Hacking for Christ

Just wanted to say that your 'full list' link points to //localhost/ - you might want to change it :) .

Neil T.: Fixed - thanks :-)

I think you've been very kind to Odeon. The current site, even with plain text film times, would have been in the top 10 worst sites 10 years ago (in fact I think it was...). Even in Internet Explorer the site is appalling.

Maybe the new site will be better, but I very much doubt it with the public slating the old site has had and the lack of change that it has resulted int.

I could be mistaken, but I think the Times article on "Remixing the web" has some borked linked in it.

"More recently, both the desire and ability to remix have been fired by a Firefox extension called greasemonkey.mozdev.org."
It's my guess that was meant to read, "a Firefox extension called __Greasemonkey__" (__link__ -> greasemonkey.mozdev.org)

Likewise:
"Each set of changes Greasemonkey can make is controlled by userscripts.org user script, which it runs automatically whenever you visit the script's target site."
I might expect "is controlled by a __user_script__, which ..." (__link__ -> userscripts.org, though that one might be in the air. At the very least, I'd expect the article 'a' to be present, but to the pedant in me, a user script can come from anywhere...userscripts.org is just the most convenient repository.

Otherwise, a great article! :)

John Silvestri: Thanks; I've forwarded your note to my editor, and asked him to fix it. :-)
