#22This will also be very useful for those of us with iPads, who want to code on the go. :)
To code on my iPod Touch (I learned some javaScript and) had a little HTML page with an input box and a button that would eval() the contents of the box and print the result. With HTML5's offline capabilities it even worked without connection. That worked but wasn't very pleasant, now there's JavaScript Anywhere, jsconsole and ExecScript. If you want to program in JavaScript one of those might suit you.

Since HN tends to frown on url shorteners, here's the full url:

#24I saw http:///www.coderun.com posted here the other day.
All of the images on that page are broken (in Safari). That doesn't exactly instill confidence.
You sure? http://cl.ly/3a5v

#25This is what I do on mine, Control + Alt + T; ssh user host; emacs -nw
I'm assuming this is on the CR48? So this means there is a built-in terminal system? I was wondering about that, if they'd allow you past the browser front-end or not.

whoa. Weirdness.
The clickable link above has three slashes after http instead of two. Somehow this results in a link to http:/www.coderun.com (one slash) which results in broken images in my safari: http://grab.by/7PQT

Yes, as I said in the initial post, I know that is possible, but it misses the point. This requires a host that you want to develop on and as I move more to the cloud (i.e. hosting on Heroku), I am less likely to have a server to SSH into.
It's worth having a VPS around as your dev environment. The laptop you're carrying around is extremely likely to get lost, stolen, dropped, or otherwise damaged. A VPS isn't a backup solution, but it's not at constant risk of physical harm.
Work in a screen session and you'll be able to pick up where you last left off --from any machine. Not to mention your VPS is almost certainly faster than your laptop and connected to a bigger pipe than whatever wifi you're borrowing, so downloading a .tar.gz or a git clone will be fast, and compiling won't eat up your battery life.

#28This seems like a promising implementation of Vi in Javascript: http://gpl.internetconnection.net/vi/
Nice, but heads up: it doesn't play nice with Vimium (chrome extension).
Just go into the Extensions window and then Vimium preferences; you can add this vi page to the list of "excluded URLS".

#29http://kodingen.com/ is alright.
What I see as a bonus here is that it offers multiple editors, that'd be useful if I wanted to use them on my phone and on a full machine too.

I'm always amazed at what can be found on wikipedia.
