Introducing jScroll
jScroll is a jQuery plugin I have developed for the simple purpose of infinite scrolling, lazy loading, or whatever catchy phrase you may know it as. A real-world example of this behavior is your Facebook News Feed, which automatically loads content as you scroll down and reach the end of the page.
I decided to develop this plugin because I did not find any jQuery plugins out there that suited my needs precisely, or any that I could even get to work very well. For more information on jScroll and its use, please visit jscroll.com. There is no extensive documentation at this time, as the plugin is fairly simple and was developed ad hoc. I plan to continue its development and add features, however, over an indefinite period of time.

Safe Firebug Console in Javascript
Firebug‘s console object is an extremely useful tool for debugging and logging javascript interactions and responses, especially when working with AJAX and JSONP. What is not useful, is that when using the console object’s methods directly in your included javascript code, it will not work in most browsers other than Firefox, and of course it will cause errors if you (or your users) do not have Firebug installed.
Many of us have made the mistake of sometimes forgetting to delete our console code after testing and before launching our javascript to our production site, thus causing javascript errors, breaking the UI, or perhaps even breaking an entire application, depending on how javascript-dependent it is.
I aimed to solve this problem, and not just the problem of leaving the console code in my javascript by accident, but to allow it intentionally, if I wish, without breaking any browser that does not support it. Read more
