openinbrowser

A simple extension to add "open in browser" to the silly "open using external application" dialog in Firefox. (I was planning to implement this myself, duh.)

YAML FAQ: Tabs

"Indeed Guido van Rossum of Python has acknowledged that allowing TABs in Python source is a headache for many people and that were he to design Python again, he would forbid them."

Wikipedia Class Action :: Lawsuit [www.wikipediaclassaction.org]

Most moronic of 2005? Very late in the year, a candidate appears on the scene and challenges all the other moronic events of the year. Go on, visit the page; it's too silly to quote here. The fact that their form letter is only available in M$ Void format speaks volumes. And I would imagine that their use of the wikipedia logo is also a license violation.

Some more information about dez

Turns out he is the primary perpetrator of Websearch.COM.AU Notice they claim to have been online for more than 10 years. Here's to hoping they won't be for much longer, if spamming is going to remain an important business tactic. Also note the brilliant spelling on the site. Very prefesiunal.

CSS3 Color Module

Technical spec, includes cross-reference of several standards Down in the body text, you'll find HTML 4 colors, X11 rgb.txt, and HSL, all with good pointers to more information. Turns out the X11 color chart was copied from an MSDN article, which explains why it's sorted alphabetically rather than in any meaningful order. To add insult to injury, the original MSDN article used to have several versions of the table ... but the useful one is now of course a 404. (I don't understand why I'd even be so optimistic as to click on a link in an MSDN article.)

VMTN Discussion Forums: Linux Virtual Terminals and VMware WS5 ...

Linux virtual terminals inside VMware My actual question, which I have puzzled over for a long time, is how do you switch virtual terminals inside vmware? No direct answer here, but maybe some useful things to look for. The answer involves "fixmodmap" but I found no other matches (in spite of what the poster hints about it being a useful search term on the VMware forums). Update: I am told ctrl-alt-space passes through the next keystroke as a corresponding ctrl-alt keystroke.. So ctrl-alt-space F1 is how to press ctrl-alt-F1 inside a vmware client. (Thanks to Tenali.)

Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005 (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

Why not to mess with fonts and links, use gratuitous pop-ups, Flash, or IE-only design, etc I'm generally vaguely skeptical of Nielsen's "Alert Box" columns, but this is very focused and to the point, and based on a survey of his readers. Must read for anyone who has or plans to have a web site.
