This is a large links post today, due to the lack of time to post it over the last few weeks (and some minor PHP and permissions problems).
- Bowman – An excellent flash game, with very satisfying hit noises and blood.
- SpotCode – Using your mobile phone’s camera as a pointer for your computer. Will it replace the mouse? Doubt it.

- Writing efficient PHP code – Some stuff even I never knew, like string concatenation runs faster when using single quotes.
- Fight Club: The Game – The very idea sickens me.
- Ticked Off Links – Checkboxes on visited links. Very clever effect.
- Google Software Principles – A reasonable set of guidelines from the upcoming giant.
- O’Reilly openbooks – The tech book company give away old editions. Very forward thinking. Kudos.
- Mr T Vs. Everything – I bet he won all of them too. He’s just that tough.
- Musicology Strategy – Prince gives his new album away at his concerts. Very forward thinking. Kudos.
- Object Oriented Improvements in PHP 5 – If you’re a Java programmer, most of this will be second nature.
- Backslider – An interesting history browsing idea, but not sure how it’d fair with a multiple tabs and windows.
- What is RAID? – A nice overview of the various forms of RAID.
- DTD mapper – Creates a hierarchy to browser from a given DTD. Nice.
- PNG Sun demo – An interesting little lighting demo for Mozilla browsers.
- Scribe – Mozilla plug-in that saves and restores text areas upon CTRL+S. An absolute gem.
- Onion Skin Shadows – A good tutorial on getting rounded edges and other effects using CSS.
- PHP Coding Standard – Not sure I’d agree with all of this, but not a bad start.
- Detente – The syndication formats all have specific purposes. Use the right one for the right goal.
- Perl Operator Periodic Table – Unbelievable number of operators.
- I Chased You For 12 Years… – Tragic but hilarious tale.
- Cows With Guns – Very funny flash cartoon, particularly the ending.
End. And I’ve still got enough links left for a regular size post.
