"pjax loads HTML from your server into the current page without a full reload. It's ajax with real permalinks, page titles, and a working back button that fully degrades." ooh, interesting.
-
"Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it's just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed." Good documentation, lots of neat tricks in here, and some good jumping-off points for further research.

That's a lot more succinct than my version.

"Jammit is an industrial strength asset packaging library for Rails, providing both the CSS and JavaScript concatenation and compression that you'd expect, as well as YUI Compressor and Closure Compiler compatibility, ahead-of-time gzipping, built-in JavaScript template support, and optional Data-URI / MHTML image and font embedding." Looks good.

Puzzle-game, knocked up last week by Increpare, based on kettling.

"Simple javascript (+backend) library for web-annotation". Looks really good.
-
"The jQuery Cycle Plugin is a slideshow plugin that supports many different types of transition effects. It supports pause-on-hover, auto-stop, auto-fit, before/after callbacks, click triggers and much more." It's efficient and well-documented, too. Thumbs up.

"Over on a forum called teamliquid, a user by the name of Lomilar posted a fairly long thread about a program he had written that optimized build orders for the zerg race in starcraft. He eventually cleaned up his code and posted the code to googlecode. The program is called EvolutionChamber (a clever name, as it’s the name of one of the buildings in the game), and it uses genetic algorithms to find build orders. This I had to see." Great analysis of EvolutionChamber. Super-interesting, too, as a concept.

"I think the appeal lies in the keys moving “on their own,” and in the fact that it is in the guise of a familiar object." Nice little project – self-typing typewriter that plays Zork.

"Hannah Montana Linux is a free operating system based on Kubuntu with a Hannah Montana theme." You know you've made it when you've got your own OS.

"Faded is a super simple fading image and content viewer for jQuery. Easy to setup and design to your specifications. Features auto generated pagination, an awesome sequential image loader, some fancy crossfading, essentially no CSS required and a number of custom option for you to set if you like." Looks nicely coded, too; duly noted.

"Building a series of Golf-themed Audio Novels is not the route to financial success." These are all true.

Not a bad list, especially for sites needing hardcore, tight, front-end work, and that are going to face load.

Mitu makes a series of interesting connections here, though the conclusion she came to isn't quite the same as mine – which is in the comments. But there's a mass of starting points here as to notions of the "abstract", and what it might mean for games. Something I shall be returning to, for sure.
-
This is very good: well explained, the right way around of doing things, and some neat tricks to boot.

"That's why guys like Tarn Adams or Vic Davis are a thousand times more interesting. They're making games, not DLC or marketing or anything else. A game, to them, isn't the launching pad. It's the rocket."
-
"So you want a facebox that shows a form which does an asynchronous submission and updates the facebox with the results of the submission showing error or success messages." Yes, I do. This worked. Thanks, Wes Gibbs.

It's a guide to Dudley in SSF4. Looks like a good one, and, given it's a few years since I've played Dudley (and that was in a different game)… much welcome. To read in the near future.
