Have a webby Christmas

Sadly there’s no Perl Advent Calendar this year, but the slack has been picked up by Drew McLellan’s 24 ways to impress your friends—a neat web development tip every day until Christmas.

Lazyweb request: 24 ways is currently devoid of baubles, reindeer, animated doors and DHTML snowflakes. Someone needs to write a Greasemonkey script (now Firefox 1.5 compatible).

No such problem over at radiac.net, where Richard has outdone himself.

  1. Oh yes. I loooove DHTML snowflakes. Those at radiac.net is not dhtml, though. I suspect it is flash. But only white snowflakes get a bit boring, imho. It would be cool if someone could write a dhtml snowflake script that with different colors (or even fading colors). That would really get the christmas feeling going with me.

  2. Comments are closed on 24 ways due to its 'digging'. Gosh, I'm sure Drew's heard of Dreamhost. On the brighter side, I'm looking forward to the nex 23 tips to 'impress my friends'

  3. I actually tried to find an 'animated snow-flakes'-script yesterday, but the first 3-4 I found, all required the site to be in quirksmode!? And in that view, I suspect finding one which works with application/xhtml+xml, is simply impossible. So I gave up... :-/

    But thanks for the 'hint' on "24 ways"!

  4. Lazyweb response... sorry, lagging a little here!

    Strange what sorts of things you find yourself doing at 1:00 in the morning. Took about 45 minutes or so - mostly in Photoshop :)

  5. "24 ways to impress your friends"

    The assumption here is that your friends don't read 24ways.org
