Tynt, the Copy/Paste Jerks [Daring Fireball]
"Over the last few months I’ve noticed an annoying trend on various web sites, generally major newspaper and magazine sites, but also certain weblogs. What happens is that when you select text from these web pages, the site uses JavaScript to report what you’ve copied to an analytics server and append an attribution URL to the text."If you're getting this annoying "Read more:..." appended to text you copy from sites like TechCrunch and the New Yorker, read the article for instructions on how to disable it.

"No Dashes Or Spaces" Hall of Shame
Publicly shaming websites that stupidly forbid dashes or spaces in credit-card numbers. (Don't they know how to use regexes?!)December 26 2009
narwhal - a general purpose javascript platform
"Narwhal is a cross-platform, multi-interpreter, general purpose JavaScript platform. It aims to provide a solid foundation for building JavaScript applications, primarily outside the web browser. Narwhal includes a package manager, module system, and standard library for multiple JavaScript interpreters. Currently Narwhal’s Rhino support is the most complete, but other engines are available too."December 02 2009
A Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs
\b(([\w-]+://?|www[.])[^\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^[:punct:]\s]|/))) A common programming problem: identify the URLs in an arbitrary string of text, where by “arbitrary” let’s agree we mean something unstructured such as an email message or a tweet.September 24 2009
jimray - More technical details about Google Chrome Frame
"I am completely smitten with Google Chrome Frame. I don’t think it’s an overstatement to call it one of the more interesting developments in the web landscape to come about in some time, because it finally provides a real solution to the horror that is Internet Explorer. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s an audacious start. If nothing else, it should give Microsoft a rather swift kick in the ass."July 15 2009
Fixing HTML 5 Storage [Chris Anderson]
"The NoSQL movement has raised a flag about possible inclusion of SQL in the HTML 5 standard. Many of these people are fans of simpler key/value APIs. I'm guilty of getting up on stage with a white-on-black slide that says 'No SQL in HTML 5.'July 04 2009
The P2P Web (part one)

iTWire Mobile - Linux breaks through one percent web share
“While Windows still accounts for almost 88 percent of web use as measured by Net Applications, it is still on a steady downward trend. In April 2008, Windows' share was 91.58 percent. By April 2009, that had fallen to 87.80 percent. Most of that loss has been Mac OS X's gain - its share has risen from 7.38 to 9.73 percent over the same period [...] “Internet Explorer's progressive slide continues: Microsoft's browser is down to 66.10 percent from 73.01 percent a year ago. Half of that loss has been taken up by Firefox (up from 19.03 to 22.48 percent), with Safari also benefiting (up from 6.31 to 8.21 percent).”April 13 2009
SaveIE6: Help us save the best browser around
“IE6 has been the victim of false and misleading accusations all over the web, such as complaints about its compatibility with web standards. This is simply the confused ramblings of a vocal minority. After all, how can IE6 be violating standards when it has essentially BEEN the standard for years? The SaveIE6 campaign is all about showing the world the benefits of using the web browser IE6. There are currently too many browsers with too many unnecessary features. They are hard to use and render web sites badly and inconsistently. Contrast this with IE6’s proven technology and well-documented behavior.”April 09 2009
Twitter on Scala

New CSS Sticky Footer - 2009
“See that footer, way down there? It's stuck to the bottom of the page even when thin on content. Otherwise it would be floating halfway up the page. This sticky footer solution is working in all major browsers, including Google Chrome!. It works with floated 2-column layouts and we don't get overlap in resized browser windows unlike older solutions you find when you Google sticky footer. And you don't need an empty push div.”January 24 2009

“ActiveRecord.js makes it easy to begin working with databases in JavaScript on the client or server, with Google Gears & Chrome, Aptana Jaxer, Adobe AIR or any platform supporting the W3C HTML5 SQL Specification (currently Webkit and iPhone).”January 12 2009
Geeks Bearing Gifts by Ted Nelson
New self-published book by hypertext guru Ted Nelson; a history of the computer revolution. Given how brilliant-yet-eccentric Nelson is (not to mention bitter at how the Web bastardized his ideas), this could be either very good or embarrassingly bad... [$20]December 10 2008
