Chronic Pain in the Arse

The miniscule typos in the revision of my portfolio has driven me to the brink of tears. I don't even know why it stopped working at some point. I'm sure it may blink offline over the next week as I call up friends for cross-platform testing.

What's new then? Well the html goes through a Perl script now which gives me the raw power of regular expressions to force consistent formatting of text, and I've turned the applet links into javascript links to mount a Java applet on page. Hooray for content! (I've lost count of the amount of languages used in my folio now updated source here.)

Dynamic Java applet mounting is performed with my appletobject.js (thanks fjen for spotting the typo). There's a thread on how to use it.
