to Code Snippets. :) Blatant ad, I know.

check out http://www.koders.com/ http://www.codefetch.com/ http://www.codase.com/ http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/ and http://swik.net/ sometime.. plenty of source code out there to learn from.

It's not exactly a "community" in the "let's all chat" sense, but a community has sprung up on Code Snippets, a tagged 'del.icio.us for source code'.. most notably around Python coding on cellphones. But there's over a thousand users so something was bound to spring up.

http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/ seems to be catching on a bit.

If it's not sensitive, and I wouldn't mind people using it, I like to store it on my tagged code snippets site. It helps me find useful bits and pieces again at a later date as I can always remember a word or two which I tagged it with. 1000 other users seem to enjoy it too :) and if you're looking for inspiration you can subscribe via RSS.

I just looked at your site: http://www.bigbold.com/

You might want to make the background colour white to match the gradient image for those of us who have different default bg colours...

Most of this product comparison site was developed in Ruby on Rails within the last two months, and it already does more than Froogle, has more search features, etc.

I've also developed a large marketing system for the restaurant industry in Rails which lets restauranteurs develop e-cards, e-gifts, and send them to their customers on certain days.. or certain days away from their birthdays, etc.. and that will be going fully live soon.

My 10,000 user strong RSS Digest will be making the leap to Rails soon (July 1st) and this is a system driving over half a million uses a day.

I developed a del.icio.us-style tagged Code Snippets site in Rails within two days! It's had further refinements since then, but less than two weeks after launch, it was getting thousands of pageviews a day and hundreds of visitors a day from Google.

I was ready to give up development work 6 months ago, and now it's the most fun and profitable work out there for me. Ruby on Rails deserves the attention it's getting. You can put together your ideas in a fraction of the time you'd have ever imagined.

That inner page of his is like 660KB all in, so I can see this guy's server taking a crunch real soon. His JPEGs were uber-unoptimized, so I've optimized them and put up a temporary mirror so you can all see the joy that is the rotissery scanner :-) It will disappear in a few hours or so.

I just mirrored a news story from the BBC that states Deep Fritz has been destroyed in a possible terrorist attack on the conference. For some reason the BBC removed the story minutes after it was published.
