Tim Ginn’s Personal Blog

Well, here’s more of those things that I intend to read but haven’t gotten around to…

Delta Debugging - “From automated testing to automated debugging”

Fundable - “Raise cash for a shared beach house, a group skydiving trip or a communal margarita machine by creating an all-or-nothing fundraising campaign at fundable.org. Set a economic goal–say, $1,000 to rent a house–and ask pals to contribute.”

Yahoo! Unveils RSS search - this could be a handy thing to have around.

Canadian Geocoder + XML API - Nifty, possibly easier than using Multimap (and apparently more digits of precision).

PHP Security Guide - enough said. Definitely something I’ve got to read before releasing the next bunch of ASUS things.

Yahoo! Hot Jobs searches - crawls the web for jobs… that’s kind of cool

Managing for Creativity (found via Slashdot).

Kolab - groupware software.

A Practical Guide to Linux Commands - if it’s good, I might have to recommend it to a few people who ask.

Pro Blogger - Earning milestones? Hmm, maybe there’s some tips?

I came across this from ongoing, whose description is:

“There aren’t that many people who know what what the Bourne Shell is, care about Middle Eastern politics, and have a sense of humor. But if you’re one of them, don’t miss this version of The War on Terror.”

So, here it is:
The War on Terror bash-style.
