+It's the end of our Django tutorial round-up and as such I thought we'd have a look at the new work-in-progress [Django book][1]. Set to be released in print form later this year by Apress, the book is currently available online right now.

The Django book website (built in Django of course) has been releasing two chapters a week for the last couple of months, currently there are 18 chapters available with more to be announced.

One of the coolest things about the "beta" of the book is the AJAX inline comments that people can leave for the authors. Be sure to click on the little comment bubbles where fellow Django users have expounded and clarified points covered in the main text. [Also, rumor has it that the scripts behind that comment system will be available at some point.]

And finally because I didn't have time to cover as much as I wanted to this week here's a random link list of helpful Django tutorials:

*	Example models demonstrating [various parts of the model syntax][2].

*	The Django community is big on open source, and there's an [extensive code repository][5] available.
[5]: http://code.djangoproject.com/ "Django Code repository"
*	Sample Project for [integrating Flickr][3] into your Django app.

+Today's Mac software nugget is a kernel extension named [Double Command][1]. Originally intended as a way for Powerbook users to remap the Enter key as a second Command key, Double Command evolved over time to become a full keyboard remapping tool.

One of the common complaints from "switchers" is that Mac keyboards swap the position of the alt and command keys from what Windows users are familar with (they also name them differently, instead of Alt and Windows, Mac calls "Alt" "Option" and the "Windows" key becomes "Apple/Command").

If you'd like to get your familiar Windows key mapping back or if you'd like to use a Windows keyboard with your Mac, Double Command is the ticket.

Double Command installs as a Preference Pane and allows you to remap keys and save the settings on a user or system-wide basis.

Once you have the Double Command Preference Pane installed you can remap keys according to the rules you see in the screenshot below. Personally I just remap Shift-Backspace as a forward delete key, a functionality I got used to because BBEdit allows you to remap it within the application.

If you happen to be one of those people with an [aversion to the Caps Lock key][3] you can map it to an extra Control key.

If you're feeling funky you can even hack Double Command and remap additional keys. As a poster in the [Double Command forum points out][2], the replacement of keys is handled by a file called Substitute.cpp, and all the key code definitions are in a file named MBHIDHack.h. You'll need to look up the key codes on your own and I can't vouch for the success of this method since I've never tried it.

Double Command is free and open source under v2 of the GPL.

+Is Safari coming to windows? There have been rumors floating around for a while that Apple might be porting its Cocoa language to the Windows platform which would allow WebKit, the engine behind Safari, to run natively in Windows. There's even some [fake screenshots][2] of what Safari on Windows might look like.

Now it seems that the Mozilla Foundation thinks a Windows Safari port is a possibility. Buried in yesterday's tentative Firefox 3 [wiki roadmap][1] document is this line: "WebKit may be ported to Windows."

With the announcement of the iPhone the possibility of a Window's WebKit port does seem like it would make sense. After all, it was the popularity of the iPod that brought iTunes to Windows. 

A similar argument could be made that Apple is going to need to port aspects of Cocoa to get iPhone to work with Windows. Whether or not that would include WebKit is debatable, but given the iPhone's reliance on widgets, WebKit seems like a good place to start.

Some people think Apple would be better off not porting its software to Windows and keeping the "Mac experience" unique to their own platform, but as Apple becomes less a computer manufacturer and more a device manufacturer it might make more sense to strive for interoperability.

However, the future seems to pointing toward openness and platform agnosticism, not platform dependancies. As one of the more popular topics in Wired's [call for tech trends][3] reads: "It's more important to capture mind-share by spreading your vision far and wide than it is to hold onto it while you try to outdo rivals."

Will Apple embrace this trend and bring more software to the Windows platform?

+If you live in a major metropolitan area and you have a wireless router chances are someone at some point has leeched your signal. If that bothers you, you could encrypt the signal, you could block unknown MAC addresses, or you could just mess with people's heads.

Pete Stevens was faced with these choices and opted for number three. Using a bit of networking know-how he split his signal into two networks, one trusted and one untrusted. He then messed with various aspects of the untrusted network including rerouting all traffic to [Kittenwar][2] and, my personal favorite, [the upside down internet][1].

Basically the upside down internet involves using iptables to run all untrusted traffic through a proxy server. The proxy server then downloads all the images from a page, inverts them and serves them out of its local webserver.

The results look like the screenshot below from Pete's site. He has the code available if you'd like to do something similar.

[Thanks to the NoEnd List for bring this to my attention.]
