Kuro5hin – December 17, 2003. &nbsp A brief overview of some techniques to block bad crawlers and protect email addresses from spammers.

macosxhints – December 10, 2003. &nbsp You can specify Workgroup (along with user ID) in the SMB connect-to string. For example:

smb://WORKGROUP;machine.somewhere.com/Share

smb://WORKGROUP;User@machine.somewhere.com/Share

smb://WORKGROUP;User:Password@machine.somewhere.com/Share/

Unrelated hint to clear DNS cache: lookupd -flushcache (might need sudo)

Meyerweb –
Multi-level cascading menus without JavaScript using the :hover pseudoproperty of CSS2. Doesn’t work in IE.

Here’s the foundation of this effect:

  li ul {display: none;}

  li:hover ul {display: block;}

Sprinkle a little positioning on top of that, so that the popout menus go where you want them, and you’re in business.
