At work, I’ve been tackling some fairly sophisticated JavaScript DOM manipulation scenarios. As such, I’ve started to run up against the limitations of my long-used technique of stuffing loads of HTML as a string into some element’s innerHTML property. Specifically, when inserting very long strings containing complex HTML, there can be a troublesome delay between when JavaScript thinks it’s done inserting the elements and when the elements are actually available for further manipulation.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t see a good solution on the Mac for merging folders full of files. Well, today I really needed to do just that, so I figured out a way using only Panic’s excellent ftp program Transmit.

Driving to work this morning, Boston’s arena rock classic Don’t Look Back came on the radio. I broke into a grin, thinking about how much my life has changed in the last few weeks. I have so much to look forward to for 2007. The whole freelance thing got a big boost tonight. I think this is going to be a great year.

Starting today, I am master of my destiny. Captain of my ship of fate. Today, I launch Newfangled Telegraph and throw my lot out upon the entrepreneurial seas. Starting today, for better or worse, I will ride the waves of fortune (hopefully) and adventure (no doubt!) to distant shores not yet imagined.
