After hiatus, the Friday link dump is back. The primary reason for the big gap was a broken export from my del.icio.us account, probably due to the the change from del.icio.us to delicious.com (i.e. the Yahoo takeover). I’ve created link dumps for the gaps and put them on my wiki. The other reason was my summer vacation and a trip to Colorado for WorldCon 2008. After the cut is the link dump for last week.
