  • Python module for scraping web pages. Creates a Region object of a chunk of sourcecode with a start, an end, source URL, headers, raw content and plain text content. Does not create a parse tree. Maybe interesting to try compared with modules like BeautifulSoup.

  • Thunderbird, IMP, Roundcube as well as Hotmail and Gmail (when still in http mode) perform a DNS lookup on all hostnames in URLs inside the message - regardless of format or whether image display is on or not. As Justin Mason wrote, this is a very bad idea.

  • This was the only article I found about making stop-motion (and therefore time-lapse) videos using Apple's iMovie.
  • Time-lapse photography using ffmpeg - step by step. Very useful.
  • Mark Pilgrim's "gentle introduction to video encoding". As usual with his stuff, it's excellent. Explains the most common container formats, lossy video and audio codecs, tools, and links to further reference material.
