cronwtf is pretty awesome [via asc]
Sep 26th: I've been meaning to link to this for a while: Deploying at GitHub explains the develop/stage/deploy cycle at github, which can rougly be described as "Like Flickr, but with personal dev environments and using Git". It's light on technical details, but says a lot of the right things.
Sep 24th: The silver searcher is basically ack, rewritten in C to be crazy fast. If you're regularly using grep to search a codebase, this is probably a much better idea.
Jul 31st: Perhaps next time I'm writing a presentation, I'll give reveal.js a try. Some of the examples looks pretty good.

world time buddy is an excellent timezone tool [via swillison]
i can never find the dnslint tool that i really liked, but the opendns cache tool is a bit useful
schiller pointed to a very detailed profiler for IE6+ that can trace execution between javascript and native code and profile it. very data rich
a couple of interesting alternatives to phpMyAdmin, both simpler: sqlbuddy looks like a really well done minimalist effort, while phpMiniAdmin like like PMA from 10 years ago.
oauth-proxy is a neat solution to the trickery involved with debugging oauth apis
audiotool is an amazing piece of work - reason redone in flash. very very slick. seems to be the work of andre michelle, whose demo work is also excellent
aviary is very very well done. the demo videos are pretty well put together. barrier to doing something slick on the web has gone up a lot lately.
warehouse looks pretty good, but it requires both ruby on rails (easy-ish to install) and the ruby-svn bindings (which are basically a bitch). why do the harder languages to get up and running on the web (ruby and python) require the bindings while the easier languages (php and perl) just shell out and so work easily? gah. currently using websvn in php which does a reasonable job and is trivial to set up.
the sysinternals page at microsoft is full of useful utilities for various windows things
diskview is a neat windows app that visualizes folder usage. helped me find the 8GB of useless test video files hanging around
domai.nr is awesome - great work!
the 280 slides editor is pretty fucking awesome. still, not sure how well it'd cope with my 150 MB image-based presentations
the PHP_Debug bar is kinda neat. very ugly, but packed with useful info
charles is a pretty nice looking http debugging proxy
just went to the y js debugging class, so some links for you. venkman debugger for ff. fiddler debugging proxy for ie (and ff/win). instant source ie source introspection. visual studio express has a neat ie script debugger.
aaron dug up a link to sim-daltonism for osx. it's based on colorlab which i'd seen some time ago (years?) but is still fairly useful. i need to take the time to dig in the source and find out whether they're using a matrix, fixed data set or some formulae.
