Linus Torvalds Blog

Linus Torvalds now has a blog. Check it out. You might learn something. It only has a few posts. But what he writes about is really good.

In a post Linus writes how he wrote a tool to limit his kids' computer usage. You can find the project here:

It's very interesting to see how a project evolves in open-source . I especially learned a few things from this. One being how to write c for python. Two, how easy it is to use gtk. Three, gtk library doesn't make pyCrust crash, unlike wx. yippie. This is pretty sweet. Definitely a great read. Thanks -A
