Syntax Highlighting
9 Top Online Syntax Highlighting Sites
Syntax highlighting is very important especially when we want to show our code example in a blog. By enabling the syntax highlighting on the blog, readers can read the code blocks easier.
There are a lot of free and useful syntax highlighting scripts available. Most of the scripts are written using Javascripts, though some of them are powered by other programming languages such as Phyton or Ruby.

Though there are a lot of Syntax Highlighting Scripts that are powered by Javascript, today I am looking at what is available to use online without having to set up your own website or web-page. After about an hour using Goggle, I was able to come up with 9 tools to do the job. I suspect some of these tools use the same engine. Here is what I found.

How do you capture all the stuff that you want to remember?
Just found this great new site. It's called SpringPad. In short, Springpad is a free personal organizer to save and use just about anything — recipes, products, restaurants, ideas, notes, articles, and more.
Some of the things you might want to use SpringPad for:

Cheap Hi-Speed Internet
High-Speed Internet 5Mbps for $18.95 /Month
Looking for a cheap hi-speed internet service. I just came across this service available in Ontario and Quebec. Apparently it's been around for a couple of years. Now offering hi-speed service for only $18.95 /month. With unlimited service and no activation fees. Great if you are into downloading media. No limit on bandwidth and you can get encrypted browsing if you want it Also, 100GB of online storage, SSH tunnels and a FREE static IP address are available. In order to get the $18.95 rate, you have to pre-pay for one year. After that, the rate is $33.95 /month. Still a great deal considering the unlimited bandwidth.
What if you don't have an active Phone Line?
Acanac`s Naked DSL lets you surf the net without having an active phone line. This is great for cell phone users who do not have land lines or Voip users who are tired of paying the big bucks to the major phone providers. All you need for Naked (Dry Loop) DSL is a phone jack. No dial tone is necessary.
