This week, like most weeks at the moment, has been stupidly busy. I’ve caught a few really interesting articles on the web but just haven’t got time to write about everything I want to write about. So instead here’s a quick list (in definition-list format, for the technology-afflicted).
- Blood, Bullets, Bombs, and Bandwidth
- A tale of two California cipherpunks who went to Baghdad to seek their fortune, and bring the Internet to Iraq.
- 10 tips for optimising MySQL queries
- Some of these points are useful for other database systems as well
- Hugh McLeod has a wiki
- You’re all welcome to join in the fun.
- The Stanford prison Experiment
- An (in)famous 1970s psychology experiment which showed what happens when you put essentially good apples in a bad barrel. If this doesn’t make you look at yourself in the mirror differently then nothing will.
- Very nifty JavaScript with the Ext library
- Yes, another JavaScript library, with some neat widgets.
- 10 reasons you should never get a job
- Steve Pavlina is a very smart bloke, but I guess most of us are too scared to think too seriously about what he’s saying.
- The new Snickers advert
- Is there anything more great than that? I don’t think so.
