GIGO: words unreadable aloud

Random June links

Welcome to June. Here are a few random links, mostly via del.icio.us/popular ...

Royal de Luxe: Monster Mega Marionettes
http://www.nantes.fr/ext/royal_de_luxe_2005/ [via Ned Batchelder]
Lots of handy HTML entities: http://www.cookwood.com/html/extras/entities.html
Sean Barrett: Lots of interesting stuff ... http://www.nothings.org/
Constrained writing: a jabberwocky version sans "e"!
( See also http://tmp.i.am/2002/08/14.html . )
Haskell Tutorials: http://www.haskell.org/~pairwise/ Especially Eric Etheridge's tutorial aimed for C Programmers.
Another HCnAR to read.: (HCnAR == Haskell Communities and Activities Report)
This one is the 8th Edition, from May 2005.
http://www.haskell.org/communities/
Much ado about dependent types and Epigram on LtU: A couple of papers to read:
- epigram tutorial
- lesson 3 in boilerplate-scrapping (generic programming in Haskell with GADTs).
van Roy's CTM, Oz, Erlang: These may be rising in personal importance for me: van Roy's CTM, Oz, Erlang, and constraints-programming; or more intense web/ajax stuff; or maybe even more advanced C++/boost/ootl work.
JHC Haskell Compiler: It may be that the JHC discussion at 'pub.comp.jhc@ofb.net' will be of interest, if I can get a yammer.net account, and figure out gale. JHC might be too young yet, though. Noticed ex-colleague Tessa Lau's name (hi!), due to her PyGale library. http://wiki.ofb.net/?GaleFaq . Ok, so I got onto yammer.net; it took overnight to get a password assigned.
(A paraphrased quote (Thoreau?) comes to mind: "Distrust any discussion group that requires new client software.")
Of course, that may just be the price these days of keeping ahead of spammer scum.
Programmers need to learn statistics ...: ... Or I Will Kill Them All

http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/programming/programmer_stats.html
It's worth reading at least up through Zed's dialog with the "blind man on a planet with no sight".
Lifecycle of Bloggers: Funny and too true "Lifecycle of Bloggers" rundown.

Project warning signs: Perceptive list of warning signs that you're being offered work on a bad project.
JPublish and Aquarium: ... and "FreeEnergy" are web frameworks based on an idea very similar to what Scala can do with its "Modular Formatting" as seen in Burak Emir's scala servlet how-to doc/examples. FreeEnergy is a name like Ajax, for the synergy of how PHP's "include" statement combines with PHP's environment to allow modular, somewhat structured HTML page building. jj Behrens was part of the inspiration for that, and then he went on to create Aquarium, a Python web application framework implementing this idea. Meanwhile, Anthony Eden created a similarly-inspired Java version called JPublish.
