CSS-Discuss Wiki Spam
The css-discuss wiki has pretty much looked after itself since its inception a year and a half ago, thanks to a small but active community of wiki gardeners. Unfortunately, recent months have seen a rise in the amount of SEO spam hitting the site. Spam gets deleted pretty quickly, but there’s always room for more help to provide a faster turnaround. If you run an aggregator and don’t mind spending a minute or so a day tending the wiki you can sign up for the RecentChanges RSS feed and help check over new changes as and when they are made. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Curious Javascript in .NET
I’ve never had the opportunity nor the inclination to do anything with .NET; at work we use open source tools for all of our web development, and I prefer open source tools for my own personal experiments as well. At any rate, the javascript:__doPostBack links I’ve seen on .NET powered sites such as Channel 9 and Orkut plain give me the willies.
