WEBoggle is a scrabble-like game where words in a 4 by 4 matrix can be found not only vertically, horizontally and diagonally, but also a combination of both. Enough said, go and play the game and you'll see.
The game requires no plugins and the JavaScriptcode is really neat. I just wish they had a game like this in Swedish!
The Wayback Machine has archived my websites since April 2001.
The last archive entry is of how this website looked like with the new design first. I.e. 7 months ago. I didn't know about this project but it looks promising yet limited. It's like a permanent cache.
Another fun one was my profile page from our intranet when I was working for Net4Any. (have patience and wait for the animated mug shot)
"In an open letter to Sun, Eric S. Raymond, president of the Open Source Initiative, attacks Sun's tight control of Java, even though the firm has recently made positive comments on open source software."
A good news article about why "Eric S. Raymond"n:http://www.catb.org/~esr/ thinks Sun should go open source with the Java programming language. This next thing struck me:
"Open source is hardly a zero revenue model; ask Red Hat, which had a share price over triple Sun's when I just checked," wrote Raymond.
The Mozilla C++ portability guide says that developers should not use templates in their C++ code. Damn! I just learnt how to use templates in my Object Oriented Programming in C++ course. They are so useful that I can't understand why the compilers can't support it.
"Don't use the C++ template feature. This feature is still not implemented by all compilers, and even when it is implemented, there is great variation. Most of the interesting things that you would want to do with templates (type safe container classes, etc.) can be implemented with macros and casting, even though you do lose the type safety (pity). Often times subclassing can easily achieve the same result."

This month I present to you: Infinite Illusions Catalog. And shopping site where you can buy yo-yos and juggling equipment.
Let me start complaining, let me know if you can find any more that I forget to mention:
The only good thing about the site is that it loads very fast. My guess is that they update every single page statically with MS Frontpage.
I have recently been thinking about writing a Knowledge Base web application, but so far it's only the research stage. Today I saw the MozillaZine Knowledge Base which was good inspiration. They seem to have some completely different types of pages. FAQ's, comparison sheets, tips and normal articles.
That is something I hope to have. The type of any piece of knowledge must be considered meta-data. I.e. the structure is separate from the data.
The MozillaZine Knowledge Base sure looks impressive. Do you know any other knowledge bases that you think is impressive?
"At first glance they look like the rugs woven for hundreds of years by the tribal peoples of Afghanistan. But instead of traditional abstract motifs such as water jugs, chickens, blossoms and horses, these rugs depict tanks, paisley-shaped helicopters, jets, hand grenades and Kalashnikov rifles." source Forbes.com
Check out the war rugs with the NYC world trade towers. Don't know why but I find these rugs really appealing. I'd love to have one!
I've changed my RSS feed to be RSS 1.0 compliant. My feed has been invalid for couple of days so I thought I needed to upgrade.
RSS 1.0 also allows for a Subject meta data so my items will look better on Webforce.at
This crazy dude gets a job to try to get fired as quickly as possible.
There's another similar article about Blind Dating by this same guy that I have to read when time allows.
The interview:
Manager: It says here your last job was at85 the85 Ein Burger Haus?
Me: Ya! This information is correct!
Manager: Tell me about your duties at Ein Burger Haus.
Me: I had many, many, many ways to make burgers.
Manager: Do you have experience with cash registers?
Me: Ya, I like to work with machines!

Try this Memory Test on BBC Science. They have "several other tests"n:http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/index.shtml?brain that are worth checking out too.
I passed all the tests I took I can proudly say. Not always very fast, but at least I didn't cheat. My technique was to remember each word in a sequence of events that connects each word, but these connections span more than two words. I.e. To remember "dinosaur", "jumper", "guitar" I imagine: "a big green dinosaur", "the dinasaur puts on a red jumper", "the dinsaur is happy for his jumper because now he can play the guitar".
