I just installed graphite/statsd for production use. I'm really happy with it, but one of my co-workers asked me if there was a way to make it look prettier. Honestly, I can't say that I haven't wonder the same.
Are there alternatives to the Graphite UI that do a better job rendering data, perhaps using one of the awesome frontend graphing libraries and http push?

Try Grafana
It has a very nice UI and advanced dashboard and graph editing features. Very simple to install.

On the latest Graphite docs page, there is a list of tools which work with Graphite. For reference, here are the ones which seem to be prettification-based:
Charcoal
Descartes
GDash
Giraffe
Graphitus
Graph-Explorer
Graphene
Graphiti
Graphsky
Pencil
Tasseo
Additional interesting resources:
Graphitoid: (an Android-App dashboard)
Graphitejs: (a jQuery plugin for making/displaying Graphite graphs)
Seyren: (an alerting dashboard for Graphite)
For details on each one, check out their pages, or take a look at the description on the first link I added, for the Graphite docs page.

If you don't want to code up your own frontend, you can use Graphiti. It is simple to use and looks great!

A-ha! I did some googling and found Cubism.js which does exactly what I need.
It has integrated support for graphite and provides the necessary graphing components (as a plugin to D3) to create beautiful real-time dashboards.

I can see this is a bit old, but thought I'd add to it for future prosperity:
I went through a few of the options listed in #troy's response (and a few others). You can see my impressions in my blog post

You can try Graphene which is a layer above Graphite:

Anyone tried Orion? Seems to be a good option but overlooked so far.

I want to be able to contribute to Google Translate on my native language (Sinhala).
Although there is an online portal (http://translate.google.com/community/) where we can contribute to the translator by translating new phrases or validating existing translations, I would like to create my own, lightweight portal (maybe an Android app) for the contribution service. However, I was unable to find any public API for the translate contribution platform, despite a thorough Google search and a full search through the Google Translator Toolkit API forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!categories/translator-toolkit-api) (which seems to have been closed down since the end of 2012).
Currently my best hope is to mimic the request-response sequence followed by the online portal itself. For example, the following request is used by the online portal to fetch a question list for manual translation:
GET http://translate.google.com/community/question_list?sl=en&tl=si&client=t
However, it requires that all the related cookies are properly initialized and passed with the request, which would probably not be easy to mimic in a non-browser environment (such as an Android app). Hence I believe there's a better approach (maybe a yet undocumented API?) somewhere out there.
Does anyone know of any API for accessing this translation contribution feature?
Thanks in advance.
Please note: I am NOT looking for a way to improve Google Translate itself, but for contributing to the actual translation content as described under "How can I help?" in the Google Translate Community FAQ (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwS4CZzgZwmvoB9pAx4A6Yytmv7itk_XE968RMiqpMY/pub#h.e1ahmpftpdum).
P.S. I was initially planning to post this question on the Web Apps Stack Exchange, but after reading this post I decided to first try it here.
I'm one of the engineers behind Translate Community and I'm really excited that you want to see it on more platforms. We're currently under active development of the site and making it more accessible on mobile platforms without having to create dedicated native apps.
For the time being, we don't anticipate releasing a public API as the platform is under active development. Until we do release a public API, please don't use any http commands you find to create a separate app. Instead, just let us know how we can make the app a better experience for you and we'll work on making it better.
Thanks!

I'm teaching a lecture about APIs and would love to find a nice, free, Web-based tool to "browse" open REST APIs in a generic way, rendering XML and/or JSON payloads to the screen and speculatively turning anything that looks like a hyperlink into a hyperlink. So, for example, I could point it to:
http://services.healthindicators.gov/v4/REST.svc/IndicatorDescription/3/IndicatorDescriptionDataCategories/1
and see a nicely-rendered version of the data with clickable links.
Anybody know of a useful resource?
The Apigee Console is great. It supports a number of predefined APIs and a generic mode for any API. Apigee has a nice snapshot feature where you can make a request and then send a link to anyone and they can view the request/response you made.
There is also Hurl but it isn't always working.
I really like the Chrome HTTP Dev Client for exploring REST API's. Works great!
I use XML Tree for Chrome.
Highlights and formats XML and has the option to turn URLs into links.

