PageFlakes integration

PageFlakes is one of those up and coming "Ajax Start Pages" that are starting to become popular. Anyway, Christoph Janz informed me that they've created a YubNub component. Love the command history!

param rocks

Just wanted to mention that Allen Ormond's "param" command is great. It lets you take an existing multiple parameter command like strReplace:

strReplace -find a -replace o -string banana

and create an easier version of it (strRep in this case):

strRep a; o; banana

Basically it lets you separate parameters with semicolons instead of keywords.

Allen Ormond's eop command

Allen just created a fantastic command called eop that makes it easy to create those commands that go to different URLs depending on whether or not a parameter is given (example). The beauty part is that he fashioned it entirely out of existing YubNub commands. It is truly a work of art (and as with many commands, I haven't yet fully grokked how it works). Check it out:

ifthen -value1 {strfind -find ${token=@}${token=@} -string %s} -value2 0 -test equal -then {strreplace -find ${token=@} -replace -string %s} -else ${else}

It's as elegant (and impenetrable :-) as a terse regular expression.
