HTML Font Size Conversion
Whilst getting rid of font tags today, I needed an easy reference point to find what size rating in one coding format was equivalent to another (Eg: Is <font size="1"> the same as <span style = "font-size: 8px;"> or... ?) and came across this fantastic chart!

As the link died, here is a version of it hosted on imgur.

How To Rename Google Maps Saved Locations
Whilst saving various places on Google Maps for navigation on my Android phone, I got annoyed that the phone only listed the address (Which gets confusing when you have a list)
To rename them to something more friendy, do the following:
1.) Star a place as per usual.
2.) Browse to https://www.google.com/bookmarks/
3.) Click "Edit" next to the one you want to change.
4.) Change the top line (That currently has the address) to the name you want.
5.) Click "Save"
Your Android device will automatically sync, and you will now see the user-friendly name when navigating :)

Skype - Ultra High CPU Usage
The past few days I've noticed that my office laptops Skype was permanently sitting at +- 90%+ CPU usage. Since I use Skype for work, not using it was not exactly a viable option, and restarting it (And updating to the latest version) didn't help.
I did, however - Find a solution!
1.) Download Process Explorer
2.) Run it
3.) Right click on Skype, and click "Properties"
4.) Click "Threads" (Ignore the potential message about something not being up to date)
5.) Sort by CPU usage by clicking the 2nd tab from the left twice.
6.) Find that a single thread is using all the CPU (For me it was Skype.exe+0x705c although it's also known to be Skype.exe+0x7074)
7.) Click the offending thread, and click "Kill"
Skype's CPU usage will drop to what it's meant to be (0% average for me), with no visible side effects.
Seems like Microsoft have some threading bug with Skype that's existed for awhile :)

Copy.com VS Dropbox.com
I recently got suggested a new Cloud Storage service - Copy
After testing it for about 5 minutes, I give it the following review :)
1.) 15GB Default Storage - Awesome!
2.) The Desktop app seems awesome (Although the 45MB download is a bit overkill) - It's also native x64!
3.) Files can be direct linked - Which is awesome!
4.) HTML files are served as type text/plain intead of text/html- This is a critical fail on Copy's behalf.
Whilst the first 3 are awesome, the 4th is a critical failure, and so I will stick to Dropbox :)

New IRC Client - AdiIRC
Whilst searching around for an IRC client with a native x64 build (Curse you mIRC ;D), I stumbled across AdiIRC.
TINY IRC Client (1MB) that's coded in C#, and 100% Free :D
I'd highly recommend it :)

JavaScript - Regex to format currency
A simple way to format currency! Given a number, format it to a currency-esque format.
number.toFixed(decimalPlaces).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,");
Sample:
Symbol (EG: R, $):
Number (EG: 1234567.50):
Decimal Places (EG: 1, 2, 3 - Probably 2):
number.toFixed(decimalPlaces).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, "$1,");
Sample:
Symbol (EG: R, $):
Number (EG: 1234567.50):
