The true genius behind The Orb (Kris “Thrash” Weston), has started Kickstarter project for new album with many collaborators. Professional grumpy old man “par excellence”, amazing soundsmith, and all-round good egg. Worthy of support, and proud to count him a friend.

Track and follow your position with openlayers
Track and follow your position with openlayers – a less saturated alternative maps api to googlemaps, and gowing steadily in popularity and support. Click the Track button to find your current location, and it will update as you move as with any other map tracking application. Probably best viewed on you phone I guess!

Try the CSS Validator on this site (based on CSSTidy)
CSSTidy is an opensource CSS parser and optimiser. It is available as executeable file (available for Windows, Linux and OSX) which can be controlled per command line and as PHP script (both with almost the same functionality).
In opposite to most other CSS parsers, no regular expressions are used and thus CSSTidy has full CSS2 support and a higher reliability.

JIRA as Support System
JIRA was not designed to be a support system, but can be easily tailored to do so. the reasoning behind it is simple – your clients are testers! Traditional post-launch support is distant from the project development lifecycle, and rarely any kind of integration takes place. By incorporating support into JIRA, you give yourself the means to easily process client issues that are relevant for the project lifecycle. There are many ways to do this with JIRA, but this is the most pragmatic and maintainable appraoch I found.

Posterous
This is something I was hoping WordPress could manage – a useful service though I tend to use such applications as Twitpic or 12second.tv to post pictures and video with descriptions. But if you thing is blogging “proper” posts on the move, this is a good service with support for many attachment types (image, audio, video and files).
Internationalisation Support Test Page
Firstly, verify your browser can support this anyway by viewing this page. Once done, save the page HTML and upload to your own web server. Not an extensive test by any means, but a good indication of your web server’s support for different character sets.
To do this basic test, just compare the characters in the top cell for a character set, with the corresponding image below in next cell down. They should be identical, or at least a very good representation of the character displayed in the image. Sometimes the eye is still the best test tool!

APML Support is growing
- Attention is the term given to the entire scope of what you consume and ‘pay’ interest to – be it websites, books, songs, etc.
- Attention Profile is a metadata payload of that attention, in the form of keywords (or themes) and weightings, which help score how much attention you pay a given keyword. The idea is that a system tracking your attention could generate such a profile which could then be easily ported to another application and processed accordingly. (APML is a proposed XML format for this payload)
I am sure now that most of the popular social bookmarking sites will offer more microformat export possibilities, and magnolia has been one of the first. Its a good time to start building your own profile(s), using such services as engagd.com and cluztr.com.
