The Fifth Gift. A Sci-Fi story that, to quote one of the comments, "sort of reminds me of a certain genre of 50's-era SF -- not the greatest writing in the world, to be sure, but engaging."
To be fair, I hate writing that's too pretentious, and love engaging short stories, so I really liked this story.
Ooh, he's stuck a novel online too. Neat.

A thought provoking article on the man behind the creation of the Neutron bomb.
Far from being designed to kill people and leave the buildings intact for the Americans; it was designed to kill soldiers in a military base, without causing fallout, or killing those near the blast zone, or ruining civilian infrastructre (causing people to be forced to drink out of sewers).

I realised yesterday that I never put up links to the software I use to create my photo album I'm deliberately not posting a link to it, to protect the innocent (and me).

I have written a file renamer for photos, but I started to tinker with it. Thinking about making it more flexible. Before I started I looked to see if any else had and
this file renamer is pretty damn flexible. In advanced mode it's got the most complicated UI I've seen, but it's still quite intuitive.

J Album is a Java Photo Album maker. The main reason I chose it is because I need the site to be just plain static HTML pages, with no database.
That doesn't do it justice. It's incredibly versatile. Even if I move to a dynamic album, I'll probably still use JAlbum to rotate the originals (without changing the last modified date), and create the scaled originals (with watermarks).
You can choose whether to link to the originals, copies of the originals, or scaled copies. That's if you want thumbnails. The templating is incredible rich, and it comes with several examples. You can choose the size and quality of any of the images. If you're scanning subdirectories for photos, you can tell it to ignore some. You can write comments for each picture.
Best of all it's cross platform, and free.

Then I SFTP upload it all to ... Oops nearly linked it there. :)
