This edition of random links will be much terser than usual, because I lost the first draft and don’t have time to redo it. Doh.
- Nexus – A great idea for screen scraping partial content RSS feeds, but the description makes it sound slightly naive.
- Introduction to FOAF – A fairly comprehensive introduction to FOAF, for anyone who doesn’t know what it is.
- Pipes – A good tutorial on command line piping, for computer users of all levels.
- Hot Links – Didn’t pay much attention to it the first time I saw it, but I have rediscovered it as a fantastic link hub.
- Find In Firebird – Always forget the key that does this. A great shortcut.
- 213 Thinks Skippy Can No Longer Do – .. In The US Army. Hilarious.
- Thesaurus Protocol – A protocol for accessing thesauri over HTTP.
- Crowd Simulation Framework – A framework for simulating crowds in Java. Handy for displaying large scale emergent behaviour.
- Optimising Firebird – Seen most of these before, but a useful resource nonetheless.
- Things To Not Test – Political correctness gone mad.
- XML Is Not OO – Sound reasons why XML should not be shoehorned into OO design.
- I Despise You And Your So-Called Taste – Funny and scathing remarks about your favourite band, or album.
That’s all. The coming week will be post-lite, but stay tuned.
