Google Chrome, Google's Browser Project

I suspect that many years from now we'll refer to late 2008 as the start of “Browser Wars II”. That said, this looks pretty fucking sweet.

Django i18n stats

Live(ish) stats of the state of Django's translations. At an average of 70% across 49 languages — many are at or close to 100% — I think we're doing pretty damn awesome.

Integrate Google's Business Search with Django.

ruhlman.com: Alinea, the cookbook

I don't think I've ever before gone so fast from a “ooh, something I want” to a confirmation email from Amazon. Looks fucking amazing.

stevenf.com: How to report a bug in a Mac OS X application

Steven's specifically talking about reporting bugs in a OS X application, but there's really very little here that's OS X specific. Reporting bugs well is an art; those who practice it well see their itches scratched sooner.

How to upgrade to Django Comments 1.0 | patrickbeeson.com

Great guide to upgrading from pre-1.0 django.comments to the version in 1.0.It's quite a bit better than the one in the docs, which probably means I should ask Patrick if I can adapt this into the documentation proper.

(comments, django, documentation, howto, upgrade)

CleverCSS

Like those hackish CSS preprocessors that everyone writes when they get pissed about CSS's lack of variables, except actually well-thought-out and basically awesome. I think I'll be using this for my CSS from now on.

WebAIM: Blog - History of the browser user-agent string

“And thus Chrome used WebKit, and pretended to be Safari, and WebKit pretended to be KHTML, and KHTML pretended to be Gecko, and all browsers pretended to be Mozilla, […] and the user agent string was a complete mess, and near useless, and everyone pretended to be everyone else, and confusion abounded.”
