This is great. I copied these .exe files out of my temp internet files a couple of years ago and have been using them ever since. Far more practical, and portable, than using VMs. I've got them in my Dropbox so I can even run a bit of cross

Why should we assume 'life expectancy' is an absolute measure of progress. One could equally argue that what one does over the course of a lifetime is more important than how long it lasts. Many people in our social systems spend the best p

Not sure what you mean. I've tested transitions in Firefox 3.6 and they are not supported - http://jsfiddle.net/qPdeV/

I was aware that you can see the results on their own page. What I meant was that not having to switch between views is one of jsfiddle's strengths over jsbin. Edited my earlier reply to remove the misleading 'but'. Thanks for the info abou

Yep, JsFiddle is brilliant. There are a few others too. http://jsbin.com - Not as many features as JsFiddle and the preview is on a separate page. The HTML/CSS/JS isn't kept completely apart either. http://cssdesk.com - Primarily for CS

Completely agree. The HTML template I used in my project framework is even more simple than this one. The framework itself is something I grow and change over time. I can learn from things like the HTML5 Boilerplate but I like to know, tail
