For those web developers out there using FireFox ,you have to install the Firebug extension. It lets you explore the DoM in far more detail than ever before. Simply download and install the extension, restart FireFox and hit F12. You can then see all your HTML source, JavaScript, CSS etc. It also has a cool debugging tool for JavaScript that lets you step through line at a time. I can't tell you how much time this extension has saved me this year. Get it, install it and give it a whirl. You wont be disappointed I promise. Microsoft have released their Developer Toolbar for Internet Explorer which goes some way to providing the same functionality for the Microsoft die hards out there but its a million miles away from our friends over at Mozilla.

Well, finally made it into work on the 3rd January and it's always tough after the holidays. However its not long to wait until the 13th January when I will be spending a week in Meribel. Hopefully we will all return in one piece this year as well. My girlfriend had quite a nasty accident last year in Austria which resulted in a large laceration to her leg and required several rather large stitches. I digress however and just wanted to offer some advice for those who are struggling with the "back to work" bug doing the rounds. A colleague of mine told me yesterday that his girlfriend always has to have a holiday to look forward to. I thought this was a brilliant way to beat off those New Year Blues and so why not start planning your Easter getaway. Surly the prospect of another holiday is the best way to cure the disappointment of one just ending......... Just a thought.
