Seems like GitHub is more set up for collaborative snippets, but I don't use that hippie crap.

I think a link to a set of existing online tools vetted by the CP community would be more helpful. There are several top-notch free online tools available and it would be nice to have a central CP link through which to access them.

I think this would be nice, but there are already this kind of lists (from respectable developers) somewhere else.

I am thinking of doing a HTML5 canvas tool for drawing simple diagram for article. The arrow tool in Paint and Paint.Net does not have the type of arrow I want to draw.

So (in an unrelated, yet tangential story )
I was playing with my 2.5 year old son - and he put a towel over his head pretending to be a Ghost.
So in that way 2 and a half year olds talk - he ran around going "woooooo I'm a teary ghost"
Ahem he meant of course he was a "Scary Ghost". But it was cute as all heck
So, being a kiwi - I gave him a rugby ball and told him to harden up and practice his off hand spiral pass. "You've poms to smash when you get older".

then I showed him google and we sat down and found out that 2.5 year olds dont need to work.
Then we discovered that Kiwis in Australia have a lower unemployment rate than those born here and that they earn on average more.
Then we learnt about the disparities between how NZ treats Australians vs how Australia treats kiwis.

It seems that every time I turn around there is a child handing me a toy. The response is always the same. No thanks I don't want it.
Over Christmas my mother outlaw handed me a Barbie doll and just look at me without an expression, so I thought quickly, she stuffing with me, I'll fix her, so I rip up Barbie dress and closely check out her under wear, without thinking I came up with, now I know why Ken seams gay, Barbie has a bulge?

I found with one cat that the best place was my Epson scanner / printer.
Of course, that meant I couldn't use it as a scanner or a printer because:
1) You can't raise the lid to scan when the cat is sleeping on it.
2) As soon as it starts to move the paper the cat attacks it, and shredded paper doesn't print well.
and
3) It won't print anymore because it is gummed up with fur, flea droppings, and cat dribble. 
The current one has his own cat bed on a table next to my desk, which he is very happy with, provided it has one of my jumpers in it...

Gawd I wish it was! Trouble is he's a predator, so he gets bird fleas, mouse fleas, squirrel fleas, dog and fox fleas...I suspect he has had a few pterodactyl fleas as well on occasion judging by the size of the buggers.
The cat gets flea-drops-on-the-back-of-the-neck once a month (a couple of days after his worm tablet), he gets groomed with a flea comb once a day, and the house gets sprayed with anti-flea insecticide (RIP Flea) twice a year.
Last summer I still had to hoover my office chair every morning before I say down because I replaced it with a brown leather one which showed all the eggs where he slept on it for an hour or so each night...
I finally abandoned the flea drops from the vet (Frontline Combo) and went to internet bought (Advantage) and not only saved £100 a year but brought the problem down to manageable proportions - a couple a day at most, mostly dead already.

When my cat got fleas, I tried the drops behind the neck, but they did absolutely nothing.
What worked for me was a product that's a moist towelette soaked in insecticide. I wiped her down one or two times, and she was completely free of fleas!

The only reason I don't use that is grooming: my family always used flea powder which is much the same effect and a few of the cats had a bad reaction when they swallowed it. The drops are absorbed by the skin from an area the cat can't groom and continue to poison the blood sucking elephants for a few weeks after application.
But Frontline was as useless as you say - I switched to Advantage after advice from the purveyor of flea combs that it was working this year while the other wasn't.
But...if it works for you!

Picture this: Christmas Day, and I'm running to schedule for getting the dinner done: Turkey in Sous Vide, Potatoes in the fridge, one of the stuffings ready, other in progress, pudding ready to go on to steam, starter not started, loads left to do.
In comes Dij looking very happy with himself. And drops his prey in the kitchen. A mouse. A live mouse. Which (understandably) runs away as fast as it's little legs will carry it...
After an exhaustive search it was located inside one of the wheels of the carpet cleaner and firmly ejected from the house...
Just what I needed, really!
