firefox is a good js debugger
May 6th, 2005
did you know firefox is a really good javascript debugger? yes i’m a bit slow. i thought firefox does not show js errors. in fact, if you type “javascript:” in the url, a js console will pop up. i’ve been using IE for js debugging for a long time. and it’s HORRIBLE.. the msg is totally vague. i know there are other js debugging tools but i didn’t want to spend too much time on it since i don’t code in js THAT MUCH. but firefox’s js debugging tool rules my world ^_^
time left php function
May 5th, 2005
just a simple function that returns how many days, hours, minutes and seconds are left given a timestamp i put together. kinda bored so sharing some code XP
give either $time_left (time left in timestamp) or $endtime (an ending timestamp)
/* returns an array of [days],[hours],[minutes],[seconds] time left from now to timestamp given */
function timeleft($time_left=0, $endtime=null) {
if($endtime != null)
$time_left = $endtime - time();
if($time_left > 0) {
$days = floor($time_left / 86400);
$time_left = $time_left - $days * 86400;
$hours = floor($time_left / 3600);
$time_left = $time_left - $hours * 3600;
$minutes = floor($time_left / 60);
$seconds = $time_left - $minutes * 60;
} else {
return array(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
return array($days, $hours, $minutes, $seconds);
}

Semi rollover snarls interstate traffic
By Mike McWilliams
Iowa City Press-Citizen
An overturned semi trailer has snarled traffic on eastbound Interstate 80 near the Interstate 380, Highway 218 interchange
Few details on the incident are available at this time.
According to Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Randy Stone, a tractor-trailer overturned and lost its load. Stone said one lane of traffic is blocked off and it could be a while before the road is cleaned up.
Stone said he wasn’t sure what the semi trailer was carrying, but 41,000 lbs of it are on I-80.
