Igloo building guide, “Building an igloo is easy and fun. And the igloo is a great place to spend the night on a small ‘expedition’ in the mountains. It is much warmer than a tent, and can be built just about anywhere.” As long there is snow, that is.
Puffy and the Crytonauts: What’s New in OpenBSD 4.3, “Federico Biancuzzi interviewed a large group of developers to talk about the new networking tools (snmpd and snmpctl), the new features and scope of relayd (previously known as hoststated), how the configuration of carp was simplified, improvements in wireless drivers, storage limits and speed-ups, SMP support in sparc64, bug fixes and audits for some tricky coding practices, and much more!” Give OpenBSD a try.

Pure is a functional programming language based on term rewriting. It has a modern syntax featuring curried function applications, lexical closures and equational definitions with pattern matching, and thus is somewhat similar to languages of the Haskell and ML variety. But Pure is also a very dynamic and reflective language, and is more like Lisp in this respect. The interpreter has an LLVM backend to do JIT compilation, hence programs run blazingly fast and interfacing to C modules is easy. This guy is reading my mind!
