Easy testing of CGI scripts
via Recipes from the Python Cookbook by (author unknown) on March 05, 2008
Invoking 'runcgi.py target.cgi' starts a built-in web server, configures the server to run target.cgi as a CGI program, then launches the system's default web browser to get the URL of the target script. The CGI script need not be in Python. The terminal that launched runcgi.py will show the server's log, which reports requests, responses, and errors.

Emoticons and Their Meanings
via My SysAd Blog -- UNIX by esofthub on March 18, 2008
A co-worker of mine emailed me this table of emoticons. I thought it was a fairly comprehensive list until I did a brief Internet search. The list was just a snippet, especially in the chat room space. I rarely engage in chat activities (maybe an occasional MSN chat with a family member), so I had no idea how many emoticons were out there. I discovered that I have been misusing a couple, which...
