Links – Parerga und Paralipomena http://www.michelepasin.org/blog At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded - Wittgenstein Mon, 04 Jan 2010 12:51:52 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 13825966 Links 4/1/10 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2010/01/04/links-4110/ Mon, 04 Jan 2010 12:51:52 +0000 http://magicrebirth.wordpress.com/?p=481 Links on miscellaneous topics from the last week or so:

  • Crowdsourced document analysis and MP expenses
  • DjangoCon 2009 videos online
  • Node.js , an easy way to build scalable network programs.
  • Enter a URL, set some headers, view the response, then share it with others.
    Perfect for demoing and debugging APIs: hurl.it
  • djangopeople.net opensourced on GitHub!
  • Below: an excerpt of the UK MP’s expenses you can freely scrutinize online. I wish stuff like that would be happening in Italy too (as the overspending situation is quite more dramatic..)

    Share and browse links with MultiUrl http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2009/06/10/share-and-browse-links-with-multiurl/ Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:53:55 +0000 http://magicrebirth.wordpress.com/?p=203 MultiURL allows you to combine multiple links into one short link that you can quickly and easily share with your friends, colleagues, on your blog or any other website. It makes the process of sharing multiple links at once so much easier, quicker and safer.

    I found MultiURL a very useful service. Delicious does something similar, but it’s much broader in its scope… sometimes you need to share just a few links with collaborators, and have something like a ‘dedicated’ platform available for this.

    One neat feature is that from a links-list you automatically get various pages you can send your friends to. For example, a ‘multilink homepage‘ containing a summary of your links:

    Or a nice webpage with a header that lets you jump to any of the links without opening new pages:

    Maybe a feature that i missing is the ability for users/collaborators to comment on the links you’ve shared.. it’d become a full-fledged links-centered discussion board! (or maybe you can if you sign up? I haven’t yet – and in fact that’s the other cool thing about it – no need to sign up in order to share links!).
