Welcome to the Ubuntu Manpage Repository This site contains hundreds of thousands of dynamically generated manuals, extracted from every package of every supported version of Ubuntu, and updated on a daily basis. Traditionally, manpages are browsed on the command line. This project renders all such manuals included in Ubuntu in an HTML, web-browsable format.

If you've never abandoned your 4th grade obsession with the night sky (and who has?), Star Viewer is a web-based tool for peeking at some of the most interesting and vivid sights in the night sky. Star Viewer is not as complicated as, say, the previously mentioned open-source and feature-rich astronomy tool Stellarium
Regular expressions is the term used for a codified method of searching invented or defined by the American mathematician Stephen Kleene. The syntax (language format) described is compliant with extended regular expressions (EREs) defined in IEEE POSIX 1003.2 (Section 2.8). EREs are now commonly supported by Apache, PHP4, Javascript 1.3 , MS Visual Studio, MS Frontpage, most visual editors, vi, emac, the GNU family of tools (including grep, awk and sed) as well as many others. Extended Regular Expressions (EREs) will support Basic Regular Expressions (BREs are essentially a subset of EREs). Most applications, utilities and laguages that implement RE's extend the capabilities defined. The appropriate documentation should always be consulted.

Because Today’s Great Ideas start with Yesterday’s Foolish Thinking * Home * Design Portfolio Twittering the Moon: Anyone know what that star is next to the moon? Last night (February 27th 2009) I saw a really bright "star" next to the moon and wondered what it was. I wondered if twitter would tell me, so I did a twitter search for "star next to the moon." Of course, not only did twitter have an answer verified by hundreds of people, but it beautifully illustrated the thoughts of people around the world looking up in wonder at that same bright star in the sky - an age-old philosophical musing suddenly and poignantly jolted into the realm of the tangible. For those of us who still think Twitter is a pointless waste of time, I hope this example provokes some curiosity.

ecurring outages on major networking sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn, along with incidents where Twitter members were mysteriously dropped for days at a time, have led many people to challenge the centralized control exerted by companies running social networks. Whether you're a street demonstrator or a business analyst, you may well have come to depend on Twitter. We may have been willing to build our virtual houses on shaky foundations might when they were temporary beach huts
Ever since Lifehacker turned me on to Dropbox, it's become one of the most essential pieces in my daily workflow. Sure it syncs files extremely well, but Dropbox is an excellent tool for so much more.
The vision of Semantic Web is that machine usable data on the web is revolutionizing the usage of the worldwide web. It embraces the generation and retrieval of freely available, semi-structured and related data (Linked Data). Intelligent agents are able to use this data for decisions and distributed systems integrate them from miscellaneous sources in a cost-effective way
Data.gov launched in May this year to make huge data sets of information from federal agencies available in machine-readable formats. While incredibly valuable, these data sets are not particularly useful in their current format to anyone but researchers, statisticians, sociologists, developers, or others used to parsing databases searching for trends.
The New York Times has announced that its increasingly popular Congress API has been upgraded to include additional features and data (more at our Congress API Profile). The latest version of the Congress API includes two new features that give developers access to more information: Retrieval of bills cosponsored by an individual member and all of the cosponsors for a particular bill Compare the voting records of two members of the House or Senate to see how often they agree and disagree
The essential benefit of hNews is that by identifying content more clearly and making more of its key information machine-readable it therefore becomes easier to search for. It also could lead to the development of different ways to search via different applications. Kasi was enthusiastic about the advantages of this for the AP. "AP clearly believes that being able to better identify each piece of content for better search discovery, better linking, better aggregation allows ultimately for the customer to see more content, more trusted content, from editorial sources," he said. "Microformats are a very simple, elegant way to do that on a pretty large scale basis," he added, allowing the AP to "prime the content better for search purposes even before it gets to the publisher."
Welcome to TWiki, a flexible, powerful, and easy to use enterprise wiki, enterprise collaboration platform, and knowledge management system. It is a Structured Wiki, typically used to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the Internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Users without programming skills can create web applications. Developers can extend the functionality of TWiki with Plugins. TWiki fosters information flow within an organization, lets distributed teams work together seamlessly and productively, and eliminates the one-webmaster syndrome of outdated intranet content.
