document.location.hash = “#anchorName” does not do what you might expect. Looking at the addressbar, I see “http://mydomain.com/mypage.html#%23anchorName” instead. Apparently, you need to omit the hash mark for Safari. Luckily it seems to work on other browsers too. The O’Reilly book Javascript: The Definitive Guide states that location.hash includes the “#”, but I guess we’ll just go with what works.

Using jquery’s html() method for replacing the inner HTML of an element doesn’t work. I think it’s just using javascript’s innerHTML attribute, which is supposed to work, from what I found Googling around. But it wasn’t working for me. Oh well, I found a way to work in this case without innerHTML.

Well last night at around 11pm, we at DigitalAdvisor launched a new version of the site! The look and feel has totally changed, and we now have a new feature: Questions and Answers. We’re hoping that it will help people in their research of electronics they’re thinking of buying (or already own, for that matter). And if you help other people out by answering their questions, you can get points and recognition.

Even though I’m not a graphic designer by any means, I’m the closest we have, so most of the work on the look and feel is my doing (with plenty of input from the rest of the company, of course). The layout on some of the pages is not final, and there are plenty of improvements that can be made (there’s more functionality coming, too). But I’m still pretty happy with how it looks.

Go check it out, maybe even ask or answer a question yourself!

Jarling’s Custard Cup (see definition of frozen custard)

Steak & Shake

Dinner: grilled pork chops with brown sugar barbeque sauce, onions, and zucchini.

Dessert: peaches and blueberries with sugar.

The zucchini and peaches I got from the Cambridgeport Farmers Market today while I was out biking.

It drives me nuts when people use the word “interweb“. It’s “web” or “internet”, people! Pick one!

Even writers you think would know better use it. And if they’re just being ironic, well they’re being a bit to subtle about it.
