My two-year-old, who normally eats very little if anything at all, just ate three pancakes! I also had some, and I must admit that they were awfully tasty. We ate them all up in one sitting!

With the ideas, help, and suggestions of some very smart folks, I’ve been able to put together a userscript that displays whether jQuery is used on the current page—along with version—and can also load jQuery into the current page by clicking the indicator if jQuery is not already present.

Microsoft would like us to believe it can help us “See How Windows Server 2008 Stacks up versus Linux.” Let me see, how can I can sum up the entire site for you…
Ah, yes…that does the trick.

I had to search my desktop files and email history for forty minutes before I turned this up:
var rfc2822 = /^[\w!#$%&'*+/=?^`{|}~-]+(?:\.[\w!#$%&'*+/=?^`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])*)+\.(?:[a-z]{2,4}|museum|travel)$/i;

I wasn’t getting enough sleep or anything done around the corners of my life, so I created a blog. I figured it was the most productive thing I could do with my free time.
I read somewhere–was it V?–who said something to the effect that bad writers create a blog so that they can pretend that they’re working on their writing. Good for them.

So why am I here? Well, because I have something to say. Not right now, mind you, but in general, I do. I think the world is a messed up place, and not for (all of) the same reasons that everyone else seems to think it is.
More importantly, I need a place to collect my thoughts because I keep losing the slips of paper. No, that’s only partially true. I don’t usually lose the scraps: I either forget about them or find them while sifting through old junk but the pencil lines are difficult to read. This way, at least, I have a semi-permanent place to keep all my stuff so I can search it without getting dust up my nose.
Okay, seal’s broken. Next post might be more meaningful.
