A color wheel, which shows flickr images of the chosen color. Pretty nice to play with and useful if you need to find photos of a certain color.

Oh my god! I can't believe it, there really is an International Obfuscated Ruby Code Contest (IORCC).

A quote from the page:

Ruby is known for its power, simplicity, clarity, yet like any other language can be obfuscated to the point of near unreadability.

The blog, the FAQ and the rules might be interesting. If you want to participate, you should start very soon, the submission deadline is 31-Mar-2005 23:59:59 UTC.

I found another free clone of del.icio.us, yesterday. It's called Scuttle and is written in PHP instead of Perl (as is the case with Rubric, the code behind de.lirio.us/). Also, Scuttle is GPL'd whereas Rubric uses the Artistic lincense. As of version 0.2.0 Scuttle supports the del.icio.us API.

I'll probably try out Scuttle on this site soon, to find out how useful it is and how it works.

This has to be the longest regular expression I have ever seen. It's an email address validation routine posted on a Wordpress mailinglist. Pretty impressing.

Steve Mallett has announced his new del.icio.us clone called de.lirio.us. The main difference between both, is that the (Perl) source code for de.lirio.us is freely available under the same license as Perl and it has a note-taking feature, i.e. you can add longer notes/posts to every URL.

I'm curious how successful it'll be and how it will compare to del.icio.us...
