VegUISiteKit: Debug Console

The first time i started to code with javascript was back in 1998 and since then i always debugged my code by alerting various debug messages as the script was processing. Using alert messages has a few disadvantages though, first of it screws with any timers you may have running in the background and secondly the information is gone as soon as you close the popup. Thats why - as a part of the VSK project - i decided i've used alert messages to debug for the last time and made a little debug console that you can attach to the borders of the browser window and print your debug messages to.

Demonstration

To toggle the console on or off simply click the link below, note that clicking on the console will rotate it's position:
