Wow August was packed. I’ve trimmed off all but my best bookmarks for this one.

Hope you find some gems in here. If there was one that I missed, please link to it in the comments (unless of course it’s Google Chrome)!

Bash

• Keyboard Shortcuts for Bash [the How-To Geek] – I have found many of the shortcuts here really helpful and it has totally made me more productive.

CSS

• Override Inline Styles from the Stylesheet [Standards for Life] – Natalie Jost came up with a brilliant way to override inline styles from a stylesheet for IE7+, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. You’ll definitely want to save this technique for later. I wonder if this will work for Google Chrome…
• 7 Principles Of Clean And Optimized CSS Code [Smashing Magazine] – Some very good things to consider while writing and maintaining your CSS. I agree with most of these and I think they are good advice.
• Date Badges and Comment Bubbles for Your Blog [CSS-Tricks] – Joost de Valk’s guest post on CSS-Tricks is a really nice way to add a bit of eye candy to your blog.

Firefox

• Auto Dial [Firefox Add-ons] – This is definitely an add-on to watch. Taking ideas from Aza Raskin and perhaps the Aurora team, it fills blank tabs with useful bits like your most visited sites and has much more potential. I can’t wait to see where it goes.
• Firefox Accessibility Extension [Firefox Add-ons] – I happened upon this great extension this month and have found it very useful for helping make my sites more usable. If you do web development I suggest you give this a try.
• Ubiquity [Mozilla Labs] – OK, you probably did see this a week ago but I had to include it in the list because Ubiquity is just frickin’ cool!
• Tracing the Web [Andreas Gal] – A very informative post about TraceMonkey, a JIT compiler for Javascript in Firefox (should be in version 3.1). I agree with Steve Yegge here that Javascript may be the next popular language, stay tuned folks.

Software

• UNetbootin [Sourceforge] – Another mindlessly easy way to try out Ubuntu Linux, this time on a USB drive. I wonder how well it’d work with my iPod…

Javascript

• Periodical Ajax Requests Using MooTools 1.2 [david walsh blog] – David presents a really simple (and hence maintainable) way to use MooTools for periodical ajax.
