PreReview, Japanese And Nim

The last random link post for quite some time, so enjoy:

  • DNS Stuff – All the DNS and pinging tools you’ll need in a single interface.
  • Programming Fonts – Fonts designed especially to make programming easier. Can’t say I’ve tried them but they look pretty good.
  • Eclipse Plugins – All the plugins you’ll ever need for the Eclipse environment.
  • Symbol Signs – A selection of common symbols to be used as you see fit. Lots of potential for web design in there.
  • Super Mario War – A very fun game multiplayer game, based on Super Mario Bros 3. Can’t wait for the networked version.
  • Shocking Validator Error – Very distressing news for anyone who has followed the validator.
  • Easy Snapshots With Rsync – A very interesting tutorial for making backups with the network friendly rsync tool.
  • Japanese For The Western Brain – The basics of Japanese form for those more accustomed to English.
  • Elements Of Style – The more tricky parts of English form for those who are not accustomed to it.
  • Multilingual Applications in PHP – A solid enough guide to building unicode applications in PHP.
  • PreReview – Reviews of films before the author has seen them (based on trailers). Very funny in places.
  • Web Forms 2.0 – An effort to bring sane processing to the world of forms on the internet. Could be very handy, but the Javascript area is a real no.
  • Stat Analysis: The Game – A Theme Park style interface to web stats. A good idea, but I wonder who would use it? Any real server admin isn’t going to go near it, and not many other people need web stats.
  • Bush Game – Control Hulk Hogan, Mr. T and others on a quest to stop Bush. Really quite fun once you’re past the tediously long introduction.
  • Bypass Internet Censorship – It’s possible to bypass blacklisted websites using the Akamai network. Sure someone will find this useful.
  • Catching Web Standards – A mildly amusing tale of why web standards are promoted.
  • Nim Games In Java – Write a game like 21 in Java. Who needs drinking buddies now?
  • GZip Hassles – Sometimes GZip can be a troublesome technology (but I still use it for most things on this site).
  • CodeKata – Exercises in coding. Learn how to be a stronger programmer.
  • Priceclash – A reasonable price comparision service. Not too good for music though, unless you have very mainstream tastes.
  • Kung Fu Mixer – A flash mixer to create your very own kung fu montage.

That’s the lot.
