Links of the Week (Week #48, 2005)
Published Saturday, November 26th, 2005 at 10:05 am
- Date and Time.com – Useful website for generating calenders. Helps me determine the week number.
- The Smaller Picture – An interesting collective consciousness project where the websites visitors are asked to determine if a single pixel in a picture should be black or white.
- CodeHTMLer - a simple program that translates plain text code into a colorized HTML version. I’ll try to use this in the future when posting code.
- 500 Named Colours with rgb and hex values – Being colorblind I have a hard enough time telling blue from purple and much more magenta from indigo. This page lists over 500 colors by color name, Hex value, RGB value and Microsoft Access code number. Good reference for me.
- Human Contact Cheat Sheet - I recently had a bad experience with Experian. When their website went flaky on me I called their "customer service" line. I soon learned that it is impossible to talk to a live person (an their automated system was not a help). This website contains a list of steps needed to talk to a human. Didn’t help me with Experian as I needed to hang up and start calling random Experian numbers found across the net.
- List of open source software packages – A giant list of open-source software packages.
