Greasemonkey Darken Script
I just love Greasemonkey scripts for Firefox. I happened to stumble upon this basic script to 'Darken' a web page, it's simple but a start. Now I'll make some tweaks to invert colors.
It's really nothing special, just switching back and forth from a shell console to a bright white page can be a little harsh on the eyes.

Hi,
I can't access del.icio.us anymore for the last 3 days, others don't seem to experience any problems - is del.icio.us blocking IP addresses? (mine are randomly assigned in 84.58.x.x)
(I can access http://blog.del.icio.us/ and http://lists.del.icio.us/ cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss but not http://del.icio.us/)
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I'm not able to check the site for a more appropriate addressee and maybe others are affected as well.
If you need any kind of information on my setup or if there is a better place to post my problems, please let me know.
thanks,
Markus

Groovy or JRuby? That is the question.
As for myself, I can't speak for JRuby, as I've only had experiences with Groovy. And I have nothing but good things to say about Groovy. It's easy to setup, implement and deploy and has much faster performance than just Ruby alone. Hundreds of times of faster in some benchmarks .
And so onto the comparison, Martin Fowler creates yet another thought provoking computer language article:
