A few quick links

Honest to god technical content coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy these quick links.

Wonderland: Dance MMO – Just when you thought the MMO craze was winding down and WoW had won.

What else is burried down in the depth’s of Google’s amazing Javascript? – At first I was confused. It looks just like the old hidden frame/iframe technique. But, Alex revealed the difference in the comments.

Scientific American podcast - The podcasts I like are few and far between. I used to subscribe to the SA RSS feed, but the stories in it are usually just milktoast. Maybe the podcast will be better? By the time a scientific paper makes it into SciAm it’s so dumbed down that the original concept is sometimes lost.

Mochikit – “…makes Javascript suck less” Ok, it does a little bit. I think it’s worth using just for the interpreter. Embed that in a page while you’re debugging the javascript.

Now, I’m off to find a network land line to plug my work laptop into. I changed my domain password this morning and now the laptop can’t connect to the wireless network here at work. My guess is that there is a security token somewhere deep within the bowels of my wireless network setup that needs to be updated. The bonus is that after 3 failed authentications, my domain account is disabled. Of course the “connect automaticaly” setting in my wirless settings means I get three failed authentication attempts in about 10 seconds. So I have to stay logged into my desktop until I get the whole mess sorted out. Yay! Oh crap, and a Limp Bizkit song just came on my shuffle. I thought I had hunted down all of those in my collection and erased all but two. Oh well, at least I have a very Metal daughter.
