CAD Drawing of plans for #chickencam Prototype

I’ve been meaning to get started with Arduino http://www.arduino.cc/ . As you will have read, I went to the fabulous Oggcamp last weekend.

The Ubuntu Banshee Thing

Sometimes it takes a few days consideration before you can reach a considered opinion on an issue. So it has been with me on Canonical’s move to secure some of the funding coming from the online music sales resulting from Banshee distribution.
