Abridged guide to HTTP Caching is a description of the most important caching headers in HTTP and how they should be used.

JSAN is what CPAN is for Perl - a central directory and download area for JavaScript sources and packages.

Linux-VServer is a kernel patch and a set of utilities that enable running a series of virtual Linux boxes on a base machine, with resources strongly isolated from each other. Chroot on steroids, or most comparable to BSD Jails. Interesting for hosting projects where virtual root servers are required. It's even included in the current Debian.

Tor Network Status provides an overview of exit nodes in the Tor network with traffic information, allowed ports, and IP data. Nice. (found via the Rabenhorst)

typo is a blog software for Ruby on Rails with seemingly already quite extensive features. Specifically also with good caching (produces static pages) for high-traffic sites, where parts are then kept dynamically via JavaScript. Sounds like I'll take a closer look at it when my ROR book arrives ...

The Earth is flat after all - nonsense. Sing against it!
