IEs4Linux is already a few months old, but I’ve just come across it just recently. Previously, I’m running IE6 by using winetools on wine20050524. This time, with the advent of Wine 0.9x, somebody made the effort of creating a script for installing multiple IEs on Wine. Works with PCLinuxOS with Wine 0.91, though with some small problems initially.

Technorati has just announced some service improvements. One thing I’ve noticed is the bumped up results for the peopletools keyword. The following are additional blogs I’ve found (in addition to what psguyblogger already mentioned):

Other interesting blogs but not too much into technical tips:

Tyler Hall has come up with a clever way to streamline edits for CSS constants (same styles repeated in different ids and classes) using PHP.
What’s more interesting though is the activity in the comments. It turned out that suggested technique has a security hole at the time the story made it to the front page of digg.com, in which the author has arrived at a pretty good tip. I’ll make it point to remember that too. ;)
Another interesting technique pointed out in the discussion is the CSS-SSC work by Shaun Inman. Thoughts by Eric Meyer.
