Jonathan’s post about Asynchronous JavaScript with XmlHttpRequest (AJAX) caught my eye. As noted in Jonathan’s post, using the XmlHttpRequest object isn’t new…it has been available in Internet Explorer for a long time, certainly since late 1999/2000. Indeed, it is only now that other browsers are appearing on the scene and more of us find ourselves with always-on Internet connections that AJAX comes of age. Like Jonathan, I’m looking forward to getting my hands dirty with it, very soon. There’s more about AJAX-based applications over here.

I also found a link to DHTML Lemmings in Jonathan’s post…uh oh, I can see hours of my time going out the door…I overplayed Lemmings when I had it for my Archimedes during the late 80s and early 90s. Ok, ok, Jonathan’s post title did mention it too, but I didn’t think the game would be this realistic.

Move over Patience and Solitaire, your days are numbered.
