// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

# Setting up dnsmasq for Local Web Development Testing on any Device
Please note, these instructions are for OS X Lion.
First, you need to get the IP address of your machine on your local network. In OS X, the easiest place to find this is in System Preferences > Network. If you're using DHCP on your local network, you will want to make sure your computer requests the same IP address when it renews it's IP address lease. I recommend configuring the DCHP Reservation settings on your router to accomplish this. Otherwise, you can specify a manual address in your network settings:
1. Go to *System Preferences > Network*
1. Click *Advanced...*

Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
