This stuff from Buglabs looks really cool.

The One Laptop Per Child project will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 program for a little while. We all know we want one to play with but haven’t found a good excuse yet. So propose to your management to use them as build monitors, they might even be tax-deductible.

I’m just hoping we can find a way to get hold of them in the UK too.

I just bumped into this service from Blogger. It shows the pictures that are being uploaded in realtime. I don’t know why but it’s addictive.

My wife is currently in Japan where her GSM phone doesn’t work. We’ve just had a chat using Skype. I don’t know if it’s the best internet voice service, but it certainly works fine for us. I know I’m a late adopter on many things (I remember colleagues using Next machines to talk to California, oh, 12 years ago), but this one is a very nice repackaging of the technology. Anyway, how good does it have to be for free?

As reported by recondite, Peter Deutsch is porting Python to run on VisualWorks Smalltalk

This should be good.
