Racktables is an old-school datacenter rack visualisation script. Doesn't really look like much, but is the (IMHO) most stable solution out there at the moment. The standard rack overview will return the net capacity of a rack, which is not very helpful; we're more interested in how many servers we can add. This function will render how may totally free U are left. The function is modeled on the standard 'getRSUforRack' in functions.php, and is integrated into the racktables interface.php in the same places.

Firefox still is the best browser for powerusers, hands down.

$("input.ipaddressparts").keypress(function(evt) {
          if (evt.which == '46' || evt.which == '32') {  // dot or space
                  evt.preventDefault();
                  $(this).next().focus().select();
          }
});

This piece of sheer awesomeness will skip to the next input field of a four-input IP address form. The preventDefault() prevents the space or dot from being printed. and the jquery .next command will skip to the next similar input element.

jQuery makes javascript very painless and we love it!

One of the problems with javascript is that most of the web searches for documentation render bad or sub-par websites on (stuff like w3schools or other less ideal pages). PromoteJS is a mechanism (akin to googlebombing) aiming to enhance the search engine results for oft-used searches for stuff like Javascript, Javascript string and other search options.

The observant might spot that this blog entry itself is an example of this campaign...
