  1. Lifehacker: Ubiquity Prototype Offers a Natural Language Web Command Line. Maybe I should make a Ubiquity command to "blog this" rather than using a bookmarklet Smiley Anyway... very cool.

Lifehacker: Featured Firefox Extension: TagSifter Slices and Dices Your Bookmarks by Tag. I like the tag expression syntax they have. muffins - (cookies + brownies) ?donuts (?donuts means "the URL contains 'donuts').

People have proposed a tag query syntax.

I guess this is obvious, but the reason tags are so powerful and have caught on so much is that tags are sets whereas "folders" are trees, and sets ⊃ trees.

FireBug, and interactive consoles

So yesterday, for the first time in years, I started coding a little Javascript, so I finally had a reason to install and play with FireBug. It's great. By far the most useful feature to me so far is the interactive javascript console. You can say document.getElementById("foo") and it'll give you a debug list of all the properties for that element. And you can execute any Javascript and it'll show you the results.

It really shows the value of interactive consoles. In fact, that was the second interactive console I'd made use of for the day for a language that doesn't usually have one. I finished creating a fairly tricky API for my tagging system, and I wanted to test it all. So I whipped up my own web-based interactive console for PHP where I could type in code and have it be evaluated and see the output. I was able to run down my entire API pretty quickly and both knock out some minor errors, and convince myself that the code was probably correct. With the console I wrote I was able to run through my tests much faster than I'd have been able to any other way.

A console is so important to me that I feel kind of naked when I'm working in a language that doesn't have one. In particular, I really miss it when I'm working with Perl, especially given its baroque syntax and all the CPAN you're inevitably testing out.

  1. FireBug:

    FireBug is a new tool that aids with debugging Javascript, DHTML, and Ajax. It is like a combination of the Javascript Console, DOM Inspector, and a command line Javascript interpreter.

    Update: Ed Dumbill has a glowing review.
