I've set up a job board, which can be found here: JavaScript Ninja JavaScript Jobs.
Just a quick post, in a follow-up to this one on JavaScript Jobs: I still have a ton of JavaScript jobs sent my way (all the way from simple contract work up to full-blown expert-level developer positions), [...]

I've got another crazy-weird setTimeout/setInterval behavior that you may not know about. However, unlike my previous discovery, this one may actually be useful.

clearInterval( interval );
}, 100);[/js]

A crude JavaScript implementation of the first stage of Super Mario Brothers has been making the rounds today. It's roughly playable but misses many key aspects (no mushrooms, no flag, no one-ups, etc.). However, that's not what's particularly interesting about the game.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the application is not within the game mechanics [...]
