JavaScript Base64

This is brilliant! I've used this once already and dare say I will again soon, so good to encode text within data-attributes!

Thank you webtoolkit!

empty()

This is just brilliant and deserves to be kept forever:

function empty(data) {
    if (typeof (data) == 'number' || typeof (data) == 'boolean') {
        return false;
    }
    if (typeof (data) == 'undefined' || data === null) {
        return true;
    }
    if (typeof (data.length) != 'undefined') {
        return data.length == 0;
    }
    var count = 0;
    for (var i in data) {
        if (data.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return count == 0;
}

It's from the fabulous JSPro.

Yon peeps who are Java and C# heads at work used to sneer at my various attempts to check to see if a value was null or an empty string, well not any more thanks to this little gem!

Five Kisses

It's about three months since we lost #3 son. Three months of utter shite!

People have, by and large, been bloody brilliant!

But it's getting on for Xmas and I've been hitting Amazon. Lovely as they'll even wrap the presents.

Normally I'd write something along the lines of:

Dear [whoever],
Have a lovely Christmas and all the best for [next year]
Lots and lots of Love,
Dominic, Katrina (reverse, depending who it's for), #1, #2 and #3 XXXXX

This year I'm having to alter the last line to:

Dominic, Katrina (reverse, depending who it's for), #1 and #2

But I'll be buggered if I'm just putting 4 kisses!
