Caverns, Version Control And Deltas

I was going to post another few film reviews today (the backlog is stopping me from writing anything worthwhile). Instead, I present another selection of random links featuring DRM, caverns and more:

• GBA Unix – Unix on the Gameboy Advance. File under “Some people have too much time”.
• DRM Problems – Tim Bray on the trouble with DRM.
• sIFR2.0b – The next generation of flash image replacement gets updated.
• Gecko Coloured Scrollbars – A buggy An interesting implementation of coloured scrollbars for mozilla based browsers. Nice idea, but too zapped to work if only there was a way for it to work on-hover.
• Secret Paris Cinema – For the one person who hasn’t heard about this cool discovery yet. Secrets and lies under Paris.
• Emacs Jabber – Although I haven’t tried it yet, this is another reason for those who are strong in Emacs to never leave it for another program.
• FireFox Keystrokes – Some useful keystrokes in the world’s best browser. Joy.
• Creative Commons Search – Excellent idea! Search for what you need amongst creative commons licensed projects.
• XKeymacs – Use Emacs bindings in other programs. I tend to use them for saving anyway.
• XPath.js – An XPath processor in javascript.
• RSS Delta Encoding – Use the recent idea for delta encoding RSS feeds in WordPress. Great idea, few oversights in the implementation. Keep an eye on it though.
• Gmailomatic – Give away your GMail invites or sign-up to recieve one. I’ve passed a dozen on so far.
• Springfield Map – Obsessive map of Springfield, that seems to ignore the episodic inconsistencies. File under “Some people have too much time”.
• Politics And The English Language – Fascinating article by George Orwell on the decline of English. Expect more on this article soon.
• Gallina – GMail blogging system. People keep finding new ways of using that gig of storage.
• Successful Lisp – A slightly poor book on Lisp. I’ll read more of it when I can be bothered.
• TargetAlert – Fantastic FireFox extension to add icons after PDF files and other strange links.
• Version Control With Subversion – Everything you need to know about using subversion, which you should be doing.
• Rome syndication framework – Making Atom and RSS feeds easy to use in Java. Nice.
• Bandwidth Consumption In RSS – Just lie in your usage of 304. It’s not like you’re shooting someone.
• Word Recognition – Astoundingly good article on word recognition from Microsoft. Long, involving but very worth it.
• Chocolypse Now – And finally, what would happen if Apocalypse Now was melded with Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory? Find out here.

Phew. More film reviews then some real content coming soon.
