Color Worqx has a great article on Color Theory -- trying to explain how colors work and why some work together and others don't ... to help you get better at color design.

Runs on Linux, Windows and OSX, and works with Mercurial, Bazaar, Git, Monotone, and even SVN and CVS ...

Blacklight is a UX focused code sharing project. Microsoft has released a bunch of technologies that allow designers and developers to work closely together to make beautiful software. This project is a collection of controls, samples, visual assets and ideas that has been put together by User Experience designers and developers to both show you what the technology is capable of (from a UX point of view), and give you code and samples that you can use in your own projects, completely free of charge (see the License tab above).

Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. In case you want to create your own specific chart or image crop-n-rotate widget, you can simply achieve it with this library.

Another plug while I'm at it, this is for my web development company, where the last post was arguably a plug for the restaurant that I am working with. Now booking parties through 2009!

I hope to incorporate all of the RSS feeds on the pages linked from this site into the RSS data shared in this link. Some extensions to Radiant may be necessary to make it work as an importer/exporter both simultaneously.

Microsoft SharedView Beta is a fast, easy way to share documents and screen views with small groups of friends or coworkers ... it's like multicast Remote Assistance ... except it works like Messenger, through routers and firewalls.

These instrauctions mostly work, but with the current version of Windows OpenSSL, the generated certificate is "not suitable for code signing" unless you modify the OpenSSL.cnf config file.

A code-generation tool to work around one of the main limitations of Microsoft's Entity Framework V1 (released as part of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1): lack of support for POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) entity objects -- that is, objects that do not have any persistence awareness programmed in them.

M seems to be like LINQ for data structure generation: a simple template language with assemblers for different back-end technologies.

The Microsoft code name "M" language is a declarative language for working with data and building domain models. "M" lets users write down how they want to structure and query their data using a textual syntax that is convenient to both author and reader.

dbscript is a web development framework, it helps php programmers take advantage of efficient design patterns and idioms from other dynamic languages and frameworks. for example, the Mapper and Route classes work together to map actions and records to distinct urls. among the many advantages of routes are the automatic named routes: url_for( resource ). restful urls, http-style controllers, atompub/html introspection documents and content-negotiation are among the sophisticated features of this programmer-centric development tool. the framework is a database abstraction layer, with built-in adapters for PostgreSQL and MySQL.

A good, simple explanation of how OpenID works and why you need it.

A Perl Module to convert HTML to any of the many pseudo-markups in use by wiki's and blogs, including Textile (see "Confluence") and Markdown, MediaWiki, UseMod, SnipSnap, MoinMoin, etc.

At first I thought this could be the "back" part of TIM, but after trying it out on even simple example text, I'm a bit dissapointed. The nested lists, images, and URLs seem broken (although the links at least, work in Confluence).

The worst problems are that it has no sense of %{style} span% or footnotes, and no concept AT ALL of tables.  It would be nice to at least get the {style} -- and therefore the spans -- working.
