Helma, the closest thing to a convenient Lisp web app server, at least according to Manuel.
b3rnst3in, “Bernstein / Sendmail brennt / Bernstein / Zonefiles fliegen in der Luft”… mit MP3.
Derinkuyu, or: the allure of the underground city, “what would happen to the Earth if humans disappeared overnight? What would humans leave behind – and how long would those remnants last?”
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly
I see you racing around like the speed of light
I see you walking around out there
Wind is flying through your hair
I know you just won’t listen but I try
Don’t drive any faster than the angels can fly
— Dan Bern, Angels
Maffee ist Kaffee, der mit kochender Mate anstatt Wasser aufgebrüht wird. In ihm vereinen sich des Hackers Lieblingsgetränke in harmonischem Zusammenspiel – Kaffee und Mate sind das Yin und das Yang des Maffee. *kotz*
Eigenvalue, eigenvector and eigenspace, really well explained in Wikipedia.
MVC using jQuery, “I’ve developed a jQuery MVC plugin that allows you to bind model values to a view element or a function. So when the value of the element changes the model value is updated. In turn an update to a model value triggers any bound functions to be called and any bound elements to be updated.” Beware: demo crashes Safari.

You say the city has changed, well maybe it’s you.

Liten: Command Line Deduplication Tool and Library in Python, by Noah Gift. “There are a few scripts floating around in various languages and the problem is not all that difficult to solve, but I went the whole nine yards and wrote a reasonably cool command line tool that uses md5 checksums to detect duplicates.”
Book Review: From Narnia to a Space Odyssey, by Delirium. “From Narnia to a Space Odyssey is a collection of the infrequent correspondence between noted authors Arthur C. Clarke and C.S. Lewis. I didn’t even know they had corresponded, so I picked the book up from a bargain shelf for $4, and it turned out to be a fairly interesting if not particularly substantial bit of history, focusing mainly on their disagreements over space travel, and mainly initiated and driven by Clarke’s attempts to engage Lewis in debate on the matter.”
Monadic Parser Combinators using C# 3.0, good idea but ouch.
recbird: An Erlang Dynamic Record Inferring Erlang Parse Transform, seems useful.
Diagram showing all programming paradigms and their relationships, interesting.
