Thoughts and experiences on my hobby (and professional) projects, most revolving around interesting applications of ecmascript in relation to other open web standards. I was born in 1977 and live in Linköping, Sweden.
The class assumes a DOM compliant browser (so it's not IE compatible, for instance), but I have had very good use for it in my user scripts, where the code gets to run on mostly any page I visit, across the entire web -- which can add up to lots of leakage in the long run, if you write sloppy code.
