Last week an email asked me why perma-link URLs to blog entries ended in &count=-1. Obviously they've not been keeping up with my articles. Tut, tut. The parameter is used to force Domino to return the maximum number of rows from a view. The default is thirty rows, which meant that opening a blog with more than thirty responses would cut some off. My solution, which I was never happy with, was to append this parameter to all links. Last week's email triggered a thought - I don't need it anymore. Since Prominic gave me my own server, I can make whatever changes I like to the Domino settings. The default number of rows is now 100 and the URL parameter has gone. Jake's a happy boy.

Yesterday I forgot to thank the 3Js for their gifts - Jerry, Jon and Juan. Thanks guys. One of the gifts was the JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook by none other than DHTML god Danny Goodman. A simple look at the contents of this book should be enough to convince you of its worthiness of a place on your bookshelf. Personally, I have a shelf devoted to O'Reilly, as you can see below.

There's not much you could ever want to know in our line of business that ain't in one of these! Where would we be without O'Reilly!?
