Cut and paste one line of code to make any website editable
All you need to do is visit the site you want to edit, paste the code below into your web browser address bar (tested in Firefox & IE7) and hit the Enter button.
Then simply select a portion of text on the page and start editing.
javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0
Update:Drag this bookmarklet to your bookmark toolbar. It does the same thing

Why Linux is not attracting young?
Interesting story and a very relevant question to be asked if its true that Linux Project is unattractive to young developers.
Also checkout the comments on Slashdot about the same.

Just as we shouldn’t impose hierarchy where it doesn’t belong, we shouldn’t impose regularity where it doesn’t exist.

The big thing about the Web isn’t the technology, it’s that it’s the first-ever platform without a vendor.

Is the Relational Database Doomed?
Recently, a lot of new non-relational databases have cropped up both inside and outside the cloud. One key message this sends is, “if you want vast, on-demand scalability, you need a non-relational database”.

Bugtracking Systems
I quickly evaluated 5 bug tracking systems and picked up BugGenie.
Trac - No multi-project support out of the box, (& I failed to integrate it with Mercurial).
Redmine - Supports multiple projects and looks pretty good. Hard to install & therefore maintain, I tried the Bitnami Stack but, failed to integrate Mercurial Repositories (Need to revisit this though)
Mantis - Looked as primitive as a dinosaur after looking at Trac/Redmine and there is no ready help any where within, you need to visit external manuals/help pages to actually use it.
Fossil - I love this one, I am impressed, very good to manage a project or 2 with a bunch of people involved (Would be my first choice for personal projects). What’s lacking is the ability to manage multiple projects requiring me to add & manage users separately for each project, Has RSS feeds but I need email notifications, It also doesnt support attaching files to tickets at this point of time (this is needed for attaching logs/screenshots).
BugGenie - Easy to setup, is intutive to use, ajax based UI (doesnt make you hop pages to do things), supports multiple projects and it is easy to manage (Users, Projects, Issues, …). I almost never had to visit an external manual/help pages to get going with this one.

Fossil is fresh breeze
A day after my struggle to integrate Mercurial with Trac & Redmine my friend sent me a link to Fossil and boy! it is a beauty. You just have one file to download (just one executable file) and that’s it you have a DVCS, Wiki, Ticketing & Source Browser working out of the box seamlessly, it is simple & beautiful.
After evaluating it for a day these are a few things I wish Fossil had:
- Notifications to users when tickets are added, changed, closed etc.
- Ability to attach files to tickets (logs, screen-shots etc).
- Way to do things without having to go to the command prompt (IDE integration / Tortoise-FSL like Tortoise-SVN)
- Tools to migrate from/to other repositories

Got a hang of how to control read/write access to repositories & users through hgrc configuration.
Roughly speaking, you can put me in the league of Pashupati & Pan. Otherwise I am a button-pusher (who is often wood-sick).
