- findbugs is an interesting opensource project doing static bytecode analysis to find bugs in Java programs. Looks very interesting. And here is a scientific paper comparing and empirically evaluating different bug finders for Java. (0)
- Several people followed this tutorial on how to configure libesd-alsa0 and claimed it had worked. Sound in a mess in Linux
(0) - http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html – a cool Blog entry on understanding memory usage in Linux. In short, pmap is your friend

- List of thermal baths in Switzerland. If you are a hot-spring fan you can use it as your checklist
My favourites are:
- Vals – excellent both in terms of the surroundings as well as the pools themselves. I really like the “echo well”, thermal pools and the outdoor pools with amazing views. The building itself built in granite is a masterpiece. Note: you need to make a reservation before hand (call or internet)
- Schinznach – close to Zurich and can get a bit crowded. I like the “river” outdoors and the sauna (need to pay separately).
- Leukerbad – a bit far from Zurich, but quite nice. The “Burgerbad” is quite bit, but you really cannot compare it to masterpieces like Vals. Amazing views: You can admire the rocky mountains above you while soaked up in warm water…. BTW: Don’t miss the Klettersteig in Leukerbad!
- Scoul – quite nice. Supposedly the Roemisch-Irish bad is supposed to be what people come to Scoul for, but I never tried it. I the spa you can buy the mineral water per glass… rip-off. You can drink, probably similar mineral water from the marmot fountain for free
- I forget time and time again the make’s magic
$XXXimplicit variables, so here it is again: gnu make’s implicit variables. (0) - Ruby on Rails it looks like a very cool framework. I really like the scrict M -V-C separation and of cource the AJAX library. (BTW the REST-like concept reminds me of mod_python). Ruby off Rails a nice, though superficial comparison with Java. (0)
- Gubed PHP Debugger – looks cool and has got a nice GUI – may prove useful some time. (0)
- DB2 reference from IBM – might be useful one day. (0)
- PostgreSQL: Grant privileges on all tables in one go using shell scripts or stored procedures. (0)
- Rafael Marty’s tool for visualizing network communications: AfterGlow (0)
