Mouse tracking on a website

Cool little snippet for tracking the movement of a mouse on your website:


<script type="text/javascript">

function track_movement(evt)
{
document.getElementById("coords").innerHTML = "X: " evt.pageX " Y: " evt.pageY "<br />";
}

document.onmousemove = track_movement;

</script>

Fixed my iPod!

So my iPod has been broke for about a year now. It would boot up and play a few songs, then the hard drive failed to read, and would make some clicking sounds. I figured out that I could hit it on my palm a few times to make it play again, but soon that stopped working. I saw this story on digg today, and "clicks of doom" sounds quite like the problem I had. All it needed was a good 'ol HDD cable reseating! Here is a forum thread with great pictures that I used for directions. I didn't have a guitar pick, so I used a broken CD.
