Derik, since Moopz gathers info from friendfeed, and does not intrude on my personal account, it does not limits the openness of my personal of "my" friendfeed. It *might* serve as a way for non-friendfeed users to consume ff content without the need to join and jump into the stream. - Kevin Sablan

Never forget an important task again with these great to-do list managers for Linux. - Tabrez Iqbal

Making screencasts (also known as “video tutorials”) is already easy, and becomes easier with better tools and broadband proliferation. However, no tech is complete without a human who dives in, does experiments, and discerns best practices from the results. - Tabrez Iqbal

I was sick of hearing people say Java was slow, when I know it's pretty fast, so I took the benchmark code for C++ and Java from the now outdated Great Computer Language Shootout and ran the tests myself. - Tabrez Iqbal

This is part 1 of a series that I'll use to share some of the greatest free Movie & TV Sites available. The list started with 20, but thanks to reader input and some additional net exploration, the list now features 40 sites. I had additional sites recommended, but I only used the sites I had some success with. - Tabrez Iqbal

I'd wait. My three is a crashy lil' bugger. WTF(n) - Marko Bon

This is a story about how I took an idea and made it into a commercial game. In this article I will try to focus on how to get a game done - a problem many independent developers face. During the development of my game, Asterope, I took a lot of screenshots from many of the development stages that show how the game gradually came to life. Hope you enjoy the read and learn something! - Tabrez Iqbal

"Eric Raymond, author of the [Computer] Jargon File, The Cathedral and The Bazaar and a number of well-used but little-known pieces of software, is working on a book, putatively titled Why C++ Is Not Our Favorite Programming Language. In his recent announcement, he lays out why he wants to "harpoon the Great White Whale of programming languages":" - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

It's one thing to see someone not liking C++(Eric Raymond) but if it is the same person who likes *Java* instead, then I am not listening. - Tabrez Iqbal

"In the midst of a massive global downturn I suspect that many advertising-supported bloggers will follow in the footsteps of the larger media outlets and pull their full-text feeds." Or as ad revenues go down, bloggers will take more measures to reach out to a larger or newer audiences. Yes, you could spend time locking down what you have--or you could dedicate your energies to reaching out to new opportunities. I imagine a good number will do the latter. - Loren Heiny

I simply can't stand partial feeds and skip on even good content to keep away from them. I don't mind ads in the feeds and do click the ones that are of interest to me. It's just impossible to keep track of 300 blogs without full feeds. - Shivanand Velmurugan

Reinteract is a system for interactive experimentation with python. You enter Python code and expressions and immediately see the results. What distinguishes Reinteract from a shell (such as IPython or the builtin interactive mode) is that you can go back and edit expressions you entered earlier and the results will flow through the part of the worksheet after the changed portion. - Michael R. Bernstein

I love the programmer friendly shells available for Python and feel the lack of one for Ruby. - Tabrez Iqbal

jQuery can bring tremendous productivity gains and it's easy to learn and work with. It's one of those tools that has drastically changed of how I think about client side development and frankly it has helped me improve my skill set significantly. It's also made me much more productive and more confident in being able to tackle complex UI and front end logic in JavaScript reliably. - Tabrez Iqbal

Selenium is a common choice for writing integration tests for web application - and one that we have used on various projects in the past. The idea is that you interact with your web application using Firefox and the Selenium IDE plugin records the test. You can then replay this test as part of the ‘integration-test’ Maven phase for your application, hence building up a suite of integration tests to run. - Tabrez Iqbal

Windows still doesn't have built-in defragmenting? - Mistletoe Glen

The BEST free defrag is JKDefrag. http://tr.im/59i No competition. - Keith - @tsudo

I’ve been looking for ways to implement REST web services for some of our Python-based routines. The idea is to do it in a way that is describable in a WSDL, so that we can control that from a workflow engine in the future. - Tabrez Iqbal

Often, new users request a new feature of Git, which is very easy to do in a script. In fact, most of Git's user interface originated as a bash or Perl script. As a consequence, the interfaces of core Git programs (e.g. rev-list or diff-tree) are quite easy to use from scripts. - Tabrez Iqbal

This paper describes a technique that enables the specification of arbitrary combinations of user-defined code features on a per-function basis and that detects violations of feature constraints during compilation. - Tabrez Iqbal

Nope, I see it as innovation and evolution. Each of the version control systems you listed has advantages and disadvantages. Cool thing is that they are as good or better than their commerical counterparts. - imabonehead

Here are some of the top-tier brands of the tech industries and their websites have stayed on the Internet for more than a decade. Let’s take a look at how these websites look like 10 years ago, comparing with that it is now. - Tabrez Iqbal

"My next book, "Breaking Up The Monolith: Advanced C++ Design Without Compromise", is intended to illustrate how to have high robustness and performance and expressiveness and flexibility, along with high portability and discoverability & transparency and modularity, and not have to compromise one for the other." -- Mathew Wilson - Tabrez Iqbal from Bookmarklet

There’s a semi-hidden feature in the MSDN Library website: Low Bandwidth view. We’ll talk about how to use it, why I like it, and some tips for switching it on and off. We’ll end up with an MSDN Low Band bookmarklet I whipped up to make it even easier. - Tabrez Iqbal

This article aims to introduce Behaviour Driven Development (BDD), using JBehave 2, throughout a development episode; starting with a user story, describing a desired feature, through to the completion of working software. - Tabrez Iqbal
