MozCC, Presentations And C

This is going to be a sizeable, but slightly dated link post, as I’ve been sitting on some of this stuff for 2 weeks. Enjoy:

  • Slice City – Play Sim City within The Sims. Look at the screenshots and it’ll make much more sense.
  • Googledorks – Some google searches that you can use to get at sensitive information. People really are this stupid.
  • MozCC – A mozilla extension that allows sites a Creative Commons license to be parsed in the browser. Not a bad idea.
  • Poignant Guide To Ruby – Funny, yet informative, guide to Ruby. The best language guide I’ve seen (there are cartoon foxes everywhere).
  • Pronounciation of SQL – It all makes sense now.
  • Elephant Vs. Bird – Flash game where you need to avoid being squashed.
  • Doxygen – A tool for autogenerating manuals for code. Works in C, Java, PHP and more. Via Derek.
  • Seven Steps To Better Presentations – I’m going to need this fairly soon. The comments also have some fairly good suggestions.
  • Atom API and NokiaThe mobile phone company looks like backing Atom. Nice.
  • Logo Trends – Interesting study of logo trends at the moment. Some of the spirals are very nice.
  • Compilers Are Easy – Making writing compilers sound easy. I have my doubts.
  • Design patterns and PHP – Interesting article that suffers from terrible readability.
  • Why C Is Not My Favourite Programming Language – A little harsh, but bang on for the most part. The lack of strings or booleans in C is a constant annoyance.
  • Redesigning Comment Forms – I have always implemented the basics of this, and if I ever get round to adding the ability to remember users I’ll do the rest.
  • Character Encodings – Everything anyone ever wanted to know about character encoding issues, and more.
  • dotemacs – A wonderful resource for those new to the worlds of emacs.
  • Bush Vs. Palpatine – Which of these quotes was said by George Bush and which by Emperor Palpatine. Hint: the worst ones are all Bush.

That’s all for another day.
