While browsing some (very common) 3rd party Javascript code this morning, I came across this little gem of logic and almost fell off my chair laughing…
document.write('\n <NOSCRIPT>\n ... snip by frequency decoder ... </NOSCRIPT>\n');
I’m lost for words here… # ~ (0) 27·08·08
For no reason in particular (apart from me loving the song), here’s The Cure, “A Forest” – both the original video (featuring a young Robert Smith without makeup) and a live version (featuring a slightly older Robert Smith wearing just a little makeup).
It’s amazing how the song has held-up after all these years.

Aaahhhh, the joy! Message To Bears a.k.a. Jerome Alexander is re-releasing his stunning debut E.P. through Dead Pilot Records.
Electronica that doesn’t make me wince.

I recently wanted to fix a few bugs within last years slider experiment but, as my coding style has changed so dramatically over the past year (believe me, I’ve learned a lot in the past year and find it hard to even look at my old code), I ended up rewriting the entire thing from scratch.

I’m currently away on vacation so comments have been temporarily turned off to stop me having to deal with deleting (the inevitable) four-thousand spambot attempts that have accumulated in the moderation queue.

For the more adventurous of you, here’s a list of upcoming lab updates that are currently sitting on my hard-disc:

The Spanner has found a nifty way of double-encoding JavaScript which allows multiple types of encoding without performing eval twice on the string (by using the relatively unknown “Script” function). # ~ (0) 09·07·08
