  1. The advantages of being in the weeds (kottke.org). I'm surprised I didn't blog this when I first came across it.

  2. Check out this awesome juggling (via Ned Batchelder). Only one guy juggling three balls, but as impressive as any "two people juggling 20 balls and swords on fire" show you've ever seen.

What browser addon automatically spiders all pages linked from a page?

Sorry to post the whole thing here, but that was the only way to give a sense of how annoying this is to me, and how much bandwidth and server resources these people waste. And, annoyingly, it doesn't just spider, but drops referrers everywhere. This must be a browser plugin that some people are using (or could it be one of those "accelerators" that some dial-up Internet providers provide?). I've checked my Apache log and there are no identifying marks such as a user agent appended to the browser's user agent string.

Anyone have any clue what this is?

  1. ThinkGeek :: Swiss Memory USB. The memory stick Swiss Army knife is cool. It's got a light, a ballpoint pen, a memory stick, and the normal Swiss Army knives and scissors. I might get it if the 1 gig version wasn't so expensive.

  2. RUnit - "Run NUnit test harnesses in ASP.NET." (via Keith Gaughan). Not useful to me right now, but maybe some at work might find a use for this.

ASK - AJAX Source Kit, and Ajax problems

ASK - AJAX Source Kit:

The purpose of ASK is to offer you a simple way to get content into your page on-the-fly through asynchronous JavaScript and XmlHttpRequest, without sacrificing accessibility or usability.

Via Paul Hammond. And, actually, the other day I went through a whole bunch of links about Ajax, most of them having to do with Ajax behavior regarding Internet latency (i.e. with Ajax, you have to worry about what happens if your connection drops, or your responses arrive out of order), that I found on Paul's blog, including everything from Harry Fuecks over here and most or all of the links in his presentations. Interesting stuff I hadn't thought about before, including examples using small proxy servers written in Python (bonus!).

Hmm, for more on Ajax for this evening, see Mastering Ajax, Part 3: Advanced requests and responses in Ajax (via Michael). Also to look at in more detail, and also via Michael, Script Callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0. Both these articles I haven't yet read.
