I posted these two in my daily links, but I bet most of you don’t read it or even know about it. But these two are worth a post of their own. If you tab often, then you’d want to check these out.
foXpose is for Firefox what the brilliant Expose is to the Mac. You click Shift+Ctrl+X, and it shows you the content of all your tabs so you can navigate to the tab you’re looking for.
Or if you want to see what’s hidden behind each tab without blowing them all up, you can use Tab Preview, which shows an image of the page as you hover over the tab.
Update: And I’ve just discovered Tab Sidebar, a nifty extension that makes all your tabs available in the sidebar. You get a thumbnail of each page, and buttons to close, refresh and navigate these pages without having to open them up. For someone who uses tabs a lot, all I can say is Wow!
Both require FireFox 1.5.

> Building accessibility URLs is easy with a function that returns an URL from the given arguments. It converts the parsed arguments and returns a complete url string. This way you always have consistent urls no matter what your data looks like. If you prefer FriendlyURLs it returns /articles/test/page/2 if not it returns articles=test&page=2.

The short (and unflattering): [Gizmo](http://www.gizmoproject.com/) is an alternative to [Skype](http://www.skype.com/).
The long (and flattering): Sleek UI. Free VoIP, voicemail and conf calls. More features than Skype. Cheaper calling rate in the US. Support for SIP, so you can talk with other SIP users, not just within the closed network. And granted, Skype has a really huge network, but open networks scale better.

Given:
- XML documents,
- a certain manner of representing them, and
- certain desired operations,
the very basic questions arise, “How fast is it?” and “How much space does it take?” This paper attempts to provide accessible yet specific answers to these questions.
