Andrew Loomis wrote some of the best art instruction books ever, however as you may know, they are no longer in print and nearly impossible to find. SaveLoomis.org is a great resource, with html versions of all six of his books. Pdf versions of the books used to be available, but have become very hard to locate. I was fortunate enough to secure pdf versions of all six books and have since put them on my server for others to download and learn from. To my knowledge all of these books, which were published between 1939-'61, are in the public domain and thus are free to distribute. - ManiacD

Consumers experience telemarketing from a completely different point of view: more than 92% perceive commercial telephone calls as a violation of privacy. Telemarketers make use of a telescript - a guideline for a telephone conversation. This script creates an imbalance in the conversation between the marketer and the consumer. It is this imbalance, most of all, that makes telemarketing successful. The EGBG Counterscript attempts to redress that balance. - ManiacD

Go Programming Language - a systems programming language expressive, concurrent, garbage-collected … fast Go compilers produce fast code fast. Typical builds take a fraction of a second yet the resulting programs run nearly as quickly as comparable C or C++ code. … safe Go is type safe and memory safe. Go has pointers but no pointer arithmetic. For random access, use slices, which know their limits. … concurrent Go promotes writing systems and servers as sets of lightweight communicating processes, called goroutines, with strong support from the language. Run thousands of goroutines if you want—and say good-bye to stack overflows. … fun Go has fast builds, clean syntax, garbage collection, methods for any type, and run-time reflection. It feels like a dynamic language but has the speed and safety of a static language. It's a joy to use. … open source - ManiacD

This is MahTweets 2. Gone are the days of awesome jabber support from Twitter, so until that returns, this will be the best there is! Truth is, I was frustrated at AIR clients (slow resource hogs), and the other native/WPF apps all had potential, but each had their own problems (ie, not being resizable, not having a working clear button, being waaaaay too crash-prone, etc). And thus, MahTweets was reborn. Nearly everything is rewritten (although some of it was so awesome the first time around we just couldn't get rid of it), but many more features have been added, like inline media (youtube or images from twitpic, flickr, direct linking, etc). - ManiacD
