Reduced size of my online pomodoro timer

Had forgotten to remove some pictures I used early in development of my online pomodoro timer. When I removed then, the size decreased from >1 MB to less than 100 KB :)

Hope this will reduce loading times significantly. If not, there is a feedback form on the third tab on the page. Feel free to report bugs or add feature suggestions.

First usable result form my playing with JavaFX

I really like the pomodoro technique. So, while learning JavaFX, I made a software kitchen timer for use with the pomodoro technique.

The result can bee seen here: http://www.itlanddata.no/the-pomodoro-technique/. Click once to start, click again to stop.

I also used the opportunity to add a little jQuery goodness to the mix, allowing you to add to do's, urgent and unplanneds, sort and move elements from one list to the other.

Oh, and it's all done client side. There's no sign up form, your data is not stored on my server. You may even drag the applet out of the browser and into your desktop if you have a jre 1.6.10 or higher, so you don't even have to visit my page.

Going to boot Windows XP on my laptop tonight..

..because I want to test JavaFX while commuting tomorrow.

I've been looking forward to JavaFX because I hope it may put an end to the current misuse of HTML for web applications by people who think that hiding javascript from the developers is a good thing.
