jQuery: ajaxManager3

A great little plugin that lets you decide how your ajax requests are sent. Includes support for queuing, aborting, all kinds of callbacks etc.

One hint: If you are kicking off a subsequent request from within the success() handler of a previous request, put it in a setTimeout(). Otherwise, it won’t run.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. an innocuous touch by someone just doing their job—a barber, yoga instructor or friendly waitress—that you enjoy more than you’d like to admit, a feeling of connection so stupefyingly simple that it cheapens the power of the written word, so that by the year 2025, aspiring novelists would be better off just giving people a hug.
