Love the background, just don't zoom out too much lol

Seems the database has vanished too

Clicking back after visiting a link clears the search. Should keep it as a query parameter.

Yes, because you are not hitting a valid route, hence not found.

For the clearfix can't you just use `clear:right` or `clear:both`? Also for inline-block you can also use the ie7 hack `display: inline-block;*display: inline;zoom: 1;`. Nice tutorial though.

There is a comment on my blog from a developer from MLB.com for anyone who is interested:

"Hi -

Engineer from mlb.com here. It appears this goes a bit deeper down the rabbit hole than meets the eye. Apparently there’s some code laying around in our tests run by a CI setup that randomly generates a tracking code to mock third party scripts (Google analytics, ad tracking, etc) instead of using our actual IDs as to not mess with our marketing guys’ numbers (we run a LOT of tests on CI).

The strange thing is that your IDs aren’t being pulled from your site, but have randomly been generated the same way many, many times and then been shipped out to our production server by mistake.

We can’t figure out why this is happening, but are looking into the build system and how it caches data. Luckily I read HN or we might have never caught this!"

I will when the dust settles.

Well mystery solved. I did a bit of sleuthing and noticed they have a scratch card at the bottom of the page. I had written a scratchpad plugin so I did a quick search for "wScratchPad" and sure enough it's there. They copied my sample code from http://wscratchpad.websanova.com, div's css and all and, you can even see the same `id` and `class` names.

I guess they copied a little too much.

Actually it's so you can track multiple domain with one code. I do this with subdomains so that I can see all my traffic as well as by individual subdomain.

Well actually it's two sets of codes I use which is custom script I put together to track two ids since I have a lot of subdomains. Not how Google gives it to you, which leads me to believe it was copy and pasted. Still not sure how that could happen though.

Well it's not THAT much of a spike, at least not so far. Although the number has increased significantly since the screen shot. Right now I'm just curious to see how long it will take them to notice.

I have lots of experience designing simple interfaces for complicated websites. I also believe in launching code often and breaking a problem down into small parts that can be delivered in days rather than months. There really is no reason why there can't at least be some soft internal or private launch that can get users playing with something.

I would like to work with a company or someone that has interesting problems to solve. I'm at my best when I'm working with people that enjoy discussing and trying to figure out elegant solutions and are self motivated to produce great results.

For any questions or if you would like to chat you can contact me at rob@duchnik.com

Been there done that:

Ha, well I'm not in a tight spot, I just want to write some jQuery plugins. They will all be open sourced on github of course.

Where is the demo?

Well I really wasn't expecting this much feedback for this little library. I threw it up for kicks and went out for a movie, when I came back I was surprised to see all the interest. It's just a simple parser I wrote for my projects, so it doesn't get too crazy with exact definitions of "tld" and support for IPv4/IPv6 addresses as mentioned in the comments. Might be better to create a secondary more heavyweight version for things like that.

Anyway, I've fixed/updated a bunch of things from the comments, if anyone finds any other bugs or missing features probably best to leave me an issue on the github project page here: https://github.com/websanova/js-url/issues.

The project has also been un-jquery-ified and renamed to js-url (thanks to Jay Adkisson : https://github.com/jayferd)

Thanks

I do like the shortcut `.uiji('p.greeting"Hello World!"')`, but what if I want to add two class names?

I really like the search suggestions.

Yes! I'm going to add some color shading here for items with no entries as a visual guide.

Agreed, just updated.

If you could send me a screen grab to contact@coderegator.com that would be awesome.

Well it's sorted by popularity (which had a bug I just fixed) or date. Will add the ability to sort by "Top" as well shortly.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I will implement all of those. The title links were meant to link to a "source" so that you can provide credit, but they don't seem to be used much so I will probably just link to the comments as you suggested and put a little "source" link beside it if someone wants to give credit.

It's all done using CodeIgniter and jQuery.

I think it's totally relevant, I have worked with guys that have fancy PHD's from MIT that always over complicated the crap out of simple things. It's like when you buy something expensive or make an investment, you feel the need to defend and justify it to others.

It's the same thing here, you get a fancy degree and everything you do has to be complex to justify getting that degree otherwise what separates you from a guy with an average degree. It's probably more an ego thing, but I see this all the time.

"buzzword-compliant" that's a good one...lol

I think it's genius way to get people to follow you, they will rack up followers with this over time.

wow, this is pretty impressive.

ya, I don't really like their method approach, they don't use prototyping.

Well, I think this is getting a little nit picky. I would rather have a smaller footprint for my plugin then putting a bunch of checks like this in. I don't think I've ever passed in a string that way, that would seem to me like a very rare condition.
