Prototype grows on me
Usually, these days I add a comment to a Delicious link, building on the mountain of metadata of the commons, but this calls for more verbose plappering: Prototype Meets Ruby: A Look at Enumerable, Array and Hash from the [Encytemedia blog](http://encytemedia.com/blog/), written by Justin Palmer. The [Prototype](http://prototype.conio.net/) Javascript framework implements a lot of the “language …
Jason, the humour man: “A Miguel Morayta Film”
This is a service announcement: Jason has a new Prawnwarp, it became a WordPress. Happy for him. The link above goes to his great Mexican Movie Generator.
Useful Javascript: Prototype for your forms
Proposed subtitle: “Ease into Prototype.” You started using the [Prototype JS lib](http://prototype.conio.net/) everyone was talking about. Everyone was doing AJAX stuff, animating little boxes, and you did not have the time for that. You had a day job. But then one day: a use case appeared. You inserted some stuff in the HTML, in a …

Blogroll: So close to an Australian word
[Dr Dave](http://homepages.cwi.nl/~dave/): “I have your blog in my blogroll. In Australia, bogroll means toiletpaper.” The reason I write this is that I was chuffed to see that my blog is in Mr Lumpley’s [Anyway](http://www.lumpley.com/) blogroll.

Fasterfox: Get performance out of Firefox
My rambling thoughts when riding in the backseat of my uncle-in-law’s car yesterday: “Wouldn’t it be good to have the Google Accelerator in a small way, like local, user-controlled, and… integrated in something I already use?

I like Thunderbird
[Mozilla Thunderbird](http://getthunderbird.com) is a fine email client. It recognizes dumb scams automagically for me.
CakePHP news: Data Bindings v0.1 Example
You might know that I am involved in the [CakePHP framework](http://www.cakephp.org/) project, and I’m developing web sites with it now. On the IRC channel today, I was alerted to the existence of the Bindings sister project. Now they have an example up, for all to see. Data Bindings v0.1 Example is a piece of very …
Delicious: Re-use of metadata
I have now added even more stuff to that bloated sidebar of mine. Perhaps you also have a delicious feed, and a WordPress blog? [Grab this plugin](http://www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com/archives/2004/10/15/delisious-cached/) to get started. The folks at Del.icio.us have made it really simple to use their data. Just look at [their documentation of their HTML feeds](http://del.icio.us/help/html). > HTML feeds …
