Web excursions: March 26 — March 28

Links of interest from March 26 through March 28:

• Hacker’s Guide to Tea | World of Tea
  I took the Community Ed course from Mandala Tea, so I knew this stuff. Here it is, though, all put in one great article.
• Use the Bash trap Statement to Clean Up Temporary Files | Linux Journal
  A great little Bash tip for any budding shell scripters. trap has all kinds of possibilities for reducing code and providing better error handling.
• Syntax | kramdown
  A Markdown superset for Ruby which adds–most importantly to me–the ability to set attributes (class, id, etc.) on both inline span and block-level elements.
• S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System
  Really still the best HTML slideshow. I’ve tried a ton now, but I love features like the external note/time HUD.
• CSS3 A practical introduction
  I’m working on rebuilding S5 to use Maruku (Markdown+), HTML5 and CSS3. This site includes most of the tricks I want to do…
• CODE2K:LABS — MailPluginFix
  If you’re like me, Mail.app is only bearable with a few plugins, all of which break when Apple updates OS X. Here’s an easy fix for incompatibility issues that arise.
• Pinboard API (v1) Documentation
  Pinboard finally documented their API!
• Iconara » PHP plist parsing
  Handy rundown on parsing OS X plist files with PHP and XML scripting.
