09:18 schestowitz; <p>PDAs especially early models were much more limited than smartphones. Their features were more akin to what we call dumbphones today, except without any kind of WiFi or cellular connectivity. They usually only had a handful of apps, such as a calendar, watch/timer, calculator, and notes. Later PDAs would include some connectivity options and the ability to send emails, but this mini PC
09:18 schestowitz; is more like the first generation of PDAs like the Psion Organizer from the 80s.</p>

09:24 schestowitz; <p>The modern Web is crap, because its unusable if you value your sanity. Mr. Garrett claims hes a Open Source developer, but at the same time uses platforms that dont even allow you to read his blog without proprietary software (JavaScript programs are usually proprietary software), images (bandwidth hog), and other nasties.</p>
09:24 schestowitz; <p>This highlights one important difference between Open Source and Free Software people.</p>

09:26 schestowitz; <p>The CrowPi L is a Raspberry Pi-powered laptop built to educate, engage and entertain young minds and usher them into the world of programming and electronics. It incorporates fun activities and interactive lessons to teach kids how to code. The kit includes lots of tutorials to try and a wide range of projects that would appeal to a variety of different interests. From lessons on how to design and program
09:26 schestowitz; games, to hands-on projects that explain electronic concepts and how circuitry works, theres a lot for kids to learn and enjoy.</p>

09:26 schestowitz; <blockquote>
09:26 schestowitz; <p>Microsoft has made a change to the Windows Store rules prohibiting the sale of Free and Open Source Software unless the programs author has the policy of billing everyone who receives a copy of the software outside the store.</p>
09:26 schestowitz; <p>The Windows Store already makes it impossible to comply with Copyleft Free Software licenses, such as the GPL.</p>
09:26 schestowitz; <p>The GPL and many copyleft licenses require that the user is guaranteed to be able to run as many copies as they care to for whatever reason they want to use the program, and to make more copies to share, and to have access to the source code to modify, run, and share with others on the same, or perhaps at their option, later terms of the same license.</p>

09:28 schestowitz; <p>Recently I've been working with simple/trivial scripting languages, and I guess I finally reached a point where I thought "Lisp? Why not". One of the reasons for recent experimentation was thinking about the kind of minimalism that makes implementing a language less work - being able to actually use the language to write itself.</p>
