Behind on my list reading (bad joe! bad!)

Can't resist this thread though (though I'm a latecomer).

Very pleased to see My Idol the very esteemed Frank Zappa mentioned by 3
of my list-mates. :-)

I am still on a mission to get every Frank Zappa CD - in '98 I started a
mission to get 'em all by 2000 -- I think I have like 50 of them (many
of them double-CDs) -- nothing like Zappa to kick out the jams of your
superego and code like mad.

Current Artists in Rotation:
  Frank Zappa, Christina Aguilera, They Might Be Giants,
  The Negro Problem, The Byrds, ABC
Previous Artists in Rotation
  Talking Heads, Joy Division/New Order, Beach Boys,
  Smiths/Morrissey, Matthew Sweet, Beatles (later works),
  Muddy Waters, Tori Amos, Beastie Boys
...And I'll stop there.

Now - I owe. :-)

<TIP TYPE="pseudo-urls, netscape">
Netscape has the javascript: pseudo protocol you can execute javascript
in the "Location:" bar with.

Ex: javascript:alert('Hello World')

javascript: on its own pulls up the Communicator Console which'll show
you the most recent JavaScript errors (if any). I have the link
"javascript:" on the toolbar of my home and work browsers so I can call
that whenever I like.

view-source: is another one that's valuable. Interestingly, view-source:
now works on the IE side as well (IE5) -- not sure about previous
versions, but I think that's new. I use the view-source: one to look at
folks style sheets in Netscape:

Ex: http://www.artlung.com/style/core_artlung_style.css - does not work
in Netscape -- but
view-source:http://www.artlung.com/style/core_artlung_style.css does.
Neat little trick.
