FLOSS Weekly is really on fire! The last episode of the podcast has a really interesting interview with Greg Stein, previous chairman of the Apache Software Foundation, co-founder of the …
Eric Clapton is all thumbs after all:
Stevie Ray Vaughan, not as good as you thought:
This video is from our ExoSocial event at Nanshan Ski Village just outside Beijing today. It shows what the few people that went to the top were up to (most people stayed on the green slopes). Fun to see programmers, PMs, and sysadms basking in the snow.
This was my first edit using the new iMovie. It’s a very rough cut 
On occasion of the second world-wide Django sprint we got together 12 people to sprint at Exoweb’s office yesterday.
The good:
It was great to see new Djangoistas, and it made me think there might even be enough interest for a Django user group in Beijing. There’s already a Python User Group in Beijing.

Merlin Mann has a good interview with Jonathan where he discusses what the process was like.
His unique background makes for some unique songs, very geeky songs, like code monkey and lately Still Alive, the…
In his article Jacky explained how to easily drill holes through to ports on machines behind a firewall. What I normally want is to have ssh access to machines behind firewalls, allowing me to do scp, and easily ssh in without a stupid stop-over on the firewall machine.
I came across this solution that does exactly that. After the super-simple set-up I’m able to do:
% ssh rexobox
% rcp rexobox:some-file .
Richard noticed that Feedburner has been blocked in China. This is terrible news as a lot of blogs and podcasts are using feedburner! No wonder half my podcasts suddenly stopped working. Let me know if you find a work-around (besides using Tor for everything).
