Usernames, passwords, feed URLs and feeds are never stored on the server. Usernames, passwords and feed URLs are only parsed from the alternate URL to retrieve your RSS feed on the fly from the original source and then are discarded.

Andre Michelle Brings It with Audiotools and Re-Makes Rebirth Alive and Better with AS3 Flash and Java

If you ever were a fan of Rebirth and Rebirth 2, this was a music kit that had two 303s, a 909 and an 808 kick drum (beastie says mmmmmm-m-m drop!). Well Andre Michelle has re-ignited that awesomeness and upped it with the Audio Tools from hobnox!.

This not only has the famed 808, 909 and 303 (conveniently covered with stickers of love) but also sorts of channel mixers, pedals and sweet interface that mimics the inputs and outputs as well as customization on nearly every aspect of the audio creation with these tools. Use your mouse to move things around, connect ins and outs and move the whole setup around.

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: A Firefox extension that grabs overlength Twitter updates, sends them to ShortText.com, and inserts the ShortText URL. Looks handy.

Clip Source: shorttext.com

Twitzer - Twitter long text v1.3

Twitzer is a Firefox extension which lets you post text longer than 140 characters on Twitter.com. It can also convert TinyURL.com links to actual links so that you are sure what link will open.

HOW TO TWITZER?

Once installed, log on to the Twitter site normally and type away in the update box (ignore the character count when it goes into minus and turns red).

Once finished with the update, right click anywhere on the page and click "Twitzer text".

The entire text is shortened to <140 characters and the link to the entire text is placed in the update box.

Exhibit 2.0: build easy-to-customize data-rich pages with no coding

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:31:43 GMT

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: This seems like it might come in handy someday. Linked from http://bionicteaching.com/ihatecode/exhibit/

Clip Source: simile.mit.edu

Exhibit 2.0

Create interactive data-rich web pages like these ones below without ever touching a database or a web server, or doing any programming:

Exhibit is a three-tier web application framework written in Javascript, which you can include like you would include Google Maps.

If you just want to show a few hundred records of data on maps, timelines, scatter plots, interactive tables, etc., why bother learning SQL, ASP, PHP, CGI, or whatever when you can just use Exhibit?

To use Exhibit, you write: a simple data file, and an HTML file in which you specify how the data should be shown. Data + Presentation. That's all there is to publishing, as it should be.
