Programming Update.
Mar. 20th, 2006 04:18 amHere's a few nifty and/or useful and/or stupid computer-related things I came across in the reading. Specific categorization is left as an exercise for the reader:
- Here's an interesting UTF-8 stress test to see how your renderer deals with malformed code points. At first glance, Firefox seems to do pretty well.
- It seems that among many other design failures, no one thought about RFID viruses when designing them.
- Someone has created a scrolling LED bra. I'm sure it has 1001 uses.
- The Linux Kernel Configuration Archive is intended to tell you enough about obscure kernel parameters so you know whether to turn them on or not. I wish I had known about this before.
- Here's a cute website that shows the path your email took to get to you, plotted on a Google map.
