I’ve lost some links over the long weekend with and without power.  Here’s what I’ve gathered this morning:

  • Linux on the WRT54G 0.2: put the penguin on your access point.
  • El Reg: G4 iBook? (via #mobitopia)
  • Rawdog, my current RSS aggregator or choice, has been updated to version 1.3.
  • Dealnews: An intel gigabit PCI card for $33.  Not bad at all.
  • Via OSNews, informIT covers installing and using GCC under Linux.  There are examples of compiling ASM, Objective C, Java, and others with GCC.
  • Noble Ape Simulation “creates a random island environment and simulates the ape inhabitants of the island’s cognitive processes.”
  • Reuters/Washington Post: “Galileo Probe Ends in Deliberate Dive”
  • CNN covers Swen, the latest email worm.  I’ve had a few in the last couple of days.  Symantec has more information.
  • The 2004 Nissan Quest is a sweet minivan.  3.5 litre V6, agressive styling (for a minivan), sunroofs galore, dual-screen display in the back (for $1900).  Prices range from $24k base to $38k tricked  out.
  • PyBackend 0.1 is “a relational database backed object development framework written
    in python and released under GNU Library General Public License.”
  • Knoppix STD is based on Knoppix with a focus on security tools.
