It's hard to like Android. - jerakeen.org
“[Android is] Linux vs Windows/MacOS, all over again. You gain Freedom by using an open platform, making life worse for yourself in a thousand tiny ways, any one of which can easily be dismissed, so they are. But it’s still worse.” Unfortunately, this perfectly mirrors my experiences with Android, too. I'm trying really hard to like my G1, but all it does is make me realize how much better my iPhone is.
Python Projects in Users’ Home Directories with wsgi | Code Spatter
Nice technique for lightweight WSGI apps without needing to touch your Apache conf after the initial setup. I'd like to do something like this for my personal site so that it's easier to deploy quick & dirty apps.

I've done this with svn in the past, but it's a major pain (svn's lack addremove means you've got to do it by hand). This looks like a *much* better way.
Linux.com :: CellWriter: Open source handwriting recognition for Linux

OLPC announces a “Give 1 Get 1” program. That's awesome: I've been hearing rumors of such a program for over a year; good to see it become official.
pam_recent: an add-on to make iptables' recent match more useful
“If the client manages to login, his history is cleared and subsequent new connections are not blocked. Password guessers, however, would not manage to prove their legitimacy… they're all treated as scum unless they can prove to be Good People.”

Useful trick: `aptitude search '~i'`
blog gnist org - Holliday cracking
Really interesting analysis of a cracked Linux box. We're lucky that these script kiddies always seem to make some stupid mistakes (in this case not cleaning up .bash_history); a good cracker probably wouldn't be detected for months.

Pretty nice Java-based sar grapher. The “load data via SSH” option makes this priceless.
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Downloads for Linux x86
I missed it when it happened, but Oracle now offers .debs for download. Schweet.