This is an interesting way to show web api's

Anyone happen to know what happened to the Doctrine docs for 1.x? Going through their official documentation page (have to scrolldown to 1.2), and clicking any of the documentation links results in a 404. I have also noticed that several google searches for 1.x docs are doing the same.
Did Doctrine recently change doc structure and forget to update? Or is this their way of telling us to upgrade to 2.x?
-- Update (3.9.2012) --
It appears that Doctrine was in the middle of moving their documentation to GitHub. Some of the links mentioned in OP are now resolving to https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine1-documentation.
-- Update (3.20.2012) --
Looks like some of the documentation has been ported over to their ReadTheDocs portal. Much cleaner interface than browsing the raw .txt files.
According to this thread on github, the powers that be are aware of the problem and should be fixing it soon. Someone posted a link to a cached version of the docs, which works well in the interim.
The current situation is that I'm porting the docs over to reStructuredText on a fork of the official doctrine1-documentation. This is the version you can see over at ReadTheDocs.
The idea is to eventually end up with a reST version of the entire manual, at which point the documentation can be PR'd back into the official repo, built by the same system that builds Doctrine2's documentation, and end up back on the official Doctrine site.
In the meantime, some chapters are nice and easy to read, like Defining Models, while others have yet to receive fixed markup. Help with fixing it all up is welcome (fork).

What are the best free uml drawing tools?
All the ones I have found require membership payments and only offer limited functionality based to public users on a trial basis...rubbish!
For my (very simple) needs I used ArgoUML. I'm not an expert about, but I found it enough easy to use. It's open source and, on the web page, you can find a good user guide.
Have a look at StarUML ( http://staruml.sourceforge.net/en/ )
It's free, open source, and incredibly fully featured.
For a full list, check out the ones marked as Open Source here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools
But I'd really recommend StarUML!
For my first two software engineering courses, I used the stand alone version of UMLet, but it is just for diagrams. It exports to standard graphics, or pdf. They also have an eclipse plugin version, but I never used it.
For a no frill drawing tool, I find Google Docs (drawings) pretty good. Note that printing works better under Mozilla than Chrome, strangely enough. In Chrome, I cannot get dashed lines to print.
Try UMLet. Supports Eclipse IDE.

This weekend I installed Windows 7 (brilliant!) and there I found this genious tool called Problem Steps Recorder. Apparently a tool that came with the beta bug reporting tool thingy.
I am currently trying to document some application usages for other developers. (In this exact case, how to get Showplan XML Statistics in SQL Profiler and some basic usage of Database Engine Tuning Advisor). And I was thinking that a tool like that Problem Steps Recorder with be perfect for this! Only problem is that it is only in windows 7 (?) and the output is an mht file which also contains some general bug issue text etc...
Anyways, does anyone know if this tool is available in a more general version? Or if there are some free and smooth alternatives which does kind of the same thing for Vista (and other windows versions if possible)?
Maybe Wink is your answer.
I'm looking for a better capture tool for both user documentation and reporting bugs. The best "steps recorder" that I've seen is bundled with Testuff. Their Test Runner app lets you select a region to record (video). It captures every mouse click and logs every key press along side the video playback. Of course, it's designed only for reporting bugs to a development team.
I'm still using SnagIt (cheap, not free) for capturing screens and adding annotations. I also have Camtasia, but that's definitely not "free" as you requested :)
I just stumbled upon 'Imago recorder', available via various software / download sites. It's not pretty but it does the trick and it's free.
It's currentyl available here
Additional option you should definitely pay attention to is StepsToReproduce. There are several options for recording (screen/window/region) and nice powerful annotation tools. And it's also free!
