Milkymist - eyecandy on a chip
by rike_
The goal of the project is to develop a stand-alone device in a small form factor that is capable of rendering MilkDrop presets in real time from an audio input, and displaying them on a screen or projector.
Open source components have been used or developed as much as possible, and a system-on-chip implemented in a FPGA has been chosen for meeting this goal at the IP core level.
The flexibility of the FPGA enables advanced users to modify the design, and also permits easy integration of many interfaces (MIDI, DMX512, ...) in a compact way, making Milkymist a platform of choice for the nomadic VJ.

Code Monitor
by rmaltete
(via)
CodeMonitor™ is a free web tool for monitoring, notification, and comparing web page changes made by your web marketer, client, programmer, or a competitor. CodeMonitor checks web pages daily for changes and gives you a side-by-side code comparison.
Who Uses CodeMonitor?
* Webmasters
* SEOs
* SEO clients
* Web marketers
* PPC account managers
* Business competitors
Who Does Not Use CodeMonitor?
* a dog
* a cat
* a mouse
* a rat
* a fly (who won't die)
* and a little gnat
What CodeMonitor Does:
CodeMonitor takes a snapshot of the code for each page you specify. Each day, CodeMonitor then goes out and looks at each page again, comparing it to the snapshot previously taken. If the two versions are different, CodeMonitor then sends you an email to notify you that a change has been made to the page. You can then login to your CodeMonitor account to view a side-by-side code view of the two pages. Differences in the code are highlighted for you.
What CodeMonitor Doesn't Do:
CodeMonitor does not monitor the HomeLand Security Color Codes, nor does it inform you of Tax Code changes passed in your city, state, or Washington, DC. You cannot use CodeMonitor to remember your PIN Code, security alarm code or V-Chip code.
Why Should You Use Code Monitor:
