Current Enthusiasms

I want to develop an Python Debugger Activity which will help me, and hopefully others, develop and perfect other Activities. I got interested in this direction I started trying to learn why a Video Editing application would run on the XO from the command line, but wouldn't come up as an Activity from the desktop. I learned that ipython, PDB, and the Komodo ActiveState tools were available, but not really very convenient.

I started teaching myself Python soon after receiving a G1G1 XO late in 2007. It's been a long uphill battle. Living in New York City, I thought it would be possible to hook up with other programming enthusiasts. I contacted, and then somehow became the organizer of a NYCXO New York City XO user's group. But I was unable to bring enough enthusiasm and purpose to the group and it folded after about a year. There were many beginners who wanted help learning Linux, or meshing. But there were no other programmers to share the learning with.
