Very interesting piece of code here. Essentially this will take all .php files, and change their extensions to a .sphp file extension. Then it will replace all instances of ".php" in the files, and replace them with ".sphp" for purposes of linking, and inclusion. Very neat script.

David Hurth over at Ajaxonomy have created a pretty cool little web application. Here are the specifics:
If you have been using the popular service Digg you know that it is very easy to submit a story and to see it start to gain traction just to be buried into the dark abyss. What I find particularly frustrating is that you don't know how many people buried the story and the reason for the bury. If you have seen Digg Spy you have noticed that the application does show buries, but you can't just track data for a particular story.
After much frustration Ajaxonomy is now releasing a Bury Recorder application. How the application works is you take the story's URL (This is the URL of the page that the "more" link on the Digg upcoming/popular pages takes you or the page that clicking on the story title takes from your profile i.e. http://digg.com/[story]) and put it into the application and once you click "Watch for Buries" the application will start recording any buries that the story receives. This will allow you to see if your story had 100 diggs and 5 buries before it was permanently buried, or if it was more like 100 diggs and 300 buries. The idea is that you would submit a story and then have the recorder capture any buries from the time that you start the application watching for buries. You'll want to note that in this Beta 1.0 release, so currently you have to leave your machine on and the application open in order to make sure that it continues to capture buries.
Definitely worth checking out, a small program full of ingenuity.I'm fast becoming a regular reader over at Ajaxonomy. I suggest any JS/AJAX programmers do the same.
Regardless of how long you've been programming in a language, let's face it, here and there, it'd be nice to just pick up a sheet of paper, view a simple image, click on a single link, and get a good reference table to aid you. In todays time, there are so many languages that people are trying to cram, that they sometimes lose focus, and mix and match, or just dilute them selves so heavily (think of the butter spread to evenly on the bread example), that they know a language, but sometimes just can't recall some of the functions.
Below you will find a list of as many cheat sheets as I could find on the internet. If you have one you've made, or links that you know that contain cheat sheets, let me know via comments. Thanks!
Be sure to favorite, backlink, pingback, and bookmark this, as I will be adding a ton more shortly.

If you're looking for some UNIX & Perl Cheat Sheets, among others such as BASH, and GAWK, check out Peteris Krumins blog. Intersting, well developed cheat sheets.
The release candidate 1 for Microsoft Windows Vista has been release by Microsoft. Follow the links below. I personally prefer Windows XP Pro at the moment, and only interact with Windows Vista at work. I have however installed it on a machine at the office, and can say, it is so far stable, and there are a few interesting improvements. Removal of the search in the start menu was a bit of an odd one though. You be the judge.
A recent post over at Web Urbanist shows that even geeks can get into the street crime arena from time to time. This interested particularly because I'm a big fan of street art, and admin over at Stencil Revolution. I can't figure out however, whether or not they are actual 'geeks' going out there, or if certain internet phenoms have become so powerful, that graffiti artists are becoming geeks now too. Who knows?
If you wondered why G4 cut him loose when they took over TechTV, here's a good reason...
Sorry but no. I really enjoy watching Chris Pirillos videos, and watch his stream at live.pirillo.com quite often. You can check out his blog at http://chris.pirillo.com/ as well.
