The Register
The Register is an online technology newspaper. Its cynical approach and witty writing makes
it a refreshing change from some of the drier news sources one the web. Make sure you check
out the weekly BOFH column - we've all wanted to go to the extremes that this fictional character
does on a daily basis!
TextPad
Textpad is a shareware programmers editor. If you're not working in an IDE it's well worth a try
Tiny URL
This site allows you to encode any url as a "TinyUrl". All you do is enter your (long) URL and it will
generate something like tinyurl.com/7yu2t. This
site is most useful for email long URLs when they may otherwise get chopped up by mail servers / clients.
Cl1p.net
Even wanted to transfer a URL, a GUID or some other long text string from one machine to another? This site
makes it really easy by acting as an internet clipboard. Add a name to the end of the URL (which uses the
digit 1 instead of an i in clip) and you get your own clipboard (e.g. http://www.cl1p.net/infinite). Paste
in some text and then go to the same URL from another machine and you'll see the text. You can also use this
site to transfer whole files but be careful - your data isn't protected with a password so anyone can see it.
StatCounter
The best free web traffic analysis I've seen. No counters, links or images on your page, just a little javascript
on each page and it generates loads of useful statistics.
