Use Eric’s Popup window Generator to easily add popup windows to your site! The windows are activated by clicking on a link, and can be fine tuned in every aspect, such as dimensions, scrollbars, toolbar etc. Awesome tool.

Jason @ JPlay has written a great tutorial on how to add a user comment to the pop-up send-link hack. I’ve gotten multiple requests for this, so I’m sure it will interest many readers. Thanks, Jason!

I found a nifty tutorial on Using Microsoft’s XMLHTTP Object to Get Data From Other Web Pages at 4GuysFromRolla.com that might interest some readers. And over at ASP101.com there is a lesson on creating a shopping cart in ASP for your small business web site.

How sour sweet music is
When time is broke and no proportion kept!
So is it in the music of men’s lives.

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me
For now hath time made me his numbering clock;
My thoughts are minutes.

I found the mack-daddy of all bookmarklets at webgraphics this evening. This just absolutely rocks:

Try it and see!

Teambilly shows you how to send Netscape 4.x users to an alternate page. This is terrific. He even has a nice little message that explains to them what dorks they are.

Several people have asked me how to add random text strings to a web page, so I thought I’d write a little tutorial. All you need is a text editor and a web site. If you publish your own blog, I’m sure you’ll be able to do this. If you follow these simple instructions, you should be able to add the same feature to your web site.

I am by no means an expert on the subject, and there may be better ways to do this, but it has worked for me. If you have suggestions or improvements, please let me know.

So … I’ve changed so much of this site in the last few hours it’s not even funny. The css (Cascading Style Sheet) was revised and updated. There are actually now five distinct style sheets. Choose which one you like best! (The choices are in the sidebar.) I also modified a hunka buncha the javascript, took all of it from the individual pages and crammed it into one juicy .js file. I’ve stolen from bratta.com and scottandrew.com. Visit them for goodies.

I found a script at Dreamhost to make it snow on the page. Let’s see if it works.

Way cool: I found an article at 4GuysFromRolla.com that describes how to use Microsoft’s XMLHTTP object to get data from other web pages. You can create a custom Internet Movie Database search machine with this information … very interesting …
