Tech Shorts

I really want one of these. I bought a NSLU2 a few months ago and got it up and running with the Unslung Linux firmware but I haven’t had time to get it fully functional. This little guy looks like even more fun though!
I’m teaching myself Python at the moment and find Dave Kuhlman’s page to be one of the best collections of beginner/novice info… if you already have a background in programming.
I need to read this primer on Distributed Version Control a couple more times to be sure I fully understand it but at first glance it seems to be an extreme version of a developer isolation model. We attempted something like this on a past project and it failed miserably (mostly due to our inability to force timely sharing of changes… developers can be stubborn).
… and finally, the obligatory xkcd reference.
