How many blog posts start with the words "Sorry I've not been blogging much recently, but I resolve to post more often from now". Such a post may be followed by some actual substance, before the silence re-starts. This is not one of those posts. Ge

2 Wrongs Making a Right: (false && false) = true
I just had one of those times when I thought I totally lost the ability to do simple logic. Take a look at this screenshot: I'll break it down: req.readyState = 4, and batch.async = false. Last time I checked 4 = 4. So blatantly (4 != 4) is false
