JavaScript tips

 I often add blank lines around HTML that I am modifying to make things clearer.   Most times it does not make any difference. An HTML minifier will remove the blank lines.   I also often comment out old HTML code with '<!--' an '-->'

 When scraping names off Wikipedia I take breaks reading the technology news. Otherwise it is too boring. I read 'slashdot.org', 'osnews.com', 'distrowatch.com', 'lwn.net' and 'computerweekly.com' news and 'reuters.com/technology' news.

 I have started putting braces on newlines in CSS. For example:     .c1,     .c2     {         color: blue;     } This makes adding another class at the end of the list a little easier. I suppose I could even write:       .c1     , .c2     {         color: blue;     } One project I worked on when I was younger formatted SQL like this:     SELECT a          , b       FROM t          , t2

 I am finding it hard to make releases of code while I am developing. This is because I work on many things at once. I am always in the middle of something. So I just made a release after a weekend of coding, when everything worked.  In the release notes, I said I had just started one of the changes. But the code is not minimized, it is about 16 megabytes, and so takes over 10 seconds to load across the internet.  The server at my web hosting provider is also a bit slow. I could not put my latest changes into 'github.com' using the web form.  Maybe the source is too big, there are too many changes, or perhaps it was because it was Friday.
