Online tool for uppercasing or lowercasing all inputted text. I had a 1000 row Excel file that I was going to read rows from for an email campaign. Unfortunately the user's first and last names were all uppercase.

Using this site I first lowercased all the names, then used a second tool on the site to uppercase the first letter of every name, essential making the names Camel Case.<img src='http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/files/xml/beacon/image.asp?e=openlinks' height='1' width='1' />]]>

Apparently there are several websites now days with easter eggs 'aka hidden things, because programmers were bored'. A famous code 'Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start' is now appearing on several websites. Facebook and ESPN are a few of those websites. I didn't feel like searching through Facebook's 1mb+ of JavaScript to see how they did this, but I image it uses JavaScript key listener.<img src='http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/files/xml/beacon/image.asp?e=openlinks' height='1' width='1' />]]>

This was a really annoying bug I ran into where every time I viewed the source of a webpage, Firefox would crash. I found out that it was due to having the HTML Validator extension installed with Firefox Version 3.09. The addon people released a new version which you can find view this message board thread.

A pretty cool JQuery plugin that will sort static HTML Tables. It is even able to identify data types like number and letters and sort accordingly.

I recently found out that somebody created a JQuery plugin to check if a user has a font type or not. Basically it checks the width of a hidden element against the width of another element with that font in it. Sounds sort of cool to me.<img src='http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/files/xml/beacon/image.asp?e=openlinks' height='1' width='1' />]]>
