Google PageRank Checker - Check Google page rank of any web pages

Another tool for the web entrepreneur. Unfortunately it doesnt work too well, this site doesnt even show up, how can that be?

Bushfire Monitor | aus-emaps.com

Ive said it before, everything you could ever want is on the net.. ive mentioned to a few people "wouldnt it be great if there was a WheresTheFire.com website, where i can look up fires in my area!". Lo' and behold, here it is.. ive even bookmarked my area, for future reference.. amazing stuff. This will certainly be going onto eFlea.

Right Click, Save Target As - Quick Link Maker For Saving Web Files

Im constantly amazed that anytime I google something, where i need to know somethign or find a tool, it alwasy comes through.

This is a task that occurs repeatedly, you have a file on the web you want to save, ie a flash file, mp3, image, anything, quite often you need to create a dummy html page with just the a href to the thing you want to download.

Well, this tool above does just this. You paste in the link, click 'make link' and voila, its done.

Amazing, i wish i had the time and imagination to make this stuff.

LiveFaceOnWeb.com

These guys are scary!! its pretty lifelike (yes i know they are real) but kinda spooky, id consider for my site, could really get a message across.

Generating the FDFD modeling by applying the Preconditioner

This is what happens when you feel lucky on google with 'fdfd' as a search term.

"Qiuzhao Dong, Misha Kilmer and Carey Rappaport

Based on the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC), Finite Difference Frequency Domain(FDFD) modeling is generated by applying the preconditioner which is especially important in 3-dimensional FDFD modeling (it hastens the computational rate.). The theoretical basis for constructing the preconditioner in the frequency domain is presented and the general grid geometry for FDFD modeling is discussed. The 3D FDFD modeling is testified by comparing its result for the electrical filed distribution of the simple dipole in the free space to the theoretical result and comparing its 2-dimensional effect for point source to the result from the 2D FDFD modeling . Some particular target cases are carried out. But the 3D FDFD generates a very large matrix (although it is very sparse), it need to occupy a corresponding large memory. Due to the restriction of our computational resources, the large size case can not be afforded here. "

I dont know about you, but this stuff is pretty heavy duty. I even read the pdf they refer to, lots of pretty colored pictures, jargon, and bad english.

PayPal Integration into e-Commerce Solutions, ASP.NET - Page 2

How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong

This is one funny article, I have to quote a little bit

"One Infinite Loop, Apple's street address, is a programming in-joke — it refers to a routine that never ends. But it is also an apt description of the travails of parking at the Cupertino, California, campus. Like most things in Silicon Valley, Apple's lots are egalitarian; there are no reserved spots for managers or higher-ups. Even if you're a Porsche-driving senior executive, if you arrive after 10 am, you should be prepared to circle the lot endlessly, hunting for a space.

But there is one Mercedes that doesn't need to search for very long, and it belongs to Steve Jobs. If there's no easy-to-find spot and he's in a hurry, Jobs has been known to pull up to Apple's front entrance and park in a handicapped space. (Sometimes he takes up two spaces.) It's become a piece of Apple lore — and a running gag at the company. Employees have stuck notes under his windshield wiper: "Park Different. They have also converted the minimalist wheelchair symbol on the pavement into a Mercedes logo."

There is much more, but this just caught my eye.
