Home - compass - GitHub
compass is a great way to keep your CSS organized and easily refactorable. I also really appreciate that it lets you use the CSS frameworks like blueprint, YUI, et al, while still using semantic markup!

The Accidental Businessman: To except is human; to handle is divine.
"In reality, by the time an error has occurred, there are only two possible outcomes: either you expected the error to occur, in which case you have already written code to handle the failure, or you didn’t, in which case your main focus should be to use the error as a learning opportunity."

girtby.net – Software That Goes Clunk
"Even if you don’t know anything about unit testing, you should be able to factor it into a technology decision. Software package A is unit tested, and B isn’t. Which do you pick, if all else is equal?"

Amen.

Ole Morten Halvorsen: Django: Inserting and Positioning Images
Smart way to embed images in an arbitrary piece of content. You don't even have to use Markdown, just some uniquely identifiably formed text, like ##IMAGE1###, that gets pre-processed and replaced with the image tag.
