Project: Entityify
In the past, when I wanted to paste a quick IRC transcript, I had to go through and manually convert all of the annoying < and > characters. After unsuccessfully googling for something that would do that for me, I just wrote my own. (As you can probably guess from checking out the post below.)
So check out Entityify if you have need of it. It’s not just nice if you use IRC and blog; it’s also very helpful for posting html code snippets on your web page.
