In eating my own dog food I have revised, corrected, improved and fixed the code I posted last week. The biggest changes are related to ensuring that all that cached data does not just accumulate and never gets cleared away.
Values set using the “GM_setValue” function are saved in the Firefox preferences back end and [...]

On last years trip to Los Angles I had a NetBook (Aspire One) and using our friends WiFi was able to keep up on email and access the locations I [...]

In mathematics, the intersection (denoted as ∩) of two sets A and B is the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B.
I needed the javascript array equivalent, so that given an array A = ["a","b","c", "d"] and B = ["b", "d", "e"], getIntersect(A, B) = ["b", "d"]

This fall has seen a few changes in Toronto’s west end Junction neighborhood (of New York Times fame):
Bronto Burger is now Jocelyn’s Place (2982 Dundas St. West, just west of Pacific Ave.), with a new owner but same menu/price and deco (at least for now). The food and service continue to be as good.
The [...]

We saw 5 great films in the Contemporary World Cinema program in this years (2009) Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff).
We started off with a Irish film, Perrier’s Bounty, set in the underside of North Dublin. Great and meaty characters. I hope the DVD has English subtitles and translation so I can understand [...]

Most of the credit should go to Julian Robichauxand his ls2j examples db, and in particultar the JakartaOroWrapper Library
My “invention” involves creating a isValidateURL and isValidateEmailAddress Regular Expression (or regexp ) routines that worked for me.

I had hoped to use the “@ThisName” to get the suffix of the field name “Comment_1″ and hide it if the Field “Status_1″ is “Pending” by doing this :
1234Suffix := @Right(@ThisName; "_");
EmpListFieldName := "Status_" + Suffix;
Status_value := @GetField(EmpListFieldName);
@If( Status_value = "Pending";@Return(@True);@Return(@False));
but it didn’t work
finally traced it down to the “@ThisName” formula and [...]

I needed to find the people that belonged to a given lotus Notes group. It couldn’t be a simple lookup since other groups can and frequently are also members of a group, so it needed to be be recursive.
