WordPress › Support » [[Plugin: WP Super Cache]] Blank Pages - 500 Error - in Dashboard (sometimes the site too). Describes my current problem since I have SuperCache - maybe this is also my solution. Otherwise, SuperCache will just be removed, because before that it actually ran well, just slowly. If it's dark (uh, white) in between, it might be due to my problem and I'm still analyzing.

Long Live the Web: Scientific American by Tim Berners-Lee. Why the web is so important to us and why and what we must protect it. Because more and more interest groups are trying to reduce the openness of the web for their purposes, ostensibly often to protect users or rights or other great and positively sounding reasons - but behind it all is simply the grab for power that one wants or fears to lose.
pyfpdf provides PDF generation without dependencies on other packages. However, it says "ported from PHP" up front. But if that doesn't deter you and you want to produce simple PDF outputs, you might not be so badly served with it.
Processing.js v1.0 Released and it is still a really nice toy. Now it is almost on par with the big Processing in terms of features.
Is My Blog Working? This is a question you ask yourself quite often. And the answer is not always as simple as just looking at it - for example, what about caching? This tool provides some information, but there is even more at RedBot and Cacheability. Especially for cache information, the last two are better than the first link.
Owl Content in new home
The Owl Content is now also running on the new box. It wasn't particularly complicated, the hairiest part was a silly bug in the Feedparser used (a terribly old version, it's quite possible that newer versions have already fixed this) and an incompatibility of the PHP gettext implementation, which is still used by Wordpress 1.5. Otherwise, it actually did pretty much everything needed right away. It may be that some hits are still running on the old system until the nameserver changes have spread around, but that should grow out in the next few days. And quite incidentally, the owl now has much stronger wings. It should be enough for the next 8000 posts.
