I like my versadesk. It sits on top of my normal desk. I didn't like the button on the top though so I remounted it on the front.

I use a standing desk all day, every work day.
I have an electric Brateck Lumi desk that cost about NZ$600 (~US$420). It is a decent desk with a 100kg weight allowance.
I used to have a manual wind desk, but that was just hard work and at the time I didn't have much stamina.
As for advice on the actual standing part...
- I would make sure you are eating well and getting all of the vitamins you need. (I was low in vitamin D and it really affected my stamina.)
- Eat breakfast!
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- Get an anti-fatigue mat if your standing position is on a hard surface.
- Have a chair nearby for rests.
- If you're prone to lower back pain, then don't be! Read 'Healing Back Pain' by John Sarno. It'll change your life if you're ready to believe.
- If you're prone to lower back pain, here's a greeeeeat stretch:
1. Get 2 x wedges, large enough for to stand on. The angle of the wedges should be around 22.5-25 degrees.
2. Place them both sloping outwards (like a house ridge), but a little apart.
3. Stand one foot on each, with the outside of each foot parallel with the side of the wedge.
4. Bend knees slightly, push knees out to side with consistent pressure, and hang forwards at the waist.
5. Position your bottom above your feet. The ideal position is where you're almost teetering forwards.
6. Maintain outward pressure at knees and slightly bent knees.
7. Hang for a couple of minutes.
8. Rest.
9. Repeat.
10. Do back flips because your lower back has eased.
Any more questions let me know.

You probably will find that you want an automatically (motor) adjustable desk. Needs to go high enough to stand and then back to sitting.
I had at one one time one that went low enough that I could sit on the floor. I enjoyed the change in posture (standing, sitting in chair, then on floor.)

Does any one or specifically, @code-witch know where I might find a complete grammar for javascript in EBNF form?
Admonisions telling me to google it are best left unposted. I've been googling all morning.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

*lol* only _well formed_ languages can be expressed in EBNF 
[Edit]
And because you are not able to google or overloaded with the results, take this:
BNF for EcmaScript.jj[^]
..and no, EBNF for javascript will _not_ be easy to go through

You are the parsing/language master here Observed by me since ... and you are really good on that, at least for me

Thanks!
I knew you would be the one to have such a thing or know where to get it. I am grateful.

Good luck in your endeavor. I hope you don't have to interpret that language!

Thanks again. I'm going to use the grammar to drive an infragistics syntax highlighting control. And to parse it so that I can format it from minified into readable form.

Forgive me, but a grammar isn't the best way to approach that.
Syntax highlighting is usually done these days in pro systems using a combination of regular expressions and anchors.
Minification is done even more easily, simply by tossing out whitespace around most tokens and skipping strings. You barely need to lex.
A grammar is going to make it slow, hard to debug, and a lot harder to code. Just my $0.02. Been to this rodeo a few times.

I do appreciate the advice.
What is your recommendation, given that lexing and parsing are beyond me right now. I don't know enough about either one.
But I have this Infragistics control and it uses EBNF files to highlight and parse. Right now it looks like my best option.

Well if you already have a control that uses EBNF grammars, go ahead and use that, I suppose.
Except i doubt it will handle comments properly for reasons. You'll want to check. particularly with /* */ in the middle of wo/*like this*/rds
I'd have probably used ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit if i was starting from scratch but that would just be a starting point for me.
Your minification shouldn't use it at all i think though.
What you'll want to do is make code that skips javascript strings and comments.
And then from there you'll want to take what's left over and reduce all whitespace runs to a single space. If you want to get more minified than that you can eliminate all space except when two identifiers are next to each other.

Wow. It sounds like you like your pain in large doses. Do you golf as well?

 I like imagining that I'm doing worthwhile stuff. Whether I really am, is anybody's guess.

Thank you very much volunteers to let that through, most probably Paul or Richard or Nelek

You are welcome

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not gonna lie, Pavarotti made Bono look sound like a contestant at a small town karaoke night.
Not that he was awful - but they're just not in the same class.
