This week's dispatch from the world of spam, spam and spam 'n eggs

• Frank Willison, O'Reilly's editor in chief, muses about the open source communities in his column, and wears a subversive t-shirt when he talks to TechNetCast http://www.oreilly.com/frank/ http://www.technetcast.com/tnc_program.html?program_id=38
• Mike Olson gives a one-page (well, one HTML page!) introduction to CORBA, ORBs, etc. in LinuxWorld http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-09/lw-09-corba_1.html
• Remco Gerlich reveals how to use Python's underappreciated line-completion tool automatically (see DN522511625)
• Jeffrey Kunce gives some sample code to interface to Novell's Groupwise mailboxes (see DN522571735)
• In a continuing heroic effort to answer as many questions as the bots, Robert Kern points out the best resources for folks wishing to learn how to program using Python (see DN523189453)
• The regularly expressed problem of finding strings is match()'ed by, naturally speaking, Tim Peters (see DN523934915)
• Once again, Greg Ewing discreetly throws a grenade into the jello bowl. This time, it's an implementation of a perennial favorite topic from the functional subspace, list comprehensions (see DN523672423)
