Hey guys! Glad (and a little panicked) to see this get some more attention. I've shut down signups/logins because I don't have time to moderate, and right now you really have to moderate. :| So long and thanks for all the b

Despite my ex-roommate's well-intentioned defense, I was probably sober for most of it. It was also a decade ago and I'm somewhat wiser now. As mentioned elsewhere, I learned a lot about making such bold claims to the Choir of Ult

Sorry about that! Should be working now. Here's something I never thought I'd say: Perl made breaking changes. My guess is additional strict things broke the gitweb CGI script (which was hopelessly out of date anyway).

Release early, release often works pretty well when the whole world is waiting for you to make a mistake. They are certainly getting a lot of valuable advice for free. It would have been better for their users, however, if they'd tried to g

Yep, that was an accident. I've removed the parameter entirely. Nice catch!

I've merged in your changes and made a few improvements, too. I streamlined the timeout handling so that it uses setTimeout instead of clearing and resetting setInterval. I also used color literals instead of CSS rgb(). I removed the reset

I thought the same thing until I watched a talk a few weeks ago about HTML5, and the guy demonstrated the world's smallest text editor: data:text/html,<pre contenteditable>
