`x || (x = y)` pattern for using an incoming value otherwise using some default
// from https://twitter.com/#!/LeaVerou/status/16613276313980929
// this pattern below is common for using an incoming value otherwise using some default.
/* Bad: */ x = x ? x : y; // simple ternary.
// if x is truthy lets use it.
/* Better: */ x = x || y; // logical OR.
// you could string a bunch of these easily to grab the first non-falsy value:

For converting adium logs to decently sexy HTML

adium log export to HTML

this shit is for exporting this weirdass xml out into some sane HTML.

  • run rename.sh to kill the whitespaces in your xml filenames
    • alternatively fix my htmlify.sh to not break on whitespace'd filenames
      • UPDATE: check this comment on a quick fix to avoid this rename script. BOOM! thx @kwef!
  • run htmlify.sh
    • htmlify has a hardcoded destination directory.
  • htmlify also expects the format-html.* files to be up one folder from it.

jQuery Standards Team

#Announcing The jQuery Standards Team

Today we're happy to announce the creation of a new jQuery sub-team called the jQuery Standards Team to give web developers to have a voice in the standards process.

##Introduction

We all know that web standards are important. They help ensure the code we write works across different technologies, for people of different abilities and most importantly across all browsers.

That said, how often do we all feel our voices, suggestions and ideas are heard by those groups responsible for defining these standards? The reality is that whilst many of us would like to see change, due to time restrictions and lengthy formal processes we're unable to participate in standards discussions, get involved with writing specifications and contribute to meetings about the future of features. This makes it difficult for web developers to have a voice.
