My Ajaxian co-hort, Ben, has a very geeky home page. Combine this with the fact that I had over a 3 hour flight to SXSW, and you get competition.
I am announcing my entry into the geeky home page competition:
The best feature is being able to type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and see the tabs switch to more geeky languages.
What is your entry? What language should I add?

Nice,
But your Java version can create multiple Dion if getInstance() is called from multiple threads ;-)

Haha that’s really cool! Very original!

Nice; here’s a version that uses bash.

@Emmanuel: each thread simply represents a parallel universe. :-)
The Javascript version would be much geekier if instead of a simple static link you
captured the onclick event and then dynamically read in the displayed Javascript code (stripping the HTML) and then performed an eval on it to change window.location.
After those brilliant insights, can I have a job at Google now?

I think there’s something wrong with your copy of TextMate: the JavaScript language at the bottom doesn’t change when you go to other languages! ;P

Nice! But the first thing I tried to do was close the Java tab, and that didn’t work. LAME! :-)

Other options are:
SQL:
SELECT BLOG FROM www WHERE DOMAINNAME= “http://almaer.com/”
Gears API: However this works for http://almaer.com/ domain
var localServer = google.gears.factory.create(’beta.localserver’);
var store = localserver.openStore(’MyBlogs’);
var files=["http://almaer.com/blog/"]
var captureId=store.capture(files,callback)
Java:
class Dion
{
myBlogsList.add(”http://almaer.com/blog/”);
myBlogsList.add(”http://ajaxian.com/”);
techSocialList.add(”http://twitter.com/dalmaer”);
}

@Emmanuel I don’t know if *I* am multi-threaded ;)

@glenn I should definitely implement that. I am going to let people create a new file too which will create a new tab and when they save the file it will email me the contents. And, then if I keep going I will create textmate online ;)

I couldn’t resist.
function relocator(url) {
return function() { window.location = url };
};
function setLocators(object, urlHash) {
for (var key in urlHash)
object[key] = relocator(urlHash[key]);
};
function Dion() {
setLocators(this, {
