YouTube - Retrieving video information in javascript
Nothing is probably more frustrating for a developer than a framework/api providing some feature but not documenting it. No doubt, this would have happened to you multiple times. For me, two very different frameworks (well one was a framework and the other an api) posed the challenge over the last week to explore them without complete documentation.
PayPal - IPN validation calls need to go to sandbox system when payment was made on sandbox environemnt

So, lets now come to the topic of this blog post, Ext.clone in ExtJs/Touch resulting in stack overflows while trying to clone an object containing circular references.
ExtJs and iScroll - Scrolling Ext containers on Touch devices (iPad, iPhone etc.) using iScroll 4
I yesterday did a very interesting thing, integrating ExtJs with the excellent iScroll 4 script from Matteo Spinelli that would make my ExtJs containers intuitively scrollable on Touch devices (especially iPad) giving them a more native scrolling feel.
