Links for Sunday February 27th 2011 through Monday February 28th 2011

  • Pattern | CLiPS
    Python module for datamining and data visualisation. Just in case/
  • Tory council to make homelessness illegal « Labour Uncut
    While Dangerous Dave Cameron talks about the Big Society, and tells us that we must all hel[ one another, because the government would just as soon see us die in the gutter, another group of his friends are attempting to make it illegal for us to help one another, presumably because the Tories have nothing but contempt for anyone who wasn't born into wealth, and wish to see us all die in a gutter.

Bookmarks for January 6, 2009

  • ljdump – livejournal archive
    Quick and dirty tool to grab an LJ archive on any system that has python available, which includes OS X.
  • LiveJournal: The Russian Bear Slashes a Social Network
    SUP have knocked the american tech staff on the head. I don't believe they're going to fuck off tomorrow, or anything, but any way you slice it, this is bad news, and I'm going to have to find a good LJ archiving tool for OS X just so I do have a decent archive somewhere that isn't on LJ, but I should have done that anyway. Still, most of the public content over the least few years is already in databases on my own servers, anyway, but I'd like to get the private/friends locked stuff saved, too. I may also flip back to blogging on my own domain, and just mirroring the content into LJ, just in case.
  • Last.fm Tumblr Weekly Top Artists – Joe Lazarus
    I may want to take this apart and rebuild it for other services since my tumblr account is used for my not-a-photoblog-honest. Or since the blog is called Dead Air, I might just pipe it in regardless, as it does kind of fit with the theme.
  • Baby twitters via kicks – Hack a Day
    I blog this mostly because I want to use the phrase "spime child", which is agreeably SF sounding. And because, well, it's an interesting application of the technology.
