Last Friday, I received a special machine: the famous OLPC XO-2. A really neat machine. I have tested in a crowded wireless network areas, it work well except some occasional slowdown. Even my mother and sister were impressed and pleased to touch it. So far, the feedback is good. Currently, I have updated to the latest firmware and build 385. Unfortunately, the X session won't boot at all. Guess I will wait for the next build to better support the newest firmware which now allow suspend/resume.
My very first online tutorial is an adaption from Chris Design Drawing Hairs article using both Path and Path Editor tools which requires Inkscape 0.47 or newer. Start-up Inkscape application which should open a new blank page and set the document into landscape. Create a path Select the bezier tool or press either Shift+F6 or B on the keyboard. Draw a line to approximately 800px or more. You can also use rectangle tool ( R or F4 as shortcut key) as a thin line illustrated in grey. While the line is selected, convert into path from the menu Path -> Stroke to Path or press Ctrl+Alt+C on the keyboard. For the rectangle, Path -> Object to Path or Ctrl+Shift+C . The result will show grey diamonds on each corner. Create a pattern On the menu, Extensions -> Modify Paths -> Add Nodes . Set the Max Segments Length to 5px. On the menu Extension -> Modify Paths -> Jitter Nodes . Leave the default settings and apply effects.

Is it by volunteering via laptop.org, through Quanta, or is Negroponte blessing developers himself?
