A google-esque typeahead/autocomplete thingy...maybe I'll turn this into a full-blown extension widget thing eventually!

Give it focus and it'll capture keyboard shortcuts kind of like the widgets you see in OS X apps. Useful for letting users set hotkeys. I should probably turn this into a jQuery plugin one day. Let me know if you have any suggestions or code critiques!
<h4>Click on the box and enter a new keyboard shortcut:</h4>
<input id="shortcut-box"><button id="clear-shortcut-box">clear</button>

Created September 6, 2012 16:46
Automatic LaTeX re-rendererer
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# refresh_latex
# Automagically re-render LaTeX files and open the result in a PDF reader.
# Using Skim we can do all of this without losing focus to the editor,
# although I provide code to somewhat accomplish this with Preview.app
#
# As of right now it only works in OS X since it uses the "open" command.
# Feel free to port it to any platform you want to

Userstyle for Gradiance (that silly website my compilers class uses for homework)
/*
* Userstyle for Gradiance (www.newgradiance.com)
*
* Goals:
* - use a sans-serif font (the author failed at CSS and screwed up font-family)
* - make the background color easier on the eyes (white and grey vs. blue and other crap)
* - remove annoying blue colors for the sake of consistency
