This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Yet more stupid JavaScript tricks for fun and profit, on the subject of JavaScript and the DOM.

The header of this site now plays a game of Life. Writeup coming when it’s not 2.40am, but for now just take a glance at life.js and life.css for some clues. It’s all unobtrusive, as you might imagine.
Looks better on pages with longer titles, I ought to point out :)

Probando este show haber que tal funciona, me agrada que aparece a un lado lo escrito.

Stan: er, sorry?
Assuming that to be Spanish, the fish thinks that it says “Proving this show to have so it works, pleases me that it appears to a side the writing“, and I can’t quite distil the meaning from that…anyone with a translation? Gladys?

Javascript is powerfull, it is equivalent to Scheme: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/little.html
This page transforms a Scheme program into javascript and runs it live in your browser.

Tobu: I know. You’re talking to a bloke who’s writing a book on it. :)

Doesn’t work properly in IE, either. Oh well.

Sil, I think Stan was talking about the textile live preview—“me agrada que aparece a un lado lo escrito” could mean (freely) “It’s nice that the text appears on the side”.

Ah. Stan, I’m glad you like it! You can get the code from Sam Newman who kindly tidied up my code, made it work a bit better, and released it to the world :)

“It’s all unobtrusive, as you might imagine.”

Unobstrusive? Really? Oh, you mean in the (X)HTML source? :)

sil

Eugene: ha! As in unobtrusive DHTML – I admit that the effect itself is less than invisible :)

Valid HTML5, at least in theory, except for the bits that aren't because I'm that futuristic that I'm ahead of the spec, oh yes. HTML5 help from Bruce Lawson, among others.
