As Maker Faire is fast approaching, I happen to be in the making spirit. Actually, that isn’t the reason why I decided to try out DIY book binding, but no matter. The fact of the matter is that propaganda sometimes takes on long forms, and sometimes getting people to read things on the internet is a pain.
Surprisingly enough, doing the binding yourself isn’t hard: time consuming, perhaps, but not difficult (and even the time aspect is mostly because I had no idea what I was really doing).

Upon finding out about Advanced Linux Programming through one of my social streams, I slotted it into the “to-read” queue and went off on my merry way. Once I got my Kobo Touch, though, I bumped up the priority on ALP because, well, it’s available as an ebook (pdf) (which I put together into one PDF with pdfsam). Plus, I’m taking OS (operating systems) this semester, which is apparently very difficult and all sorts of crazy, so dipping my toe into the C world wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Oh my. Last weekly post.
Decided that the reprap would have to wait until I got myself across the country. Yup, no print in California before the end of the summer, very sad. Finished up my internship. I'll post about it soon, but suffice it to say that I had loads of fun and got myself a fair bit of experience. Finished K&R. I learned stuff about ANSI C I hadn't seen before, and saw some actual good C getting slung around (sans error checking, which is arguably not good C at all).
