SideNote
Finally got around to generalizing my little side popper app so it can deal with text input from blog entries as well as the wp-people data I designed it for. Check it [SIDE=/I appeared magically! And I didn’t screw up any funny characters! €! euro!/]out[/SIDE]. Still needs work, though: it can only handle straight text, not general HTML, and I’ll need it to if I want to use it for the picture album idea I have.
Now it works. The problem was figuring out how to pass many levels of nested quotation marks from PHP through HTML into Javascript. It’s not terribly difficult, but the learning curve was a bit steep.
