A quite interesting photography and image technology blog. Photos, explanatory articles, technical background - everything you can imagine. Quite well done. And the link collection in the blogroll on the weblog is also quite interesting.
Waaaaaa - Blockhead Bohlen for the Federal Cross of Merit? Is Griefahn still all there? And just because he pays his taxes in Germany? And because he puts himself in the spotlight with his trashy shows by rudely telling incapable kids that he thinks he's the show god? And please, what kind of role model is he supposed to be for young people: Be arrogant and misogynistic assholes? Siegmar help and prevent this horror.
At tagesschau im Internet there's the original article.
A very nice Scheme programming environment whose main goal is learning programming itself - building on Scheme language scopes of varying complexity. The whole thing is well-oriented to what is necessary at each respective level. In addition, a large collection of libraries with useful function definitions, a graphical programming environment, and a corresponding library for your own programs, many useful developer tools (and some optionally installable developer tools that you can't get elsewhere), and the best part: now also runs on OS X. Nice.
Notizgeblogged, in the Web Framework Shootout it's about comparing various web frameworks for Python. Quite interesting, and maybe I can steal one or another idea for the Python Desktop Server or the Python Community Server. At Richard's stuff : /python you can find the original article.
A series of tips about microscopy, microphotography and similar topics. Images, descriptions, link collection etc.
Oh goodness, a link battle in Blogistan.de. Folks, get out your chips, cola, and popcorn, sit back comfortably and enjoy the spectacle.
At Der Schockwellenreiter you can find the original article.
I'm indeed a Lisp fan. I love Lisp-like languages and, when possible, only use languages that offer at least a certain basic set of features that Lisp implementations also provide. But this goes too far: a typesetting system with the structure of TeX, but with Lisp syntax.
Somehow this reminds me of the problems I have with Common Lisp: I like the language, I find most of its features brilliant to divine and I certainly have usable implementations to choose from. I don't use it anyway: I would simply have to write too much text. The identifiers are as long as COBOL syntax elements. Ugh. Similar with Scribe: while the identifiers are short, I have to write all the clutter around it. And I get those wonderful blah-blubb-fasel-blubber identifiers for various control purposes. Who wants to write all that crap? What good is a typesetting system where I have to write more markup than I would write in plain HTML? If I wanted to write that much non-content, I could just use DocBook instead...
