Restarting scripts in Opera after you stopped them

Opera has a nice feature, whereby each message box created from a Javascript offers you an option to stop running scripts for the given page. This is very nice if you are using alerts to debug your script and you’ve just realized that you have created an infinite loop by mistake :-D.
However, once you’ve corrected the mistake, you might want to test it again ;-). Reloading the page doesn’t work, you will have to close the page and get bit back from the trash.

Or, from they keyboard do:

Ctrl+W (to close the current tab)
Ctrl+Shift+T (to reopen the last closed tab)

First of a nifty tool for all of you (us?) people using RDP: Terminal Server Ping Tool. What’s even better, it’s written in Delphi and the full source code is available.

Opera 9.5 is out, making problems with older versions obsolete. At the same time, via the the Think Vitamin website, Opera Dragonfly. This seems to be their response to Firebug. It is good to see that browsers give developers the tools needed to do their job quickly and efficiently.

Also a quick Perl news: a new module called autodie is in the works to correct some of the deficiencies of use Fatal. Look at the introductory video for more details.
