• Rendered WGet with Selenium - Ruby - Snipplr
  Selenium is an awesome scraper. This is a simple scraper that performs the same function as WGet or Lynx --dump, that is: get a remote HTML file. However, instead of retrieving the code of that file, RWget retrieves its DOM as rendered in Firefox (or another browser).

  I can also a do a "rendered diff," that is: get the innerHTML of the BODY tag from Firefox, then compare that with the innerHTML of the same page as stored on the server. Based on a presentation by Kord of Splunk at Ajax World 2008.

• Ubiquity, an IF-inspired approach to a command-line interface - rec.arts.int-fiction | Google Groups
  We've basically taken a lot of inspiration from the way interactive fiction allows one to easily "type what they want to do" and put it in a different context. One interesting thing you can do, for instance, is refer to your current selection as "this", "it", "him", "her", etc.: selecting some text and typing "email this to bob", will send your selection to someone named bob in your address book.

• js2-mode - Google Code
  A much nicer editing mode for JavaScript. I had actually been using C-Mode in preference to JavaScript-Generic mode, which on GNU Emacs Windows, did not even support automatic indentation. But this mode seems to be under active development and have tons of useful features. Yet another perk of JavaScript finally coming into its own among Web languages I guess. Yay.
