This week I will both post this on the correct day AND get the date in the title correct.

• An oldie but goodie.  ENHANCE.  This will make anyone who has done photo/video editing twitch.  Check the author’s Tumblr for more supercuts.  (indirectly via)
• Many people complain about regular expressions (and more recently), but they are an insanely powerful tool if you know them well.  If you do, figure out this crossword. (PDF)  (via)
• Followup on the first two links in that last item: xkcd drives a lot of traffic!
• If you are on Windows, you probably use PuTTY for ssh.  It saves everything in the registry, which can occasionally mean losing all your configuration.  There’s manual ways to save it, but there’s also PuTTYtray.  (I’ve used portaPuTTY in the past, but it seems to be missing/no longer updated.)
• Actually, holy crap there’s a lot of variations/addons for PuTTY.
• That makes sense given how many terminal emulators there are, really.
• Why piping something off the Internet right to a shell isn’t a good idea.  (via)
• Remember when the computer section in bookstores had books that involved programming?  (unfair, I know.)
• “Don’t Be A Stranger“, musing on how there isn’t enough meeting strangers through the Internet any more.  Here’s the odd thought I had while reading that article: I couldn’t pick most of the other DragonFly developers out of a lineup, but I’ve been working and talking with some of them for a decade.
• You could build Photoshop version 1 yourself – just substitute the original Mac libraries.
• Related: Photoshop is a city for everyone.
• Some of the oldest color film footage. Not the oldest,but possibly some of the earliest commercial film.  Of course, the first thing filmed are young, attractive women.  This is a re-occurring  theme.
• Hey, a comprehensive year-end BSD roundup.

Your unrelated tea link of the week: Epic Tea House Server.  Interesting just because of what he does and because I’ve never encountered tea from a samovar, though I’ve read of it.  (via)

Wait, this is better!  That previous link led to this film from an English chemistry professor about tea chemistry.  At first I was just entertained by his hair and his accent, but when he put tea in a NMR spectrometer, I decided this was the best tea thing ever.  Even better than Elemental!
