A straightforward guide to using floats in CSS. This has always confused me, but I think I finally understand it now after reading this.

Very cool idea: a kind of bookmarklet commandline for your browser. This replaces a load of bookmarklets for me, so should make the bookmarks bar a bit less crowded.

This is incredibly cool: generate sparkline graphs using only jQuery and CSS. I need an excuse to use this somewhere.

"But imagine if you could get online anywhere you liked — in a taxi, on the beach, in a hotel with disgustingly overpriced Wi-Fi — without messing around with cellular modems. What if you had a personal Wi-Fi bubble, a private hot spot, that followed you everywhere you go?"

I had no idea you could do this, but it's an excellent tip for when you want to link to Flickr photos on Twitter or IM. (via @dubh)

A simple but cool idea: type a reminder into the big sticky note and set it as your home page, so that your mantra or reminder to put the bins out is in front of your face.

This looks like it would be very handy at times: just paste in date (or upload a CSV, XLS or TSV file), change the format of individual cells and it applies those changes intelligently to all the other rows. At the end, it cleans up the file and lets you submit an email address to get the new file sent to.

"We think http://www.rousette.org.uk/blog/ is written by a man."

"Spamgourmet provides spam protection using on-the-fly self-destructing disposable email addresses. Users can also set up rulesets for trusted or permitted senders, etc." Very handy! [via TextDrive forums]

Scan documents and whiteboards with a phonecam. Email or fax directly from MMS.

Flash-based online task tracker. Fill in bubbles for every 15 minutes of activity on a task to keep on track.

Provide a link to one of your photos on flickr, choose a size and print out a nice calendar using your own photographs. The CD jewel case size is particularly good for a desk.

Some very useful tips for using Google Calendar, particularly if you use a Mac.

A comparison of the features of two of the social bookmarking sites.

Slightly random, automated nagging via email.

Web Developer's Handbook is a pocket-edition of the Web-Dev-Bookmarks (alvit.de/web-dev) - a list of essential web-sites, which make the life of web developers easier.

Another cool Vim tip, though you might need to actually check the URL returned in some cases

An interesting templating system. Seems quite a bit simpler than Smarty.

You can now get the best of both worlds: import your del.icio.us links to spurl.net and vice versa.

Another social bookmark manager/linky doodah. Seems to have some nice syndication options, but del.icio.us currently has much more interesting links.
