TextLimiter - A little JavaScript class to… limit your text-areas!

 This is a small Javascript class I wrote a while ago. It hooks up to a text-area or a text input and limits the amount of characters you can write in it while displaying a count-down of the remaining characters… It is cross-browser and uses a custom event to check for changes in the text […]

HighlightMyCode - Syntax Highlighting on-the-fly!

I just finished a new project called HighlightMyCode. The goal is simple: to provide Syntax highlighting for your code snippets on the fly. Just paste your code, select a language and a theme and you’re done. You’ll get a small piece of javascript to embedded your highlighted snippet on your site.

Off Topic: Pitchfork Media reviews archive?

Well this is completely off-topic, but it’s something that’s been bugging me for a while now. I check Pitchfork Media every once in a while to discover new bands… I rarely read their reviews as I don’t really like their style (imho you shouldn’t put too much thinking into a review… just tell us what […]
