Yahoo using Google Code..!



There is a really cool syntax highlighter in the YUI documentation. I was wondering how they did it and clicked on the "?" link, that opened an about page that said "dp.SyntaxHighlighter" Version 1.3.0, with a further link to http://www.dreamprojections.com/syntaxhighlighter/, which redirected to know where? http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/. I thought it was very interesting. Kudos to Yahoo! for not having the NIH syndrome!

And also, great job Alex!

YSlow Benchmarking

I was playing with YSlow for Firebug, a neat little tool from Yahoo!. It is actually a plugin to Firebug which analyses the performance of your web pages. My projects barely managed to get a passing grade :(. It was fun to check the performance of various sites:
