This here is a script that will put the code of all scripts and stylesheets into a single variable. Usage:
PLAIN TEXT
JAVASCRIPT: yoink(function(all) { console.log("scripts", all.scripts); // string array console.log("stylesheets", all.stylesheets); // string array });
As you can see, you have to provide a callback because this stuff is asynchronous. It downloads the files one at a time [...]

One of the projects I wanted to work on in my time off was WebWait.
It finally does what I wanted it to do all along: Permanently record benchmarks. You can get a unique URL for each benchmarking session you run by hitting Save. Funny - WebWait was running as a Rails app for several years, [...]
G'Day, here's a new tiddlywiki plugin I've been working on: InfoBoxPlugin. It's based on the equally-monikered infoBox in MediaWiki/Wikipedia, which you'll see in any article that is marked "current event" or "controversial", for example, on the big W. I find infoBoxes elegant, as they are unobtrusive enough to let you get on reading the article, [...]

To simplify TiddlyGuv message rendering, I made "SimpleMessagePlugin". It removes the message box 1 second after a message was shown (using displayMessage). In the event another message appears in that time, it appends the message (as it normally does) and extends the message box's lifetime by a second. In other words, it always closes a [...]

This article by Nick Zakas, covering some technical issues in iframe loading, triggered me to surface a JQuery IFrame plugin I made a little while ago, which supports loading IFrames. (I did tweet it at the time, though I've since changed the location.)

The plugin basically tells you, the programmer of the parent [...]

This has been a while coming, but I made a little "yet another modal dialog lightbox JQuery plugin" thing this week.
Demo and Download for Modal Dialog - JQuery Plugin
It was driven by TiddlyDocs, but I've been wanting one anyway for a while. Mostly because lightbox libraries generally do some hocus-pocus on page load, like applying [...]
Tonight, I was thinking of making a Twitter app to manage my various accounts (I have ~dormant accounts related to projects like @webwait and @listoftweets). The app would be holding username and password details for each of these accounts, so it made sense to build it as a Single Page Application (SPA). This way, a [...]

About a year ago, I was excited to discover ColourLovers had an API. There is some great data about colours and palettes on that site, and some great possibilities for mashups - some as general-purpose art projects, and some as tools for designers.
However, I noticed there was no JSON-P interface, so there was no way [...]

I'm pleased to announce a major upgrade to WebWait, the first big upgrade since I launched the site 2.5 years ago. It's based on watching how people are using it, talking about it, and sending me direct feedback about it. Thanks to all who have provided feedback.
The new features are:
Multiple sites You can [...]

TiddlyWeb-JQuery Comments Plugin - Screencast @ Vimeo
I've extracted from Scrumptious a nested comments plugin you can integrate into any POJA (plain ol' Javascript app). You can find it here in the repo: TiddlyWeb-JQuery Comments Plugin.
As the README explains, usage is a one-liner once you've set it up. Just do $(selector).comments("topic"). The topic is an identifier [...]
