Arduino - Open Source Hardware Platform for Hobbists, Designers and Inventors

Hi All!

 

The next .NET group meeting (May 1st) will host an Arduino presentation, including theory, practice, and some pretty nifty hardware/software projects. This is an opportunity for anyone who haven't been to the previous session to get a glimpse and see what its all about! Meeting in Tikal Offices, 10:00 (earlier if you are a member of the .NET group)

 

During the session we'll be

* Examining some robots

* Meeting exotic musical instruments

* Flying over the Gobi desert with just a Wii controller

and more...

 

See here and here for more information

 

Hope to see everyone there!

googsystray - google services notifier

https://sourceforge.net/projects/googsystray/

 

Since we're using wave, it's good to know about this python tool that will add a system tray applet that notifies you about new waves. It also notifies about other google services. Since it is in python it can be used in linux and also has an exe for windows.

Browsers for kids

Somewhat off-topic but still relevant for those of us with kids. Here is a brief description of one such browser that impressed me (http://www.kidzui.com/):

 

 

"KidZui is a revolutionary new kids' browser that makes surfing the Internet fun and easy for kids from ages 3-12. It has over 600,000 kid-friendly websites, photos, and videos. Content is reviewed by teachers and parents so your kids can surf independently. It is a great way to stay in tune with your kids by providing you with weekly e-mails and online reports keeping you up-to-date on your kids'"

Programmers: an evolutionary approach.

This great article was originally posted in Russian.
I never seen it in English before
Translated by me and Google Translate.

 

The basis of the new society will become programmers. That is, once the atomic explosion of cockroaches and rats will survive, so after the postmodernism, "Death of adults", societal crisis, and the final disappearance of reality,  survive programmers. They will be the dominant sound form of life on Earth, because they have all the signs of ensure survival.
