Image via Wikipedia

I find this so utterly amazing even though people here tell me it&#8217;s not that hard to do. You can now search CCed Flickr photos by colour - this might probably be the easiest way to get to photos to use on mock-ups, much better than search where you have to rely on [...]]]></description>

		<title>How jQuery.windowName.plugin works</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to share a bit on how the window.name transport plugin for jQuery works, so developers in the crowd can find their way around the code and that you can understand what is going on and where can it break.
How it works
The plugin hijacks the $.ajax function and will do its magic when you’re [...]]]></description>

After a week of mostly testing and fine-tuning the code I finally released the windowName transport plugin for jQuery. You can get the plugin here but I suggest you first check the plugin page.
I need help testing

As nowadays less and less development goes on in Internet Explorer and the versions that are currently available and widely used have some quirks — to be fair they are by the book and others aren&#8217;t — I&#8217;m starting this post to have a list of stuff that you need to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Undocumented jQuery constructor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In jQuery it is possible to create nodes in a foreign document by calling jQuery('&#60;div&#62;sample html&#60;/div&#62;', foreignElement.ownerDocument);. If somebody documented this I wouldn&#8217;t have lost the last hour or so.
This is why I like wiki style documentation.

Just now the chief of Slovenian Police (about 10.000 employees according to their website) said that he cannot be held responsible for a thing that a guy 20 levels below him did wrong while talking about Slovenian Interpol not responding to an Austrian Interpol request within a year.
Funny - while working at Parsek [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lure me in with the music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia While shopping today it struck me that you can also choose your clientele with the music you play in a shop. Or inadvertently repulse shoppers if an aggressive young shop assistant plays music that customers don&#8217;t like. This made me think that I&#8217;m not in the demographic of Jack &#38; Jones Jones [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discovering Greasemonkey again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia I&#8217;ve been rediscovering the joy of Greasemonkey scripts lately. For those who don&#8217;t know, Greasemonkey is one of the best extensions for Firefox ever made (the other being Zemanta of course:) that allows you to run JavaScripts on specified pages. This doesn&#8217;t really mean much to the non-technical crowd, but to us [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s mostly a bugfix release on the front-end part while there are quite a few fascinating developments on the back end. The first one is that we now suggest CrunchBase links to companies and people and we also suggest images to go with that. [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s say you have 10 divs that you attach to and 10 elements that you need to attach. In the &#8220;normal&#8221; case this means you will call appendChild 100 times and cloneNode 100 times. In the &#8220;fragment&#8221; case you [...]]]></description>
