@John That’s a very good idea! I’ll see to that when I get a chance.

Comment on Blackbird - simple log messages in Javascript by balint

@Jaime, you are right. I did not know that feature of Firebug. So I would say Blackbird is a “browser-agnostic”, flashy solution while Firebug just does the job right :)

Just a suggestion, but you might want to try making your DSL be a language that outputs a URL to the Google Charts API in the end. It’s considerably more flexible and produces some nice looking results for very little effort.

Hey, the floating console is cool, but isn’t it simpler to use Firebug’s loggin mechanisms? Like:

console.log(”console.log”);
console.debug(”console.debug”);
console.info(”console.info”);
console.warn(”console.warn”);
console.error(”console.error”);
console.fail(”console.fail”);

Jaime, I thoroughly enjoy it. You can get used to Mac OS-X key bindings and operation pretty fast and I still find the fonts beautiful, the graphic design pleasing and -most importantly- all things working out-of-the-box.

The only con -and that’s a serious con, I admit- is that most software has a price tag which is kind of a shock if you come from the free-software linux world. So far, I did not have to spend any money on these, however, so most of the time you can get along without them. (e.g. there is aquamacs for emacs, open office and the iLive multimedia package came bundled with the laptop). Sometimes this can be a pain, though, I don’t think there is a cheap and equally good alternative for all tasks.

I am happy to give you more detailed info if you wish.

Hey Balint, I wonder what’s your impression about your mac switch now that you have worked with it for a few months?

@lolbob: I did not claim this piece of code to be a great invention but it does what I wanted to do. After having a glimpse of others’ works/tutorials I thought DSL is an adequate term for this type of code. Could you state why it is not a DSL?
