After the initial photographs of the swimming Bengal Tiger named Odin the photographers have rushed to Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. Below is a link to a photo gallery from one of the main newspapers in Norway displaying this nice little “kitten”. So the next time you go for a swim sharks may not be the first thing that comes to mind…

Return of the worlds toughest swimming Bengal Tiger!

Full Page Test - How it works

The Full Page Test loads a complete HTML page including all objects (images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes). It mimics the way a page is loaded in a web browser.

The load time of all objects is shown visually with time bars.

Simply type in the URI of the web page you want tested on Pingdom Tools full page test tools page.

You can view the list of objects either in load order or as a hierarchy. The hierarchy view allows you to see which objects are linked to for example a CSS file.

Every test also shows general statistics about the loaded page such as the total number of objects, total load time, and size including all objects.

This Full Page Test was inspired by the OctaGate SiteTimer. We liked what they did and wanted to take the idea one step further.

Note: The current version doesn’t load objects included in JavaScripts. There’s also a limit on the number and size of the objects that are loaded (to prevent the tool from downloading movies, for example).

Before his sentencing earlier this year on a felony burglary conviction, Andrew McCormack filled out a form which asked for a “recommendation as to what you think the Court should do in this case.” The Montana man, 20, wrote, ” Like the Beetles (ops!) say, ‘Let It Be.’ “

Well, that response did not sit well with Gregory Todd, a 56-year-old District Court judge (and a strong Beatles fan). In a sentencing memorandum, a copy of which you’ll find below, Todd first corrected McCormack’s misspelling and then schooled the young defendant on the band’s discography. But in the end, Todd sentenced McCormack to just three years probation, and ordered him to perform community service and pay a fine.

My father used to say “Don’t stop until you’ve crossed the finish line!”.  This dude would’ve benefited from having a father like mine (and been able to listen to him).

I don’t even feel sorry for him!

There are a ton of free cheat sheets, quick references, and downloadable resources for programming languages and related technologies on-line.

The following post about Essential HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and miscellaneous cheat sheets kind of gathers a lot of the best resources all in one place.

Enjoy!
