Using WordPress Excerpts – from Beyond Caffeine and WebsiteStyle.com
How to get the most out of the WordPress excerpt function.
DotNetSCORM™ – The SCORM .NET Open Source Learning Management Project > Home
The purpose of the DotNetSCORM™ project is to create an Open Source Learning Management System using .Net technologies. There are currently several SCORM compliant Learning Management System’s written in Java and PHP. These are mostly based upon the ADL Sample RTE. However due to the technologies used they can not be tightly integrated into the Windows Server environment. Therefore this projects goal is create a SCORM Compliant LMS to serve as a model for further development and use of the SCORM standard on the Windows Platform.
Code Editor in the Cloud | Linux Magazine
A fully-functional code editor that resides in the cloud is something that I’ve been dreaming about for awhile now. The idea of being able to open a public project and easily edit it in a familiar environment from any computer without SSHing into the server is very appealing to me.

There have been a couple of attempts on the web to do something like this but they’ve been a little too simple. Now, however, Mozilla Labs has announced the launch of Bespin, a full-featured, collaborative code editor that resides in the cloud.

Customizing the search box in Drupal 6 | codegobbler.com
There have been loads of suggestions about how to do this on drupal.org, including altering the core Drupal source (not a good idea!), using a string replace function in a custom template file or using the String overrides module. But, the best suggestion came from this post and is the most Drupal friendly way of doing it.
