And with yesterday’s fireworks in Berlin, the year begins! This is going to be an exciting year I’m sure. For one, the world is going to end.

Personally, I have made many changes to my lifestyle and will now begin to experience the day-to-day of them. I’m not at CouchSurfing anymore. I’m not traveling all the time anymore. I’m building a new life in one of my favorite cities: Berlin. I have joined a start-up here called 9flats.com that continues with what I’ve been working on for so long: removing obstacles to traveling and getting to know other cultures.

Ever wondered how to make this javascript duo not slow down your user’s experience? Well you have to compress them and pack them. Yahoo has some really good tools for that (YUI Compressor). You need to have a working version of Java and some patience. I wonder why they aren’t just available for download in an optimized form already…

I just went through the steps to optimize the latest versions of Prototype and Scriptaculous for this site. The following JS contains both, prototype 1.6.3 and scriptaculous 1.8.3 packed into one file.

You can download it here: prototype161_scriptaculous183_packed (just 90Kb!)

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? -- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
