The OLPC [One Laptop Per Child] Foundation is starting their annual Give One Get One campaign on November 17th! Last year I donated a laptop and got mine in the mail a few months later. It’s not the fastest computer, but it’s cute and rugged and novel [did I mention hackable?]. One laptop only costs $199, and I’m sure a lot of you out there are self-employed, which means you can benefit from the write off. You get a tax break and a kid gets a computer. Sweet deal.

I’ve been working on an easily skinnable windowing system, and this is what I have so far. I’ve attempted to mimic mac’s theme for Leopard.

The source and documentation are in their usual spots -> My classes. I’ll be updating them pretty regularly. Here’s the source for the project itself -> project source

I just stuck “you know you’re a programmer if” into google to see what popped up, who knows, maybe I’m not a real programmer? Looks as if I meet the standards. I’m going to be compiling a list of my favorites:

You know you’re a programmer…

• when noone understands WTF you’re talking about.
• when you stop coding to look at the clock and realize it’s Saturday.
• if your idea of fun is coding something you don’t get paid for.
• if you have to stay up “just a while longer” to fix ALL the bugs.
• if you have to remember that when people say “or” they mean “exclusive or”.
• if you respond faster to email than voicemail.
• if you use brackets in place of parenthesis [way better, btw].

More to come when I think of them. Feel free to add to this list!
