Why a great programmer is worth 50 good ones + More
Interesting - Why a great programmer is worth 50 good ones. It must be tough wrangling developers and software projects. Sure one shit-hot programmer is worth 50 good ones but what happens when the person leaves ?
Handy Linux/Unix tip - Advanced 'find'.
Amusing - List of Sci-Fi Cliches.
The Guardian Top 10 Sci-Fi MoviesThe Onion AV Club covers this summers new releases - Dire state of this years upcoming Movies.
Wow - Fast network gear! 30Gb/s on each port!
Nostalgia - Pressplayontape is a band which plays Commodore 64 game music. Load "*", 8, 1
Amusing - Panic Ripoffs. Panic make great OS X software and this page collects some interesting rip-offs of their software art.
Amazing sketches - Human Camera.
It had to happen - Pimp My Laptop. Certainly catchier than 'a sticker for your laptop lid'. Not as nice as the Colorware stuff either.
Handy - OS X Automator Tips. Don't think I do anything often enough to automate though.
Two nifty (and small) Linux boxes - KuroBox and the SpaceCube. The SpaceCube in particular almost looks like you could use it as a key-chain fob.
Two tools to help you keep an eye on your server / network health and well being - Zabbix and Monit/Munin.
Beatiful images from Nasa - Stars & Galaxies Wallpaper.
Interesting - What do you put on your USB key ? Hadn't thought of putting a contact address on there before - makes sense if you mis-place it though.
Office Space paraphenalia - Damn it feels good to be a gangster. Gear looks a little tacky but like the plethora of 'Vote Pedro' t-shirts it does appeal to a certain kind of person :-)
