Here are some additions to my .bash_profile for making life easier. I especially like that completion now ignores case. Makes navigating the file system so much faster. Give them a spin.
[cc lang=”bash”]export HISTCONTROL=erasedups
export HISTSIZE=10000
shopt -s histappend
set completion-ignore-case on [/cc]
Arduino, a good way for kids to learn how to program
My twelve year old son want’s to learn how to program. My first idea was to teach him Ruby or Python, but I decided to go with Arduino. It’s C-based so that’s a good start I think. Were currently planning a couple of projects but so far he’s managed to get some LED’s blinking. A good start.
