Desperate times call for Tux Paint (opensource.com) Opensource.com has an interview with Tux Paint creator Bill Kendrick. Tux Paint is a drawing program targeted at children, but is used by adults, particularly teachers. " I didn't design Tux Paint to be a tool that's only used for teaching art, I designed it to be a tool like a piece of paper and pencil. Some schools use it to create narrated storybook videos. Other schools use it for counting and math. Ironically, these days, after being exposed to things like Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleburg on my son's Leapster Explorer (which, by the way, runs Linux!), I'm beginning to think Tux Paint needs some additional features to help teach concepts about art and color. Or at least a nicely done set of curricula." | | 11:40p |
CyanogenMod 10.1 released, monthly release series begins (The H) The H looks at the CyanogenMod 10.1.0 release. It is the first in six months for the alternative firmware for Android devices. 10.1.0 is the second release based on Android 4.2 ("Jelly Bean"). " With the next few releases, which are planned to arrive monthly (hence their labelling as "M-series"), the developers plan to build on the AOSP Jelly Bean foundations and deliver new features of their own making, such as the new privacy mode that has already been merged into the code base and will be tested in upcoming nightly releases." |
