Here will go the show notes for each episode. For those of you who are fans of the Going Linux podcast, I personally have found that the way Larry, the host, arranges the notes so you know what starts when is wonderful so, in the spirit of borrowing good ideas, I will also try to arrange my show notes in a similar way. The latest show notes will be here:

Command of the Week: wget -m www.example.com and Tab completing (Brian)
Program of the Week: droopy.py and I Wanna Be the Guy (Brian)
Our Challenge to You (Get It Here): http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/
***Download the droopy python script as well as the shell script so you can customize your own droopy page here. To run the shell script, type either (without the quotes) "./filename.sh" or "bash filename.sh".
For the shell script in there, it is droopycustom.sh so the command
would be bash droopycustom.sh. Try this one first. To edit, either left
click and open with a text editor or, directing to the file, type, (if
in Gnome) "gedit droopycustom.sh". I hope this helps. Also, open port
8000 of the router you are sending both from and to if you have one or
this won't work. Sorry I didn't explain this better in the show. Thanks
for listening and talk to you later. -A.J.***
