MooTools

MooTools - JavaScript Framework

If you are looking for an Object Oriented javascript framework then MooTools is for you. It is similar to Prototype and Scriptaculous but I feel MooTools is extremely well documented, more flexible and customizable and easy to use. It is compatible with IE6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Camino browsers.

If you are new to MooTools, and need a guide to help you along the way, I recommend you to check out MooTools documentation. The documentation is extensive and it includes

Mootools is released with the Open Source MIT license, which permits you to use it and modify it in every scenario.

Overall MooTools makes your life a lot more easier and your coding style way cooler.

Make ur files immutable

Sometimes you delete important files and folders accidentally and are not able to recover them. For this Linux has a great capacity to secure your valuable information by making ur files immutable which even root user cant delete.

Linux ships with a tool called chattr which can be used for this purpose.

To make your “MyFolder” immutable use the following command,

# chattr +i MyFolder

After successfully completing the command, your folder will become immutable and even the root user will not be able to delete the folder. To change its mode so that you can remove it, use the below command,

# chattr -i MyFolder.

Stikkit

Stikkit - online web based simple note taker.

Stikkit makes organizing your daily details as simple as jotting down a note or firing off email. Stikkit's "little yellow notes that think" talk to the productivity applications you already use, as well as to friends, coworkers and family, giving you a universal remote for your life.

The interesting thing is it parses the content of the notes that you type. So if you jot any address it will be automatically added in your address book or if you type a date/time an event will be created and will be displayed under My Calendar tab. Also any bulleted item goes onto your todo list. Thats really coool.
