My first Python Program

So, I just finished going through Swaroop's wonderful guide. The last chapter presents the student with a basic problem to create a program. I just finished it (during a rather boring class) and I figured I would upload it.

Sorry but the upload site I found is really shitty. If anyone can point me to a better free hosting site I would be eternally grateful.

Python

So, I've started messing around with python recently and I found this to be a really good intro the the language.

More news as the story develops.

Ubuntu on tap

This has got to be one of the most interesting ideas. It is remarkably simple, and really wouldn't be half as cool if it weren't for the little hand drawn sign.

FOSC - Free Open Source Cola

Over at Everything Else I found this interesting little post about Open Cola. The company has gone out of business and their URL is now owned by overstock.com's cheap bedding section. Luckily the formula is available to all here. I think I am going to whip up a batch and see how it tastes.

Sauerbraten

People tend to be most intrigued by the fact that Linux is free. In our consumer economic world giving away quality products that other people are selling doesn't make any sense. I have been incredibly happy with all of the FOSS that swarms around Linux. One of the happiest surprises though was when I discovered that there were open source first person shooters. I was further surprised to discover that these games don't look like ass.

I have become completely obsessed with map building in Sauerbraten/Cube 2. Before this I had never attempted to create a map and I still have not succeeded in making a complete one but I have been tremendously enjoying working with the Sauerbraten editor.
