This is one of the reasons I advocate improving your tools before you start to solve complicated projects. ECMAscript was created in the past millennium for messing around with your cursor and making text blink. Any serious use is a kludge . Big respect for people making superhuman efforts to develop working web applications, but why make your life more difficult than it needs to be?

I haven't noticed the keyboard layout switcher yet. How come it automatically contains exactly the three layouts which are relevant for me? I've found out earlier that both Search and Translate can correct your input if it makes more sense in some other popular layout, like Russian. What else is there under their sleeves?

I have never in my life got any use out of moving text by drag and dropping of selection inside a textbox. However, it has messed up my texts on numerous occasions, of which I might not have noticed it on every instance. Do you know which wise guy's idea it was to standardize on this?

I've recently learned that the Google platform enables you to connect various services via server side ECMAScript . I've encountered a nice example which sends out a notification for each e-mail that your filters tag as urgent. I've altered a lot of its functionalities, and now it supports the following: Concatenates the subject and the body Jams the first 60 characters in the title, the next 63 characters in the location Preprocess automated mails to only keep the most important fields (RegExp does wonders) Extract and aggregate various daily indices of interest (UrlFetchApp is also nice) As an exception to my usual philosophy, I will have to give second thought if I should be sharing these enhancements or not this time.

My web host is changing their terms of service and have sent me notice that on the 28th of November, they will stop hosting my service. They say that they have already informed my on the 26th of July about this issue, though I don't recall having read that. I'm still searching for alternatives. As a backup plan, I'm in the process of activating Google Apps services on the domain until a solution is found. Unfortunately, I'm not sure naked domain redirection would work in this phase. Also, my domain registrar has no online control panel, so I have to take the longer, manual route of adjustments.
