# Got an email the other day about an enhancement I had submitted to the Velocity project . In a nutshell, it's a java templating engine. Perhaps a better way to put it would be an engine for processing transformation directives. Anyway it was pretty cool and I thought up a cool new directive, wrote an implementation and submitted it. That was back in 2003. Apparently it's scheduled for the 1.6 release, the one after the next one. Funny thing is I read my submission and I have no idea what the hell I'm on about! I havn't touched Java, let alone Velocity, in years hehehe.

# Been doing some work with dates in javascript and I've noticed that if you do a new Date().getYear it'll return 106 for this year: Y2K-tastic! (hint: use getFullYear() )

# A use for Google Code Search: find out where your open source code ends up .

# Yay, I made Aaron's Ultimate Javascript Toolbox !

Your field validation with Prototype is very worthy of a top place in the "Ultimate JavaScript Toolbox". I taught my student how to use it recently in one of my classes. Thanks for sharing it!
