Finally you can kill off dull threads... literally

In your web-address bar paste the following and hit enter:

javascript:var s = document.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';document.body.appendChild(s);s.src='http://erkie.github.com/asteroids.min.js';void(0);

You'll get a little spaceship to literally let you destroy the Flash adverts, or GricerBoy's posts, etc.

I tested in Chrome and IE8.

To the best of my knowledge there is nothing dodgy about this. Probably won't look great to play at work though.

No, can't get it to work in either IE8 or Chrome??

Groovy! It works for me in Firefox and IE8 (ignore the js error) once the space in "ht tp" has been removed.

I edited my post slightly, should be able to just copy-paste the code now. I tested it by destroying your comment prior to posting

I now have a reason to visit Monday Links.

I'm waiting for 2 things:

1. Nick to come and explain it, probably with some reference to IE6
2. Minestrone to claim he can knock up something better overnight, but isn't going to

What happens if it runs amok, and starts zapping threads you _do_ care about?

Happily/Sadly it's non-permanent. So running it on SKA will have no long-term effect.

Check out Bookmarklets. Some of them are quite useful.
