the easy tools

• If only I had known about tooltips months ago!
  A tooltip is what you get when you hover over a word like these ones. I went off looking for how to generate them, expecting to get myself hip-deep in JavaScript, and found that this is all you have to do:
  <span title="I love tooltips.">these ones<span>
  
• If I had known about CherryPy months ago!
  With all due respect to other Python-based web application platforms like Zope, CherryPy is so much easier to get into, and soooooo satisfying. And it really does run much faster than Zope, too. Yum!
