Drag it to your bookmark toolbar and click it while on YouTube to get a prompt of the open video’s ID. Of course, it returns nothing if you aren’t watching any videos.
This is really only useful when you’re adding videos to a CMS that accepts this sort of data, so, you know, uhh… Hi!
I made this this morning and am very pleased with myself.
What is it? It’s a bookmarklet to have my favorite robot, RoBump, walk across your browser! Drag the link into your bookmark toolbar like I have to enjoy it wherever you are on the internet!
Notes:
Lastly, this post marks my 100th post to this site, so I guess I’m, like, officially a blogger now. Or something.
As I develop a site or app, I tend to keep notes on what I’m doing and what I need to do next hardcoded into it somewhere. When I complete a task or think of a new one, I manually change the HTML to reflect it.
But wouldn’t it be better if those notes were kept in a form with a “Save” button so if I had some sudden inspiration I could write it down without having to dredge through the code or even open up my FTP client?
Yes! Yes, that would be better slightly!
Enter Dev Notes, a PHP-based, in-site, cross-page text form for development notes. It is free and open source. Use and modify it however you like!

Features:
Installation:
<?php include "devnotes/devnotes.php" ?> after the body tag of every page you’d like it onBecause this is really just meant for developers, if you’re going to add it to public pages, you’ll want to hide it from visitors who oughtn’t be seeing it. Keep that in mind!
Also, this uses Google’s AJAX Libraries API to import jQuery. If you’d rather it use your site’s version, you’ll have to modify “devnotes.php.”

Dev Notes is written in PHP (which will obviously need to be installed on your server) and the jQuery, with help from Klaus Hartl’s jQ Cookie plugin.
All right, if you use it and like it, let me hear in the comments, and if you have any strong critiques or opinions, I’m all ears for those too!
I posted this on the Something Else forums long ago and forgot about it…
Also, this marks the first time I’ve ever posted two things on the same day, rather than just waiting till the next day to post the next thing. This was too awesome for that.
Also, also, this blog has been around for over two years. Crazy.
Also, also, also, hi!
The New Movement Theater is an improv and stand-up workshop venue in Austin, TX, run by Chris Trew and Tami Nelson.
This is actually the third incarnation of TNM’s site. The first was somebody else’s design and static code. The second was their design and my code, ported to WP. This one is my design and my code (but made to work with a logo made by Sarah Price).
Neat features in this custom WordPress theme:
Yay!
