken to get the repo
to work:

(1) don't use unipath for paths
(2) ignore logging stuff

the server was run using
python manage.py runserver --settings=acrosite.settings.local
