Python programming e-books
I found a place for python e-books, while searching python references on the internet. But I don’t know about the legality of the books listed here, but i’m sure that some of them are freely distributable. Use at your own risk.

AdBrite added Intermission option
AdBrite offers a new type of advertisement, instead of offering 1,7 and 30-day text-links, advertisers now can choose the “Intermission” option. This options allows you to pay only when someone visits your site. Think it as a “Sponsored Links” but you are only promoting your website (without products and services).
With this option, you will not write or upload an ad. Instead, visitors will automatically be taken to your site. Starting bid for Intermission is $0.01, but it depends on bids made by other advertisers.
IMHO, it’s great for AdBrite to add options for those who only want to place their links on another website. At least it could add diversity to text-links advertisements.
