I ordered the new iPhone 3GS shortly after its announcement earlier this month, as I’ve wanted one for some time. I was mainly waiting for a 32GB version, which provides enough room for a reasonable (Your definition of reasonable may vary.) number of songs and videos. After anxiously awaiting its delivery, a slight mishap on delivery day, and eventual successful delivery, I excitedly unwrapped my new toy, activated it, and started transferring my media library.

Eventually I started looking for a new ringtone. The included choices are decent, including a good “old fashioned” ringer, but I wanted something more flashy—and I certainly was not going to pay $0.99 for something that would only play for up to forty seconds at a time. Luckily, iPhones ringtones are just short AAC clips, and are therefore easily created from the songs already in your music library. This article will share how to do it yourself.

While I’m far from an expert on the subject, I’ve had the opportunity to introduce jQuery to some of my fellow developers here in India. I thought I'd share the presentations in the hopes that someone else might find them useful as well.

jFootnotes is a jQuery plugin that creates and formats footnotes based on inline content. I have used it fairly extensively on this site, and thought I’d share it with the world. It has been tested with jQuery 1.2.6, but I have no reason to believe it won’t work with 1.3.x as well.

Once the module has been included in a page, it can be called as follows:

$("div").footnotes();

Pretty straightforward. By default, it will look for

• any span elements with the footnotes class, and
• any blockquote elements with a title attribute

within the outer selection (e.g., within any div elements, in this case). The matches will be extracted and moved to footnotes.
