The Twitter Hall of Shame: 50 Historic Tweets

Collection of angry, awkward and funny Twitter messages. Unfollow Me: Leo Laporte called for a boycott of Kevin Rose but later regretted it, as he was “drunk and out of control.”

How we read online. - By Michael Agger - Slate Magazine

You're probably going to read this.
It's a short paragraph at the top of the page. It's surrounded by white space. It's in small type.

The really unforgivable sin of online journalism is explaining things through links. My rule: if the article doesn't make a point that I can decipher without clicking the blue text, then it's almost certainly not worth following through…

Image to HTML Converter - converts an image into an html table

Most web pages are made up of HTML files linked to separate image files. Here's a way to embed an image directly into an HTML file.

Use memory on video card as swap

Everybody considers today’s graphic cards to be meant only for gamers. After all, why would one need a fast GPU in a server? Today’s graphic cards contain a lot of very fast RAM, typically between 64 and 512 MB. With Linux, it’s possible to use it as swap space, or even as RAM disk!
