Mid-April Link Dump
April 16th, 2008I think I might switch to posting links gradually via Twitter once this site’s redesign goes live…
- Eurovision Song Contest 1977 talkback
- Running a live event is all about keeping your cool when things start to go wrong…
Dark Horse Presents- It pains me to link to MySpace, but some of the comics are worth the shame and humiliation.
- Acts as ASP.NET (a Rails Plugin)
- A bit of a cheap shot, but this April Fool does highlight some of the reasons why some ASP.NET developers are abandoning Microsoft’s standard way of using it (or abandoning .NET altogether).
- Super Mario in 14kB Javascript
- Glitchy in various browsers, but clever work nevertheless.
- Star Wars comes to Holyhead as Darth Vader strikes back in Jedi’s back garden
- If George Lucas had grown up in Holyhead, Star Wars probably would’ve featured a binbag-wearing, crutch-wielding Darth Vader in the first place.
- Best Story Ever
- A few good ones in the comments.
Predator Rap- Yep, it’s the entire ’80s classic in six and a half minutes.
- Oklahoma Leaks Tens of Thousands of Social Security Numbers, Other Sensitive Data
- When the entire query is in the URL, does it go so far beyond standard SQL injection that we need another term?
- Rethinking business cards
- Cards are all about initial contact, so it’s more important for them to be interesting than solidly covered with every possible method of reaching you.
