Can't think of an idea for software to write? Check out Reducing Guilt is the Killer App -- they've really got a point. Getting rid of extraneous guilt makes for great apps. (And by "extraneous" I mean guilt that really shouldn't be there. If you ...
At the library today I browsed through the Python section (QA 76.73 .P98 or so, if you care to know :)) and picked up O'Reilly's Learning Python. Spent the last hour going through the first chapter and a half. Good stuff. It's surprisingly easy to learn, and ...
