- Sublime Text 3 perfect PHP development set-up – wasil.org
I've switched from a full IDE to Sublime over the last couple of weeks, but I've already had to set it up twice (not a flaw in Sublime – I've changed machines a couple of times at work), and am about to do it for a third time, and every time I wind up looking this page up.

- Ghost Stations of the London Underground
I like the way this has been presented – I'm not sure I've seen this done like this before.
- My response to BBC Watchdog: A Chrome plugin for Just Eat – Pezholio
Proper Good. I don't use Just Eat myself (no special reaosn I just signed up with on of their competitors first), but I love this kind of improvements to service stuff using public data. Mind you the obvious followup (rhetorical) question is "Why weren't Just Eat doing this themselves?"

- Node.js on Dreamhost | respectTheCode
Handy tutorial for getting node.js running on one of my webhosts.
- A Simple Blog with CouchDB, Bogart, and Node.js – How To Node – NodeJS
This is a bundle of technologies that I've been meaning to put a little time into learning for a while now. So I should sit down and implement this somewhere, when I get a little time.
- [this is aaronland] the unbearable finality of pixel space
If this matures a little, I'll be a happy man. Right now, it's a complete pain to get working out of the box, unless you're starting from a position of installing everything from scratch on an Ubuntu box, but if someone turns out a quick version that'll run on a basic PHP/MYSQL/Apache install on my webhost, I'll be a happy man. (Yes, I could spend a day or two making it run myself, but my photos are already well backed-up, ta, so my incentive to do it is limited. I quite want an easy minimalist portfolio site, but not enough to spend days building it.)
- A List of Things That Plugins Don’t Work With
Look seriously, if you're building a website, and thinking "Hey, I know, we'll do this bit with a plugin" – and it doesn't matter which one – Flash, Sliverlight, fuck, even Quicktime – then really stop, and think again. They're broken, and they don't do anything you can't do with modern web-standards based technology.

- Twenty Typefaces of 2008
Not really much to say about this, other than that there are some very nice typefaces in here.
- Rails Worst Practices: 13 Coding Nightmares You Should Avoid
Ostensibly for Rails, but most of these apply to anyone using an MVC framework, and are worth a look.
- Long URL Please | Lengthening short urls so that you don't have to
This is a pet peeve of mine: people who use tinyUrl type services completely needlessly in blog posts and the like. I understand why, say, twitter does it, because of character limits, but it's still shit practice. URLs should clearly indicate the content they are the URL for. So I'll be plugging this in to my browser.
- Ecofont
This is an interesting idea – a more environmentally sound font, but will it have any actual impact on ink use at small sizes? I couldn't find any actual maths on the site. Also, I am a slave to Helvetica, and particularly Helvetica Neue, so until someone produces an ecofont variant on them, I don't see myself picking this up.
- LiveJournal deletes 'about a dozen' jobs | The Social – CNET News
Can we all please just move on from this now there's some accurate reportage about it?

Dammit. Must not buy… Must…not…buy…
Well, maybe after christmas. Maybe. - Full text of Barack Obama's acceptance speech
Nothing exactly shocking, but y'know, it is what it is. Be interesting to see how closely the next couple of months campaigning hews to the line he lays out here.
- Lawrence Lessig on McCain on Technology
In summary: The Bush administration has done things that may fuck the US intertubes. The McCain administration will also fuck those tubes. Not exactly revalatory or unexpected stuff, but if you're curious about the major political issues affecting the (US) internet, and have 15 minutes to spare, then this is a good primer on them anyway.
- Shifting Mind » Postalicious
del.icio.us's blog auto-poster seems to be having problems, so I'm trying this plugin as a possible fix for this. Link crossposting may be a bit wonky for a few days as I get the new system bedded in.
- Mozilla Labs » Blog Archive » Introducing Ubiquity
This looks like it could be seriously fascinating, in 18 months or so. The principles, certainly, represent a massive shift in the way we might use the web, and while Ubiquity is a little clunky, I'm sure better interfaces for doing exactly this sort of thing will get developed over the next few years.
- Fake following
Via Matt Jones, Jason Kottke on Fake Following, a brilliant new idea at FriendFeed that I fully expect every social network site to implement by the end of next year.
- dConstruct 2008
I would give my eyeteeth to make this conference. Sadly, there's no way work will pay for it, and even if they would, I am going to be buried in work at the point it's on. Dammit.
- 101 Atheist Quotes – The Atheist Blogger
Don't agree with them all, but I'd have to admit, it's only a minority I really have to take issue with, and most of those are by people who have been dead a long time. My really big problem is that it's a bit anti-Christianity-centric, and while I know it's kind of implicit that atheism defines itself in response to theism, I think you can make a stronger argument for it without resorting to just swiping at the alternatives.

- Google Buries Central London In Rice As Part Of World’s Worst Publicity Stunt
It’s possible I have become confused about the metaphor here. Still, this is worth a look if you’d like to get an idea of the scale of Google’s operation. It’s slightly terrifying. And full of rice.
- Image Fulgurator
Someone get me one of these, at once. Not to screw with other people’s photography, you understand. But screwing with my own photos sounds like fun to me.

I’ve been having trouble with Quicktime not playing some video encodings properly (specifically, audio free), and I’m hoping that this might fix it, because I’ve tried updating every codec I’ve got to no avail.
