Welp, it’s been over four years since my last post on this blog, and I’m not sure what’s to become of it.

But in other news, I’ve started a new project over at tommy.sh where I’ll be making and selling electronic musical instruments. It’s got an accompanying blog with a handful of posts too.

More later?!

An experiment to write a “free form” calculator with variables. I say “experiment”, because it’s sort of technically dangerous to allow that sort of thing and should be used with caution!

Also comes with a bookmarklet (Click the little “?!” thing in the lower right) to run as a sidebar alongside other pages. Handy if you, like me, regularly need to do margin math.

At the moment, works only in Chrome.

Made this little alligator/dinosaur/dragon guy for the gf back in February.

SplitFrame is a bookmarklet I wrote for work to compare two different instances of a site. Usually, I’ll use it to compare my development instance against deployed. SplitFrame’s main selling point is that as the left frame is navigated, the right will follow.

It proves useful pretty regularly for me. Let me know if it does for you too. Suggestions/forks welcome.

Run this in your browser console to get a readout on which words you (or whoever) need to break out a thesaurus for.

Might have gone a little overboard with the modules, but I think it makes it more readable.

Confirm Leave: sure?

Will prompt before page unloads. Good for when you’re filling out a form or something and don’t want to accidentally close the page.

URL Param Cleanup*:

Takes a URL?that=looks&like=this, parses, and returns

{
    "that": "looks",
    "like": "this"
}

HTML Prompt*: html?

Prompts for and displays your HTML.

Millisecond Param: ?123

May or may not bust any caches.

* These two are data URIs and thus aren’t probably technically bookmarklets.

Oh, and…

• My auto-updating text editor via data URI, relabeled to ...
• My addCSS to inject arbitrary CSS
• jQuerify to inject jQuery

That’s why I’m so glad to say that I’m passing the torch to another developer. David is a smart, talented gent and (if his git commits to the project are any indication) is the perfect guy to take over OneFileCMS.

His repo: https://github.com/Self-Evident/OneFileCMS

Thank you, David!
