here's a bookmarklet that will let you browse the weekly archives of thelist@lists.evolt.org

it will first prompt you for the YYYYMMDD date of the Monday of the week that you want to see -- usually the current week, but you can use it for any other week just as easily

it should work just like this --

onclick="javascript:week=prompt('Enter YYYYMMDD (must be a Monday)','20000117');if(week)location='http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-'+week+'/date.html'">

here's the code --

javascript:

week=prompt(

'Enter YYYYMMDD (must be a Monday)'

, '20000117');

if(week)

location =

'http://lists.evolt.org/archive/'

+ 'Week-of-Mon-' + week

+ '/date.html'

if you want to use this bookmarklet, just copy the code out of the following box, paste it into the location field of a new bookmark or favorite, and voila

optionally, you can then move the bookmark/favorite to your personal toolbar or links bar, where it will be most handy

enjoy!

My involvement with evolt.org goes back to 1998, as one of the original founders. I'm an SQL consultant who dabbled in web development for several years, in the "golden age" between HTML 2 and XHTML 1.1. My web sites are r937.com and rudy.ca. I live in Toronto, Canada, and you are all cordially invited to come and visit and play a round of frisbee golf with me.
