TinEye

| | No TrackBacks

TinEye comes highly recommended as a website for tracking down copies of web images. There is also a Firefox addin for TinEye to make looking up images that much easier. Via Kelly's Kool Tools.

SQLServerPedia

| | No TrackBacks

SQLServerPedia has become the one-stop shopping location for all useful information on SQL Server: sample code, best practices, architecture, configuration, etc.

Snap shots

| | No TrackBacks

I saw this in someone else's website: any link on your page that you hover over pops up a snapshot image of the page. Cool!

I decided I needed to add it to my own Movable Type website. As near as I can tell, it just requires adding some JavaScript to the Footer template.

Many Eyes

| | No TrackBacks

The New York Times reports on a website, ManyEyes.com, that allows users to upload their data for use in online visualization software. Cool.

The Earth From Above

|

A website which specializes in photographs of the Earth from above. Also available as a coffee table book.

CodeFetch

|

[CodeFetch] allows developers to search programming books online for code samples in the language of their choice.

Say you wanted to find a C# code sample that implements a priority queue, like I did here. You could get several implementations from CodeFetch with a simple search. Mind you, the implementations I'm seeing are a bit bizarre. Would you really implement a priority queue by maintaining a sorted array?

Why tables for layout is stupid

| | No TrackBacks

A great article on using functional CSS layout instead of structural HTML layout. Colorful cartoons, too.

Open Source Shakespeare

| | No TrackBacks

I was doing a crossword puzzle this afternoon and needed some Shakespeare quotes to complete the clues. (Sometimes, I can't get the answer from the clue alone. I need help.) So I googled for a specific Shakespeare play, act, and scene, and it came up with Open Source Shakespeare. It's amazing! It has all the plays, all the sonnets, and a concordance. What more could you ask for?

Trackback spam

| | No TrackBacks

Wow, I had no idea the trackback spam situation was so bad. I decided to check the comments on my site today: no comments. I checked my trackbacks: 555 trackbacks, 554 of them automatically marked as spam. And the other one was spam, too.

In checking the sources, I found one stand out website for sourcing spam links to my site: weebly.com. The site purports to be an easy-to-use blog provider for the non-technical person, but that's not even the start of the story. Weebly.com appears to be the favored starting point of porn spammers. Here are the blogs at weebly that deal with only a specialized porn topic: seven sites all using this specific phrase. Most other blog sites have no hits on this phrase. Looks to me as if this is the preferred location for trackback spammers.
