JavaScript Garden: A good run-through of some of JavaScript’s tricky bits, a lot like Crockford’s ‘JavaScript: The Good Parts’. I still don’t get prototypes etc though. (via Cal)
LRB · Richard J. Evans · The Wonderfulness of Us: I’m finding this discussion (the article and many letters below it) about how history should be taught in British schools interesting, although I’ve lost track of exactly who thinks what.

08:31am: @dotcode I only use Safari these days. Its dev stuff is pretty much like Firebug (not sure what/if the differences are).
12:37pm: The statue of Thatcher in the Guildhall Art Gallery scares me. I'm having to summon all powers to walk past, fearing it will come alive.
12:40pm: @dotcode Very occasionally Measure It. That's it for webdev. Not sure what else would be useful. Have hardly used FF for years.
12:42pm: Ugh, Thatcher trapped me! I thought there was something past her but no, I was left standing near her frozen form. Need fresh air.
01:02pm: Paperback books aren't quite inconvenient enough compared to ebooks. I know, we should still sell hardbacks! #notbuyingabookiwant
01:55pm: "They crave authenticity because they're old enough to remember a time when they think there was such a thing. We, we only crave the new."
