Hey all,
I've been fiddling with JavaScript and decided to share a neat little thing (its completely useless).

Finished Code

Code:

console.log(+[[-~[]<<~[]][+[]]+[]][+[]][++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]]); //Prints 8

Now for the break down -

Pre-note - I use this function while playing with variables. It outputs the value and type of a variable. (The counter is to force the developer console to display each seperately)

Code:

Building on my previous SiteShow with Controls - Fade-in a list of web pages/URLs as a fullscreen 'SiteShow' blog post, this article shows you how to adapt the scripts to schedule in additional slides for certain times, or specific dates, using PHP.
