Nihon Katchû Seisakuben -- An Online Japanese Armour Manual
by Takwann
It was originally my intention to produce an issue of the Compleat Anachronist pamphlet series which would enable an armourer with fairly average skills to produce a good Japanese armour. The idea has grown to the point where it’s probably too unweildy for such a publication. Also, using the Web to present the information allows me to use color photographs and color illustrations to clarify things that are simply not well presented in a black-and-white printed document. There was another problem, though: specifically, the issue of what constitutes “proper” Japanese armour for use in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Unfortunately, many aspects of Japanese armour fly in the face of thirty-odd years of SCA-style combat. What this means is that, in many instances, a decision will have to be made — namely, are you making armour for combat or for dress?
I will present dress armour primarily, as I am a firm believer in authenticity of appearance. Where concessions for SCA combat must be made, I will explain the necessary diversions and provide explanations on how to finish the armour in either functional or authentic form.

Bre Pettis | I Make Things - Bre Pettis Blog - The Cult of Done Manifesto
by greut
& 3 others
- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you're done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.

Yahoo: Flickr layoffs could spell a photo finish
by karlcow
(via)
et de nombreuses autres compagniesThis is how a team falls apart: Remove a key player, and the social bonds that keep their friends on the job weaken. Before you know it, you've got a group of employees collecting paychecks, not a team working for a goal. Bugs go unfixed; servers crash; the design becomes ugly; and users flee. This could well happen to Flickr. Back up your photos now!

CSS Mojo: Adding Polish To Your Pages
by greut
Often times, as web developers, we're asked to add some seemingly simple visual elements to a page, like rounded corners and drop-shadows. There's as many methods of doing these as there are engineers who've banged their collective heads against the issue. In this presentation I'll provide you my markup-lite, non-javascript, mostly semantic methods for adding some fit & finish to your pages. This is by no means the end-all, be-all of rounded corners, and I'd encourage you to do some experimentation to find quicker and more elegant ways of doing some of the following.
some nice tricks, remember, keep it light.

For All Seasons
by sbrothier
& 3 others
A piece about memories, seasons and using the elements of the textual representation of the memory to create an interactive one.
This is the result of over a year of late nights and weekends and the desire to completely disregard implementation and my current skill level when thinking up the concept for a piece.
Naturally much of the time was spent scratching my head and had I done it again now I would probably finish it in a much shorter time, but this is also a reason why I wanted to do it, the next time I make something I might get that extra bit closer what is in my head.
You know what they say about aiming for stars and hitting treetops.
Welcome to The UNIX Grymoire!
by dimitrich
This page includes Bruce Barnett's tutorials on UNIX shell programming and various other arcane subjects.
Most of these tutorials were written form 1989 - to 1995 for The Sun Observor. The tutorials may still refer to information as "last month" and next month." The tutorials were planned to be put into a book, but Carpal Tunnel Syndrome make the book difficult to finish in the time frame the editor wanted.
These tutorials are Solaris-specific, and contained a lot of references to OpenWindows. Times have changed, but I hope the basic information will still be helpful.
These tutorials are written in TROFF. Converting them into HTML is not a perfect process. There are errors. The tables are ugly, and the indentation inside the shell scripts gets messed up. So I've made the scripts available in source format as well. However, the convertion between HTML, TROFF and plain text is not perfect, so there may be typos in the files and tutorials. In addition, the convertion is an on-coing process, and as I improve the conversion process, the tutorials may look better.
I'd give you my e-mail address, but frankly I think spammers should rot in hell. Therefore I'll give you my e-mail address in longhand form.
