iamcal.com Since May 2000

a couple of great articles on the issues involved with gslb. if anyone has any idea how akamai's freeflow/edgesuite claims to provide dc failover in around a minute i'd live to know - dns trickery or route convergence?

the carson workshops web 2.0 summit looks awesome. i don't think i'll be able to go, but would love to.

perenial favorite visitorville have just released a 3d version. most excellent

hatter's awesome site is actually, you know, awesome

higher-order javascript is a nice digression from mjd's higher-order perl [via aaron]

this is a pretty interesting google presentation. still watching it, so not sure how much it gives away.

summer fun chthulhu. as joyce says, brainsucking, and beachy!

pie are square? two pie are. and three pie are cube!

secret santa lives again! time to pony up some cash and spread the love.

from a php disucssion at work: "If you're willing to continually do the heavy lifting of ensuring that your version of Smalltalk96 on Rails stays concurrent with the latest patches". omg, how awesome would that be?

iconlover is a neat little window icon editor.

the corporate identity catalogue is just too cool

phil posted a really interesting visualization of corporate logo colors to flickr

this guy has written some really nice looking osx software [via messina]

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.

a paper about intercal. very nice

doom on an ipod. doom on an ipod. doom. on. an. ipod. don't you see? [via matts]

it's been doing the rounds for a few days, but is still fun - web 2.0 validator. the best part is that it uses delicious to get it's rules. very web 2.0

i'm trying out google analytics on iamcal for a few days to see what the dashboard looks like. looks fairly snazzy.

omg. this is the best map visualization of public transport in the us i've ever seen. beautiful. via the cameron factor

dug up from the depths of the Internet by the iamcal collective: joel's dating slides. i wish i'd though of that

ryan and eran did this great tv interview from last night's launch party. remember, users are losers.

ietab is utter utter genius. it allows you to use IE in certain tabs within firefox, and easily switch between the two. TOO COOL.

messina found just curious, a nice anonymous question/answer app.

somebody's made a flickr theme for adium.

escher in lego

eric's been digging up a couple of really neat http upload related tools lately - two ajax progress meters for php and this neat multi-file upload ui.

i was reminded of this photo the other day when jones came by the office. utter genius. it does sound like something i'd say

aaron points out the Acme::DRM module. read the method descriptions carefully - brilliant.

from the parrot mailing list regarding the stripping of .t file attachments: "This was changed on perl5-porters a few weeks ago, and since then I don't recall seeming a marked increase in troff spam". genius

flock hasve released their (fairly agressive) roadmap

noting down these two books for later - only really availabale in the UK.

the moz team are talking about tags. it all sounds familiar

i am caltrain

new to the awesome comics list - Dr McNinja

salt pointed out onlife, a freeware pseudoclone of devonthink. it's on the border line between awesome and frighteding. i'm not sure i want to know how much time i spend in notepad. osx only, though

a nice link from the lul maps pages is this collection of maps including a couple of accurate line maps. niice.

some mapping stuff from matt jones - a list of london underground map resources (including a couple from me) and a map of the uk's motorways visualised in harry beck style. the latter would make a nice poster. time to break out the tabloid color laser at work i suspect.

saft looks like a nice set of safari extensions. why hadn't i seen that before?

found by eric and pretty cool - a php extension to allow you to track file upload progress. very very nice.

does anyone have experience with spreadshirt? i wonder if their product is a bit crappy.
