Spotify playlist of Ghostly's 110 albums of the decade. If Warp were on Spotify this would be even better (can't blame them for not being, though). - Paul Love

"Although these stories are reports about medical research, they are really about computing – in the sense that neither would have been possible without the application of serious computer power to masses of data. In that way they reflect a new – but so far unacknowledged – reality; that in many important fields leading-edge scientific research cannot be done without access to vast computational and data-handling facilities, with sophisticated software for analysing huge data-sets." - Paul Love

"The collection of essays expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized." Free book from Microsoft Research. - Paul Love

Incredible, incredible, incredible list from Ghostly. - Paul Love

"Some of the tricks are brand new, some are very, very old, IE5.5. old. They all have in common the "fewer or no images" mantra." - Paul Love

"Part 1 of a new Blech collection - classic tracks from Warp's 20 year history, mixed together by Strictly kev aka DJ Food with a nod to the Blech mixes he did with PC in the 90's. Certain sections mirror the set played at Warp's 20th anniversary gig in London, 2009." - Paul Love

Thread on twig integration with Zend and a call to integrate with other PHP frameworks (CakePHP, Yii, Kohana, Code Igniter). - Paul Love

Fabien Potencier of Symfony on PHP templating and his django-like twig template language. - Paul Love

"A standard specification currently being developed to display 3D graphics on web browsers. It enables hardware-accelerated rich 3D graphics in web pages without the need for special browser plug-ins, on any platform supporting OpenGL or OpenGL ES. Technically it is a binding for JavaScript to native OpenGL ES 2.0 implementation, to be built in to browsers." Blimey. It's running in Firefox and Webkit nightlies, apparently. - Paul Love

"A bookmarklet for typographically obsessed web designers. It enables rapid checking of fonts and font styles directly in the browser without editing code and refreshing pages." - Paul Love

There is no fold. - Paul Love

Shows "a waterfall of your page load performance as well as a comparison against an optimization checklist." - Paul Love

I'm not sure I approve. - Paul Love

"I propose a simple set of rules and requirements that dictate how version numbers are assigned and incremented. For this system to work, you first need to declare a public API [...] Once you identify your public API, you communicate changes to it with specific increments to your version number. Consider a version format of X.Y.Z (Major.Minor.Patch). Bug fixes not affecting the API increment the patch version, backwards compatible API additions/changes increment the minor version, and backwards incompatible API changes increment the major version." - Paul Love

"A Google Chrome extension that helps you identify and fix performance problems in your web applications. It visualizes metrics that are taken from low level instrumentation points inside of the browser and analyzes them as your application runs. Using Speed Tracer you are able to get a better picture of where time is being spent in your application." - Paul Love

I'll be there from December 12th until December 13th. See more in my Dopplr profile. - Paul Love

"A quick [!] overview of Continuous Integration summarizing the technique and its current usage." - Paul Love

"A CSS/HTML/JavaScript framework started as a personal project and then grew into something more. The idea behind it is to reduce the amount of time spent on setting up the basic master HTML template by reusing the same coding techniques." - Paul Love

New tool from MSE; checks digital prices across a range of digital stores. Shame it doesn't query more independents, though. - Paul Love

"A free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider." - Paul Love

"Zend Framework Coding Standard for PHP" - Paul Love

"What would videogaming look like if it rejected the machine as a model for play, if more games incorporated gratuitous moments of relaxation from their constant, accelerated striving? Or if more games did not treat us as employees but as autonomous co-creators?" - Paul Love

"Once HTML 5 becomes a viable option, how can we avoid having teams of web developers spending their time discussing which syntax to use instead of working on the project their clients pay for?" - Paul Love

"Let's ruin E-ON's pathetic online attempt to rescue their ailing brand." Oops. - Paul Love

"It’s extremely cool to see this pattern being evangelized for such a major piece of the Internet." - Paul Love

"This is a list of old game releases. These games were priced at nearly $50 a year ago, now probably a lot less. Why buy a new game when there are plenty of fun games out there worth renting or buying for less?" - Paul Love

"A creative/eco converted warehouse factory space five minutes walk from both Liverpool Street and Old Street stations. With offices and studios, we offer creative and social businesses an affordable, friendly and relaxed environment to work and collaborate with like-minded people." - Paul Love

"It’s not intended to be a fully designed template, but rather a foundation for a design." - Paul Love
