freehg.org
A few days ago I 'launched' a small site for hosting mercurial repositories: freehg.org.
It's not particularly designed to serve as a project's home base, (like the various sourceforgish sites,) but more for quickly posting a tech demo you've been working on, or to easily share your ongoing contributions to a project.
Mercurial is great for things like that, but it can be a pain to set up a public repository. Ok, so it's easier than with subversion, but I still find it annoying. Hence, freehg.org. You just type in the name you want, hit the enter key, and you have a public repository. (Providing you've logged in first, of course.)
I wanted to use a little javascript to accent the front page, so I took the opportunity to learn a little more of jQuery. Stringing().lots().of().method().calls().together() seems just wrong [*], but I can't argue with the results. Unobtrusive javascript techniques that were once painfully tedious have become... fun.
