FOAF.Vix is a visualizer and relation explorer for FOAF (Friend of a Friend) files. Although this file format is designed first of all to be machine readable, it is often desirable to be able to browse it as if it were a usual Web page. FOAF.Vix gives you this possibility, presenting the data from a FOAF file in an easy to understand form and allowing to follow links to other Web resources it contains, including links to other FOAF pages, thereby allowing you to explore the network of human relations.
Did you know that Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within a username? I didn't. Check out Am I receiving someone else's email?. That's really cool. You can send an e-mail to wojciechpolak or wojciech.polak or with any number of dots you like and it's all the same mailbox :).
...it's solid, fun, fast, and easy-to-use.

Lisp and JavaScript
Amiga 500 Nostalgia
Exactly one year ago I linked to an incredible JS/UIX, and now there is a new amazing OS-faker. Chipbench is an Amiga Workbench 1.3 written entirely in JavaScript/DHTML and it is a really good clone.
Google Earth is now available for GNU/Linux systems and Mac plus it has expanded global coverage with more high-resolution imagery!

Richard Wright's solo album Broken China is full of Pink Floyd's atmosphere and style, in some ways similar to The Division Bell or Meddle. It even includes some nice guitar solos.

Runaway 5. Unfair Ground 6. Satellite 7. Woman Of Custom 8. Interlude 9. Black Cloud 10. Far From The Harbour Wall 11. Drowning 12. Reaching For The Rail 13. Blue Room In Venice 14. Sweet July 15. Along The Shoreline 16. Breakthrough |
