Chickens, Bribery And Budgets

It’s been a while since the last random links post so this is a big one:

• XHTML and QuickTime - A standards compliant way of embedding QuickTime movies in web pages.
• Princeton 3D Model Search - Make a sketch (either 3D or 2D) and this will try to find a similar 3D model. Results are hit and miss.
• KKrieger - A first person shooter in 96k. The mind boggles. It also looks pretty damn good.
• String Matching Algorithms - All the background and algorithms you’ll ever need for string matching, demonstrated by some Java applets.
• Imagine You’re A Chicken - Dunstan has lost it.
• Game Desktops - Desktop wallpapers based on classic games.
• Installing Linux On A Dead Badger - For the hardcore.
• Movie Budget Records - Most of the losses shown here were down to piss poor marketing (how many of them have you heard of, let alone seen?).
• Kevin Bacon - To make Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon easier.
• IE Mime type mangling - One more workaround for the worlds biggest browser. Sigh.
• Bill Gates Is Not The Richest - Yes, he’s been replaced as the richest business man in the world. Click through for the shock replacement.
• Groovy - A strange mix of Java and Python.
• PHP Style Guide - Some of this looks absolutely hideous. Really ugly code.
• Xbox emulator - Don’t expect too much just yet.
• Bribing Restaurants - Excellent tale of a man bribing his way into some exclusive establishments.
• Learn The Shell - It’s your way to an easier life, really.
• Process Forking in PHP - Interesting…
• Liam Lynch - A brief look at the life of alt.rock personified.
• Tontie - An insane whack a mole style game. Causes stress. Great!

That’s all for another week or two.
