AckMate
In the event that anyone was using my TextMate Ack In Project fork, protocool released a successor to Ack In Project called AckMate. It’s better. Get it instead.
maphilight 1.2
I finally got around to officially releasing maphilight 1.2. This mostly just updates the official jquery.com release to the HEAD of the github project. I’d been putting it off because I spent quite a while without easy access to a Windows machine with IE8 to test the fixes that people provided. But I switched back …
A jQuery 1.3 quirk that bit me
deviantART just upgraded to jQuery 1.3, and we found an undocumented jQuery change that broke some things. The behavior of the :enabled selector changed. Before it selected all enabled form elements, now it selects all enabled and non-hidden form elements. This bit us, because we were using jQuery to assemble some form elements to submit …
NautilusSVN
NautilusSVN is a TortoiseSVN clone for the GNOME file browser, Nautilus. I am very happy to have found this. Now, I just need someone to write “NautilusGit”. (Or wait for the NautilusSVN project to do what they say they plan to, and extend it to cover multiple VCSs…)

One problem with TextMate is that its built-in search is very slow, especially across a large project. Since I work with a full checkout of the deviantART source code, searches …

Detecting failure
I warn you in advance that this post does not end with a resolution of my problems. For reasons relating to dynamic loading of javascript dependencies, I wanted to find a way to tell: When a script tag finishes loading a file Whether that file was successfully loaded For various reasons, I didn’t want to …
A few useful git links
I recently saw one approach to the “what git branch am I on?” issue, which (if you’re using the bash shell) puts your current branch into your prompt. There’s also tortoisegit for Windows. TortoiseSVN has always been one of the best things about SVN, so it’s good to see a clone pop up for git.
Intrepidly lacking
I updated my desktop to the new Ubuntu release (Intrepid Ibix) This is mostly good, but I discovered a problem as a side-effect of them improving their mouse support. Now that my mouse is auto-detected with all its buttons, the side-button no longer defaults to being a middle-click. I like having the side-button do middle …
