I’m very happy my son has come to stay with us for the weekend for Mother’s Day!! He bought me Ferrero Rocher chocolates and a voucher to Target! Shopping and chocolate hmmmm nice 🙂 I’m glad he could come and visit as he’s working now and doesn’t get many chances I don’t care about the presents I just want to spend time with him.
My daughter gave me seeds for the garden!! and is taking me out for lunch. I cherish the time we get to spend together it is very precious.
We’ve been creating great Tuxracer courses!! and will be uploading them to Tuxracer websites soon. If I do eventually get around to making my own website again I’ll probably put them there too. If you haven’t done it before it is easy and a great way for kids to learn. Good motivation for them too. We had a ball. I’ve taught my daughter and a small computing class too.
If you don’t have Tuxracer you can get it here. There’s information here for getting your 3d graphics card working properly under Linux. I used their instructions and info from Opengl.org too.
Another good website is Tuxracer Belly Rub this is probably where I’ll upload our courses.
After the Linux In Education MiniConf at linux.conf.au this wiki was set up.
If you have anything to do with open source software and education please visit the wiki. There are a number of ways to be involved and also to let others know what you’re doing or what you’re involved with.
Monday and Tuesday this week my daughter and I attended the Connecting Up conference put on by CommunIT. I had put in a submission and was accepted to speak. I think it went very well. There were good responses to my presentation which was about Developing A Training Program Using F.O.S.S. (free and open source software). I’ll have some photos to post here soon.
