Tutorials

If you’re like me, you start too many prologues with the phrase “if you’re like me”. Apart from that, you probably own many movies but hate getting up and reaching for the DVDs when you want to watch one. Well, you’re in luck, because I’m about to teach you how to copy them to your computer and compress them using XviD so they take up less space.

I recently bought a Linksys WRT-54GL router and a DSL router/modem so I could have a good network setup for my home computers/server. I must admit that configuring all that is rather hard if you don’t know much about networking, so I decided to write this “Networking essentials” guide so people could have an idea what all these terms mean.

Preliminary fluff

So, you want to learn the Python programming language but can’t find a concise and yet full-featured tutorial. This tutorial will attempt to teach you Python in 10 minutes. It’s probably not so much a tutorial as it is a cross between a tutorial and a cheatsheet, so it will just show you some basic concepts to start you off. Obviously, if you want to really learn a language you need to program in it for a while. I will assume that you are already familiar with programming and will, therefore, skip most of the non-language-specific stuff. The important keywords will be highlighted so you can easily spot them. Also, pay attention because, due to the terseness of this tutorial, some things will be introduced directly in code and only briefly commented on.
