CSS reset is indispensable in professional web design / front end development to give you a easier starting point in all modern browsers. It reduces your effort to achieve cross-browser consistency, saves time and makes it all easier to debug.
If you haven’t got one yet, I suggest you come up with one for yourself now as it’s really necessary in boosting both your coding productivity and debugibility. Below is what mine looks like.
Crontab is a utility tool on Unix-like OS that enable you to make a program daemon that’s scheduled to run at a specified interval. For example, to fetch for news feed every hour on the hour.

SSI stands for Server Side Includes that is a default module in Apache web server. In essence, it provides a very simple mechanism to include one HTML file in another one, thus tremendously reducing redundant coding and increase the ease of later maintenance.
