To all web developers: Please get your titles right. I don't mean titles of articles, as in headlines, but the HTML <title>s that show up in your browser window title.
For the most part there is only one right way to do titles on the web. The format should work according to the grammar: htmltitle := name separator title, where name is the name of the site, publication, or author, separator is something like '-', ':', or '»', and title is the descriptive title of your post, essay, article, etc. If you want to be clever with your titles ("Lax Styx Wax Clicks") that's cool, there's no need for your titles to be boring. But something like Wow! is usually inadvisable (I've been guilty of that too). This doesn't necessarily apply to every page on the web, but it specifically applies to news sites, weblogs, forums, etc.
Some good examples:
Some bad examples:
Remember that this is what shows up in bookmarks, or links you save, maybe in people's news readers, and most importantly, in my weblog posting window as put there by my blogging bookmarklet.
Steve Dekorte: Unified Data Structure.
Incidentally, I don't know why I don't hear Judy talked about more often. I heard a peep almost two years ago that they might be using them in Perl 6, but nothing since then.
I just searched on the Perl 6 list and Leo claimed in January that Judy has very complex internals and that there are memory leaks in it. That was before Judy 1.0, so who knows if that's still the case.
In any case, I wonder whether Steve's ever looked at it. Steve?
(Note: Also see anything and this page on uniform data structures that's part of the "Vlerq" project.)
