List of all 58 fonts now in iOS, mainly for reference. (Although, eesh, Zapfino AND Papyrus? Really?)

"JavaScript Garden is a growing collection of documentation about the most quirky parts of the JavaScript programming language. It gives advice to avoid common mistakes, subtle bugs, as well as performance issues and bad practices that non-expert JavaScript programmers may encounter on their endeavours into the depths of the language." This looks really, really good. Alas, unlike Phil, I'm still not quite fully up-to-speed on Prototypes, but it's a great piece of documentation nontheless.

The beginnings of an encyclopedia for Roguelikes; some useful stuff in here, given current interests.

"I keep coming back to EoPS (I am re-reading it as I write this) because it’s short, it’s easy reading, it’s funny, and much of its advice is timeless.  In a way, you could say its age is even a plus-point, because it makes it obvious which of the rules are of their time and which are fundamental." Sounds great.

Some good stuff here; the tips on the stash were new to me, and particularly handy.

...That Periodically Go Bad. Somewhat useful, surprisingly.

"A set of rudimentary exercises intended to prepare students of rhetoric for the creation and performance of complete practice orations (gymnasmata or declamations). A crucial component of classical and renaissance rhetorical pedagogy. Many progymnasmata exercises correlate directly with the parts of a classical oration."

"This article provides a simple positive model for preventing XSS using output escaping/encoding properly. While there are a huge number of XSS attack vectors, following a few simple rules can completely defend against this serious attack." Pretty comprehensive, and some clear guidelines if, like me, you're unsure where to start when protecting against XSS.

"A dude by the name of Phoebus has posted a collection of his research on Left 4 Dead's infected and weapon damage statistics over on the official Steam forums. I think that it'll be of great interest for any serious player of the game to delve into this information." There's a question over their accuracy, but there's still a decent amount of detail here, and the details on tail-off of weapon damage is useful to know. Also a relief to have the hellacious friendly-fire damage on Expert confirmed.

"The ultimate resource in grid systems."

"This is a lexicon of terms relating to John Horton Conway's Game of Life." Very comprehensive, with lots of examples.

"ACME is a worldwide leader of many manufactured goods. From its humble beginnings providing corks and flypaper to bug collectors ("Buddy's Bug Hunt/1935") to its heyday in the American Southwest supplying a certain coyote, from Ultimatum Dispatchers to Batman outfits, ACME has set the standard for excellence. For the first time ever, information and pictures of all ACME products, specialty divisions, and services featured in Warner Bros. cartoons (made by the original studio from 1935 to 1964) are gathered here, in one convenient catalog."

Oh god, pets now have talent trees. Why does the game get complex just as I've begun?

"Recently I had been wondering what the complete list of HTTP status code symbols was in Rails. Searching through Rails didn't yield any results for a symbol like :unprocessable_entity... Rails defines the symbol to status code mapping dynamically from the status message. The symbol used is an underscored version of the status message with no spaces." Quick list of clear textual shorthand for returning HTTP status.

"KeyCue gives you an instant overview of the overall functionality of any application, plus lets you automatically start working more efficiently by making use of menu shortcuts." Awesome. Really, really awesome. I might well end up registering this.

"APIdock is a web app that provides a rich and usable interface for searching, perusing and improving the documentation of projects that are included in the app." Handy.

Now that's what I call a UI. Nice idea!

"The result of the workshop is Dear Lulu, a fantastic and imaginative resource that puts digital printing to the test through a Do-It-Yourself presentation." Testing digital printing by creating a book that's full of metrics and challenges.

Might come in useful for that Braid article I need to write.

"Diaroogle helps you find quality public toilets from your mobile phone. It's for the discerning, on-the-go defecator who is brave enough to use a public bathroom, but still demands a hygienic and private bathroom experience. It is also a community authored database of New York toilets."

An up-to-date cheatsheet for jQuery. Nicely laid-out, and nicely dense.

When they say "rules", they mean "of thumb", but they're still handy yardsticks to have.

As recommended no the ixda-discuss list.

Or, more specifically, a few jazz chords for guitar. Some nice reference on this site, particularly for other tunings such as DADGAD - not the best by a long way, though.

What it says on the tin.

find, listen, and discuss free lectures from around the web.

Chris Messina collects a big pile of design patterns from across the web. Then he sticks them in a Flickr collection. Useful.

A rather comprehensive history of Hawaiian-style slack-key guitar.

ADC reference on shell scripting - looks comprehensive, nicely-organised, and well-written.

Highly useful: analyses when an Apple model was last replaced, and tells you if it's a good time to buy one. Fortunately for what I'm looking for, it's "still good value"...

Lots of great stuff listed here - worth going back to, for sure.

Hmn. Some good ones in here - a fair few nasty hacks with Javascript and poor markup liberally smattered around, though. Caveator factor.

The Django Book is now in beta, and it's looking great - the JavaScript annotation system in particular is a delight. I'm really looking forward to seeing this develop.

PDF drafts of a new textbook.

They really do.

Not so much "tedious" as thorough. Really well written, really clear. If you're a photographer and you *still* don't get this stuff, you need to know it now. And then you need to know it backwards, because it's basically the entire technical side of thing

Most of which are pretty handy.

It was here I learned to use Unsharp Mask, and here I learned to stop using it (I'm using High-pass Sharpening, ever since Ben mentioned it). He writes really well, though, and gave the best explanation of USM I've ever read, so I must dive into his other

Another condensed reference is always useful...

Wow. Yes, yes, yes, definitely need this.

I'll need this some day in the next month or so, now I've got SVN up and working (hurrah!)

I'm going to need this, and it sure is easier to skim than the official wiki (not to diminish the usefulness of that tool in any way)
