Random links from my bookmarks

I’d like to share my bookmarks from time to time. I think sometimes random browsing can be very fruitful and sometimes even productive.

This week on my delicious bookmaks, I’d like to share:

Red Hat Magazine | A guide to GNU Screen Very useful to use when needing to run long processes through an SSH connection on a remote server. You can go offline or have a crappy connection and the process will keep running.
Command line tricks for smart geeks Lots of random command line tips and tricks. I love to collect these, they turn out to be very useful more times than you might think.
Peachpit: Microformats Made Simple: XFN > What Is XFN? A good and basic microformats explanation.
25 Tips for Intermediate Git Users If you use Git (which you should) these are very handy tips to know
PHP strpos() vs. preg_match() I’m not a big fan of PHP, but hey, its the ubiquitous language of web applications, its everywhere! Here’s a comparison of the performance of two methods that can be used for string (text) searching. In my case, I use PHP’s regular expressions methods daily.

I hope you find these links interesting or usefull as they’ve been for me.

A quick look at my del.icio.us tag cloud. I guess it really shows my trends.

The last lecture

Gabriel Saldaña — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 07:41:41 +0000

I just bumped with this lecture about dreams and life. It’s by Randy Pausch, a virtual reality expert and now dying from cancer. He teaches us his last lecture, which is about how to conduct your life to accomplish your dreams.

It has a very emotional and unexpected twist at the end. Loved it.

Steve Wozniak Hacks iPhone on TV

Several times Woz has expressed his thinking about having the iPhone as an open platform. But what a better example of it than hacking an iPhone on TV! I loved his quote: “you know some people may criticize you for not having hacked your iPhone”.
