Glad you like it, thanks!

The homepage for this and the exchange rates API was designed in-browser, i had a lot of time on my hands thanks to two back-to-back 8 hour flights.

Naturally it's based on the HTML5 boilerplate (http://www.html5boilerplate.com) - HTML done by hand, but if there is a template service, I'd love to know about it.

The colours are mostly taken from Solarized Dark colour scheme and modified a bit: (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized)

And the sandbox demo console is something i threw together just for this but released on github (http://josscrowcroft.github.com/javascript-sandbox-console/)

PS The robot (currencybot) came from http://robohash.org using the text 'CurrencyBot' :)
