It's a snake - OggCamp presentation slides and source

These are the slides and the source code from the talk I did at OggCamp 2010. It's all Creative Commons Attribution, Share Alike.

Update 14 May 2010

Thanks to all the people who have given me positive comments about this talk. I was really pleased to hear people say that they had been inspired to solve problems they had with Python, providing some inspiration was my main goal in preparing this talk, not necessarily showing you how to do things.

Dwarf PIC programming utility Wed, 09/09/2009 - 13:33 — nathan

I had a day or two waiting for parts to arrive recently, and started tinkering with PIC programming in Linux. I was really pleased with how easy it was to program a PIC with my PICKit 2 programmer using the available command line tools, but what I wanted was an even easier GUI interface for it. So I wrote one.

Kubuntu 8.10 on the ASUS EeePC 901 Mon, 12/15/2008 - 22:41 — nathan

So, ASUS announced that 2009 would bring an end to the Linux based EeePC variants, and all those versions with screens smaller than 10 inches. Well, I love my 701, and have used it a huge amount in the year that I've had it, but I did want the advantage of a larger screen, a bit more processing power and mainly more disk space. So I've got a 901 (in black of course) and within a few minutes realised how user friendly Ubuntu/Kubuntu are compared with the Xandros installed by default.

Linux Outlaws Thu, 02/28/2008 - 23:02 — nathan

Linux Outlaws, a highly recommended oggcast (like a pod cast but more free) with a "laid back feel". Discussion is usually fairly focused on Linux, Open Source and Free (as in freedom) software.

KDE 4-alpha1 Sun, 09/23/2007 - 12:59 — nathan

I've just got hold of a live version of KDE 4 alpha 1 on a live DVD that came with this months copy of Linux Format. I am writing this review from Konqueror on KDE4, and it seems to mostly be working.
