A BBC TV sow tracking program that mines the social web to find links in-bound to BBC shows, then presents the most popular ones on the front page. Also has a "what's on today" view of TV channels. Looks very good. I was finding www.mightyv.com ok, but not great, this looks better - David Roussel

Original paper on java generics (from 2003?) but note that it's not actually writen by Martin Ordersky who actually came up with java generics in the first place, and went on the write scala. Oh, and he also wrote javac. - David Roussel

Whatfettle, marras? - David Roussel

A HTTP checker, seems quite easy to use and indepth, lightweight and with good explanations of what it's suggesting. - David Roussel

This page works in Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4.0. I must admit, when you zoom in it's like a PDF, having great fonts in a web page. Nice. Looking at the CSS it just references the TTF file by URL, so it's quite easy to use. - David Roussel

Last year Pete got some spare strawberry plants that he'd taken out of someone elses garden, and were going to be thrown away. Instead he planted them in our garden. Here is Sofia giving a little dance of delight when she tastes them. - David Roussel
