No progress on the programming front

Slackware 10.2 has been released. I downloaded the disk1 through torrent and currently am downloading the 2nd.
In my last post I had thought finally on concentrating on one topic of interest rather than flirting with multiple topics and zeroed in on Python. There is no progress after that.
Trying to find the ever evasive time. Although I get some time(2-3 hours daily) I have to utilise the same in household activities which are of utmost importance. Also those activities cannot be skipped permanently. Remaining time is spent with my kid who is just 2 years old.
Will try my level best to progress on this.
I am still writing this on Win Xp through Firefox 1.0.6 with the Noia theme and listening to Music on Winamp. Oh!! to be open source and use Linux.

I had an opportunity to use the laptop for a week in my office. It is a pretty old laptop but ran very well. Dell Lattitude C500 (800mhz,256mb RAM etc). I transferred images from my Nokia 3200 to the laptop through the infrared port and I was amazed at how fast it worked.
Dream of owning my own laptop running free os. It is a dream a laptops are very expensive in India than in any other country.
I observed that the top 10 distros listed of distrowatch based on the number of hits per day remain the same only changing positions and Ubuntu is the top distro overtaking Mandriva for a long time. The 10 distros are
Ubuntu,Mandriva,Suse,Debian,Slackware,Damn Small,Fedora,Koppix, Gentoo and Mepis

Links I frequent as of today
slashdot - really gives some great comments and news
del.icio.us
distrowatch
ubuntu forums -more recently

I have also subscribed to Ubuntu/Fedora/ Mumbai lug and Pune Lug in my Gmail for the past 6 months and sometimes there are interesting discussions aand also sometimes a question by me registers more than 25 replies.

Finally for a link to post on my blog Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu has clarified many aspects of Ubuntu and yes Breezy Badger will be released by 15th October.
