    Fantastic article on how to design good URL structure.

    URL are the proper names of the web and as such, should be treated with care and respect.

  • Yahoo!locaust

    Great article^H^H^H^H^H^H^H rant from Jason Scoot on Delicious going the way of the dodo thanks to Yahoo!.

    Its bottom line: make sure to backup all of your flickr data and photos.

  • Database development mistakes made by application developers

    Mon sql-fu n’étant plus ce qu’il n’était (en n’ayant surtout jamais été vraiment fort bon, soyons honnête) je recommande chaudement cette ‘article’ de Stack Overflow: les erreurs les plus communes de design de DB faitent par les développeurs.

  • Nudgemail

    Nudgemail est un service qui vous envoie des “reminders”: envoyez un mail à <quelquechose>@nudgemail.com et vous le recevrez dans votre inbox au moment que vous le souhaitez. Le <quelquechose> peut être tomorrow, nextwednesday ou même 15062011.

    Par exemple, envoyez un mail à nextweek@nudgemail.com et hop, la magie du net vous renverra votre mail lundi matin, sans fautes.

    Y’a pas de login, de user id et autres enregistrement. Simple.

    Envoyez un mail à commands@nudgemail.com pour obtenir la liste des commandes et options.

    Je pense que les fans de GTD apprécieront.
