FreeThesaurus.net - new official DC web service, is now up and running!
mouser:
Don't forget that Nick has recently put his toe in the water as a freelance artist, so if you know a business that might want to hire him for some design work, drop him a line.
Carol Haynes:
Absolutely brilliant (and really elegant too) - but can I ask two questions:
1) How do you get the yellow definition panels (I am using Firefox) ?
2) If I leave FreeThesaurus.net open in a tab I find my keyboard really sluggish in other tabs - is there any way to fix that or should I simply close the thesaurus tab when I finish?

Thx Carol,
1. To get the yellow definition panels, move mouse cursor over a word/phrase - if you have javascript enabled, they should display properly.
2. Hmm maybe your browser has a problem with my ajax scripts, just click on "Disable quick dictionary" and "Disable live suggest" on the top-right corner.

Seems to work in Internet Explorer but it doesn't seem to work for me in Firefox 2.0.0.6

Using Firefox, I have disabled both but I still have the problems in other tabs - unresponsive mouse highlighting of text and typing playing slow catch up as I type. Once I close the thesaurus tab everything is back to normal.
mouser:
that slowdown you are experiencing is an invisible window where cody is doing a dance. it's true you can't see it, but just knowing that your computer cpu is being used for a complex physics simulation of Cody doing his special Worm dance should bring you immense satisfaction and outweight any sluggish pc performance.
