RSS Feed Notes
I was checking out my RSS feeds and noticed that my code examples weren't looking good. I'll be updating the RSS feed this weekend, hopefully by having code examples display in a <pre> instead of a <textarea> (textarea needed for the Syntax Highlighter on the site). I also noticed that there's an issue with images I put in my posts when the image SRC's aren't explicitly set to my domain.
Expect to see some resolution this weekend.
I've also added a FeedBurner feed for comments, which you can subscribe to at:

The basic...

You've probably been to sites like RapidShare and MegaUpload that allow you to download files but make you wait a specified number of seconds before giving you the download link. I've created a similar script but my script allows you to animate the CSS font-size...
