etherpeg
Simon points to EtherPEG, a neat little Mac utility that sniffs the local network & displays all the JPEGs (and GIFs) being transferred. I'm almost afraid to use it at work, as I probably don't want to know what these guys are looking at.

screen
Via Torrez, Kuro5hin has a nice intro to the GNU screen utility. I spend a good bit of my day on the command line, and have been meaning to check this out. I currently use iTerm & just open a few tabs to emulate screen's multiplexing, but what's mentioned in the K5 article that I missed skimming screen's man page is that screen allows you to abstract the terminal from your processes. That is, you can shut down screen & log out without affecting the programs you're running, and log back in—even from another location—and pick up where you left off.

rental damage
If you know anybody who owns rental property, you've probably heard horror stories about tenants tearing up the place and/or skipping out on rent. Well, I'm too tired to tell the story, but these photos should speak for themselves.

compressing css with php
Interesting weblog entry about using PHP's ob_gzhandler to compress style sheets, for those who can't take advantage of Apache's mod_gzip or mod_deflate. I'd like to see some benchmarking to give an idea of the file size threshold at which the overhead makes sense, but it's definitely a good one for the toolbox.
