Commentosphere - Name, URL, Some Other Thoughts
I see an additional possible problem with the solution, which is, on the other hand, addressable by a slight change of algorithm. Busy-looping in an event handler in wait of some other asynchronous event (which might even fail) is a source of pain and tro

Excellent. I'm looking forward to an appropriately proud / happy announcement post on it when it does. :-)<br><br>Most of the Ning applications I would like to write really need that initial import stage to shave down the adoption threshold for previous u

Being the boyfriend of when life seems like that is one of the better sides to being-boyfriend-ness; you should consider borrowing one and feel really childishly spoiled for a while. It does lots of good to the little mushy person deep inside, that just w

Damnit! Here you’re talking about character classes far outside of a RegExp context! Get a hold of yourself! ;-)
Mindsack » Blog Archive » Dynodes: Cross-Domain Scripting using Dynamic Node Creation
I've thought that same thought, but so far, Del.icio.us have not implemented the <a href="http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2005/12/designing-useful-json-feeds.html">JSON callback design</a>. Let's hope they do sometime soon.

Is the reason behind your mouse in/hover/out cycle just your way of circumventing the lack of a trustworthy onload event (without callback aid from the remote script), or does it circumvent some <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components

I'd argue that is better to write your ideas down than always implementing them right away; if you have the kind of idea flow I do, you wouldn't have time to implement them all and implement them well, and the latter is worth doing if the idea was worth d
