Fun

I was writing some code to react at a textarea.onKeyUp. I take the size of the current textarea.val().length, update an element and do some other stuff. yawn The first version of the code looked like: 1 2 3 4 $('#message').keyup(function(e){ $('#chars_num').html( new_len ); $('#sms_num').html( Math.floor($('#message').val().length / 161) +1) ); }); Working good, but was clearly slow: every keystroke was “giving back the cursor” too slowly for a fast typer like me. I went to take a look at twitter, and their text box was WAY FASTER. ...

I know I’ll now have some problems for posting this, but I can’t deny that it is VERY FUNNY!!! It’s a blog, with daily comic-strips about a very particular “couple”: Jesus and Mohammed. The blog is entitled: Jesus and Mo. I was unable to find the name of the author (what a surprise), but I really don’t care. Is he American, Saudi, Egyptian, Iraqi, Thai, Chinese or Napolitan? I really don’t care, as long as the strips are smart and funny. ...
