codepad.org is an online compiler/interpreter, and a simple collaboration tool. It's a pastebin that executes code for you. You paste your code, and codepad runs it and gives you a short URL you can use to share it. Paste the URL into chat or email to get help or to show someone how to do something. Or just try things out when you don't have an interpreter handy. It works well on many phones.

But it's the one job it's very good at. How does it do it? It captures spoken words and feeds them into a Voice Message Conversion System, known as 'D2' (the Brain), and spits them out as text content.

Before building a web application it's useful to sketch the pages and talk them through with the client. We call these sketches mockups. Instead of emailing the pictures to our clients, we upload them to mocklinkr.com. In just a few minutes (really), we turn the pictures into a prototype our clients can play with. Our clients love using a "working" system and we get better feedback because they're hands-on instead of imagining how it would work. Also, with prospective clients we can quickly and concretely demonstrate our understanding of their needs.

A cue sheet, or cue file, is an ASCII (plain text) file that specifies how the tracks of a compact disc should be laid out. Cue sheets commonly have a ".cue" filename extension. They were originally used for the CDRWIN CD recording program, but are also used with other CD software as well as music and video playback software. For an audio CD, the cue sheet can specify titles and performers for the disc and its tracks as well as the names of one or more audio files to be used. MP3, WAV and BIN files are often used, although some programs support other formats. Cue sheets are especially useful when burning or listening to live sets where all tracks are recorded in one file. Cue sheets are also used for many types of CDs in conjunction with an image file. The image file generally has a ".bin" extension. A description of cue sheets and a list of cue sheet commands can be found in the CDRWIN user's guide.

At 100,000 characters, FF3 threw "A script is running slow, blah blah" messages.  IE7 just crashed.  Safari 4 hung in there till 1,000,000 but then it gave up.  It looks like Apple's claims about Safari 4's speed have some truth.  I didn't test any of the past generation of browsers, I may go back and add them later.
