iamcal.com Since May 2000

i put these tools online ages ago. just logging the link incase i forget where it is in future.

oregano looks like a nice opensource xml socket server for flash multiuser stuff. pointed out to me by leonard

A complete spectrum emulator, in pure perl. that's a serious beast [via 2lmc]

there have been some complaints about my slightly code oriented return to weblogging, so:

the iamcal network relaunches with links to 68 sites.

crappy dialup opens it's doors to gullible customers.

london bloggers gets it's domain back (and passes the 1000 mark, almost at 1100).

Digital Web Magazine relaunches with a cal-built cms.

some new code things:

SHA1 (Secure Hashing Algorithm) written in IMC

New version of lib_filter

XML::Parser::Lite::Tree (perhaps self explanatory)

MT3 plugin: Audioscrobbler

MT3 plugin: Tags

Forum software in Ruby

nice article supporting table based layouts. unfortunately brings out the css-morons with great comments like "makes code uneditable". yeah, right. every page on the web before two years ago is uneditable. uh huh. and complex css hacks are somehow better than 100% valid XHMTML. tell me more oh genius. i'm still adamant that the client side is a stupid place to seperate style and content from the developer's pov anyway. in an article i'm writing for dw i'll talk about the four layered abstratcion - presentation, markup, code, data. sexy :)

omg. 8 bit d&d. makes me pine for a tabletop rpg.

i managed to totally miss it, but...

iamcal.com is four years old.

that means we should probably all go out and get drunk. who's with me?

Bush in completely retarded shocker. See also: here and here. [via 2lmc]

theyrule is pretty cool, but lacks a nice way to surf from people to companies (they have the other direction working well)
