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.
