What I Would Have Asked Jonathan Schwartz, chromatic, you rule!

The Amsterdam Compiler Kit provides compilers for C, Basic, Modula-2, Pascal and Occam.

A Lisp to JavaScript Compiler in 100 Lines, more a syntax converter, but nice anyway.

Robert Lang's talk on Origami by aallan

OSCON 2005, Joi Ito is there too. “I have always had a respectful, but slightly distant relationship with the community having found it a bit intimidating. I’d always been a supporter, promoter and friend, but now I am becoming a participant.”

I once held her in my arms,
She said she would always stay.
But I was cruel,
I treated her like a fool,
I threw it all away.

RUBY Virus Writing Guide by Second Part To Hell/[rRlf]. Kiddies at work.

Basic Rules to be a Blues Musician, a great list by Debajyoti Guha. “Teenagers can’t sing the blues. Adults sing the blues. Blues adulthood means old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.”

The Case for the Legalization of Marijuana by benna. “The reality is that people who are not going to succeed are in a position in which they are more likely to smoke marijuana. There is no causal relationship however, between marijuana and personal success.”

OSCON 3.3: Current State of the Linux Kernel, especially interesting under the aspect of SCM being used.

If I die tomorrow
As the minutes fade away
I can’t remember
Have I said all I can say?
You’re my everything
You make me feel so alive
If I die tomorrow
— Mötley Crüe, If I Die Tomorrow

OSCON 2.3/3.1: Tuesday Night and Wednesday Morning by Geoff Broadwell, just for the sake of completeness and because Larry’s talk is mentioned.

A blog per second, somehow I’m happy most of them are crap.

Appreciating Libxslt by Bob DuCharme, after my switch from Sablotron I always did that. :-)

schmuu’s photos, all one one page. Syndicate!

Topless Programming, Hanna Wallach doesn’t like that site.

OSCON Day 2: The long tail and open source, well, the long tail is everywhere, but I’m not sure if SpikeSource is a good idea.

Ruby CodeZoo, they now have a Ruby section too there.

LMNL Tutorial, “This tutorial introduces you to LMNL, the Layered Markup and Annotation Language.” A wonderfully weird idea with weird syntax.

Obscuring XML by Elliotte Rusty Harold. How to randomize that data in XML documents. Interestingly, the developers of MySQL never had that problem. :-P

Extreme Markup, Day 2 by Simon St. Laurent. What’s new about XML? It’s good to see people using RELAX NG to generate XML Schemata. Actually, the summary tells us that the problems of XML shifted from a technical to a social point of view long ago. (As just about everything does.) The report on Cafe con Leche manifests my opinion. I had to chuckle several times.
