@TheFu: That one has been annoying me also. If all of the info from a users' profile page was obtainable using AJAX, I can think of a ton of useful things to do.

@Phoshi: And, just in case you haven't seen this one...

@Phoshi: Firebug is your friend.

@Christo27: I'll try to get something up and running today. (depends on what my day has in store for me)

@Phoshi: There's a bit of user information that's easily obtained that's returned as JSON. (User status and comment notifications)

@witeowl: Greasemonkey can take care of that if you're interested.

This is customized.

@Phoshi: They changed a ton of css classes a couple of weeks ago.

@Phoshi: They essentially have an API for a small number of things- it's just a matter of deciphering the existing ajax. There are a couple of places where it isn't used where it would be nice if it were(as then it could be repurposed).

@TheFu: If I recall, Gina had some stuff in the better lifehacker scripts that would adjust timezone.

@TheFu: Is that lag recent? I haven't noticed any lag more than the typical two minutes or so. I concur with replication being the likely cause.

@Christo27: If you're willing to accept greasemonkey, I can throw something together that does that in no time.

Setup: Kludge

@Jason: Well played. Ad hominem attacks usually signal the end of intelligent discourse. But, I'm afraid this isn't over, and you're going to be hearing more from SoundSystem.

@y0urm0msname: That's called the "Scale" plug-in. It's quite configurable. It can be summoned using a screen edge, as you've described, as well as keystroke, or mouse button. You can also configure it to display windows from the current workspace or all workspaces.

@lankysob: Hint: use html entities.

@zombies.like.lattés.too: Peeps + microwave = fun

@zombies.like.lattés.too: No kidding. The Olympics should be a reason to broadcast a smorgasbord of unusual sports.

@elgilicious: I agree wholeheartedly.

As an Ubuntu user, I feel like I should comment on this. There's not really much to say that hasn't already been said, but here it goes anyway.
