CSS Prism by Ryan Berg
"So today I’m launching CSS Prism, a CSS color spectrum inspector. Input the path to any .css file, and it’ll output an easy to scan display of all hex colors from the file. Unwanted colors can be edited via a Photoshop-like color picker (using the jQuery color picker) and the resulting .css file can be downloaded for your convenience."

Make your site faster and cheaper to operate in one easy step @ Paul Buchheit
"Is your web server using using gzip encoding? Surprisingly, many are not. I just wrote a little script to fetch the 30 external links off news.yc and check if they are using gzip encoding. Only 18 were, which means that the other 12 sites are needlessly slow, and also wasting money on bandwidth. "
-
Summary:
with gzip: $1.88 for cpu + $43.52 for bandwidth = $45.40 + happier users
without gzip: $174.00 for bandwidth = $128.60 wasted + less happy users -
The other excuse for not gzipping content is that your webserver doesn't support it for some reason. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: put nginx in front of your servers.
