New jQuery plugin: Pulse

This is a brand new plugin which applies a continual pulse to any element specified. ‘Pulseable’ properties include "background-color’, ‘color” ‘border-color’ and ‘opacity’. Specifying more than one property to pulse on a single element can have a pretty cool effect.

New website finally finished

I’ve finally managed to get my personal website built and running. I meant to get it done ages ago but so much had been happening that I simply didn’t have time.

My new website will act as a portfolio and a personal blog. Like all other great things in the world the site is built on Wordpress and themed by me.

Cool Characters in Twitter - A GreaseMonkey Script!

Recently there’s been some "hype" around the previously unknown fact that Twitter accepts cool UTF-8 characters. To be honest I never really assumed otherwise but the story covering it got over 2000 diggs today so I’m probably in the minority.

The actual story which was dugg was offering a bookmarklet which you can press to bring up a popup window which enabled you to copy (*gasp*) and paste (*gasp*) funny characters into your tweets. The only problem with this being that it is manual and not really worth the effort… not even slightly! I’m quite lazy so cannot be bothered to open a new window… go into that new window… highlight a bit of text… copy it… select the twitter window… and then paste it into the textbox! So, spending that wouldbe wasted time I created a sweet little GreaseMonkey script which does all of it for you!
