My year in 12 copy-and-paste comments

While I’m almost never a sucker for a good meme, I was so amazed to see that I actually posted in all twelve months this year that I started looking at what I might pick, if I were so inclined. Then I quickly ran up against my inability to shut up: even when there was nothing but Shorts, I still had trouble finding sentences short enough to copy and paste.

August:

September:

October:

November
Oh well, if you’re gonna be evil like that…
December:
I’ll bring the beer, you bring the road and the truck.

In other words, running a Greasemonkey script on a site can expose the contents of every file on your local hard drive.

The magic personal command line for the web

I have big plans for this little script.

Or do you just use your browser to browse? That’s so 20th century.

That sounds like a job for ”Dive Into Microformats”…
