Safari screenshots for any Url

Since I've had some problems with Safari compatibility recently, this gets stored in the stash. It wouldn't have helped me, but it's nice to have anyway.

And whatever you do, don't create <img> elements using the DOM constructor:

var blah = new Image();
or you'll hit some cryptic Safari errors (DOM-something 8-something error-something, gee); just use:
var blah = document.createElement("img");
instead.

L#? should I patent M#?

"A powerful lisp-based scripting language for .NET" - now that is what I call a combination.

A nice overview of a common CSS magic tricks.

Wishful thinking out loud: when the browser incompatibilities are long gone and duly forgotten, perhaps we will move on from the hacks and unto some real magic...

Ralph Koster's motivational posters

Geeky pictorial goodness. One of my favourites is the "Eldritch Knight = Paladin for Atheists" one, will post the link and some others when I go through them again... Picked up from his blog.

Nice to know that "Eppur si muove".

99 lisp problems on the wall

Almost as good as beer bottles. Somewhat better than rum kegs.

The programming language that gave me the worst (positive) headache so far. If I ever get nostalgic for that experience, this ought to help somewhat, methinks.

And yes, the hangover fits the metaphor.
