  • wp-Hyphenate 1.0 beta • KINGdesk
    ‘Hyphen­ation is finally avail­able for the web.’ I just installed it, and it works very well.
  • Twitter / NumbersStation
  • Simon Pegg on why the undead should never be allowed to run
  • From Silver Lake to Suicide: One Family’s Secret History of the Jonestown Massacre - News - LA Weekly - LA Weekly
  • The Croft
    Mike D.’s new weblog (at least I’m pretty sure it is!) about the Hebrides.
  • Hand-Knitted Luxury Aran Icelandic Jersey ‘Odin’ from Scotweb Kilt & Tartan Store
    Very nice hand-knitted wooly jumpers. Bit pricey, mind you.
  • Clarkson joke sparks complaints
    Looks like funny jokes on the BBC will have to be banned.
  • PyRoom — distraction free writing
    WriteRoom clone. I think I’ll go with this one for the Eee PC.
  • textroom - Google Code
    WriteRoom clone. Has some interesting features, including set target word count, but fiddly to install.
  • The Comics Reporter
    "Garry Trudeau has confirmed… that he has submitted Doonesbury strips for next week that are based on Senator Barack Obama winning the presidential election to be held on Tuesday."

  • WordPress › Blog » The Visual Design of 2.7
    Looking good.
  • Shepard Tones
    "The "sonic barberpole" illusion invented by psychologist Roger Shepard at Bell Labs. The illusion consists of a seemingly endlessly rising or falling set of tones. The trick is done by simultaneously sweeping eight (or so) pure tones (i.e., sine waves) tuned exactly one octave apart. The human ear/brain has a really hard time figuring out which pure tone is the fundamental, so it "slips" periodically, just like an eye watching a barberpole (or looking at an Escher staircase)."
  • Five Things You May not Know About NetNewsWire: NewsGator Widget Blog
    The screenshots of old versions are making me all nostalgic.
  • Griffin Technology: iTalk Sync
    Free audio recorder for iPhone. (It irritates me no end that a separate Mac app is needed to sync files - it'll be the third such app I've installed, when I should be able to mount the iPhone on my desktop and drag files off it.)
  • Does Obama / McCain slash fiction exist?
    Of course it does.
  • Conky - Home
    A Linux utility (equivalent to Geektool on the Mac) that puts info on your desktop - uptime, network activity, email notifications and whatnot. A bit fiddly to configure, but there are squillions of sample config files on the web.
  • Minefield
    An experimental new version of Firefox. I’ve been using it for a couple of days now, and it’s incredibly fast. Stable too, surprisingly, and all my add-ons work fine (thanks to Nightly Tester Tools).
  • hildamagazine.net
    An art magazine.

    Innuendo-laden AskMe thread. Made me LOL.
  • Bare Bones Software | BBEdit 9
    I’ve been avoiding downloading the demo just in case it’s ace (I’m sure it is for coding types, but it’s a fair few quid to drop on something I’d use primarily for writing words).
  • Apple makes Piper Alpha List
    For a second, I thought that the headline was some sort of incredibly tasteless joke.
  • Twitter / FakeSarahPalin
    “Fact: Alaska hasn’t been hit by a hurrycane since I was elected to office.”
  • webdev.stephband.info
    “Parallax turns a selected element into a ‘window’, or viewport, and all its children into absolutely positioned layers that can be seen through the viewport. These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way.” Just have a look at the demo.

  • ARGNet: We Tell Stories: Six Stories, Six Authors, Six Weeks, and then Six to Start
  • Ned Batchelder: Active URLs
    URLs as sentences - nice idea.

    When I did Classics at University, one of our professors would say ‘Fagles is wrong’ at least ten times per lecture.

    After the last completely painless upgrade, I’m superstitiously thinking this one will make my website go on fire.

  • Blue in Green
    New York shop, mostly fancy Japanese denim. They’ve sorted me out with the perfect sweatshirt - great customer service, too.
  • Swiss Apple Store page tips the 802.11n Airport Express - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
    Shame this turned out to be a mistake. (I think the Airport Express is one of the great unsung Apple products.)
  • BBC Podcast OPML
    Complete list of BBC podcasts.
  • The Next Social Network: WordPress - GigaOM
    Social networks inside out, built on weblogs. I’d much prefer something like this made of little pieces than Facebook, MySpace, &c.
  • DiSo Project :: About The DiSo Project
    Distributed social networking project. Kind of hard to tell what they’re up to/what they’ve done so far.
  • Main Page - DiSoWiki

    Wiki for Anonymous protests against Scientology (there was one in Edinburgh last Saturday).
  • Introducing Myself - Submit Response

    INSERT_MAP

    Good, eh?
