What, who, where am I?!?
Craig Lotter is a web developer based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa, who seems completely incapable of shaking off that pesky inner child within, the one that forces him to love all things animated or hand drawn.
The Rugged Rock of Craig contains snippets of his life, popular culture and all the important things like anime, manga, games and comic books. The CodeUnit of Craig on the other hand contains the more serious stuff like code snippets and tutorials, while the House of C chronicles his foray into the world of web comics.
For which it never seems he has enough time anyway.

JavaScript: Calculate the Number of Days in a Month
A simple way to calculate how many days are in a month in Javascript is to leverage Javascript’s built in date overflow feature – basically if you give it an incorrect date it automatically adjusts it to the correct one by assuming that the overflow are days which need simply to be added to the given date.
