hey-is this Working? I’m posting this from my Newton!
ouch. i have been told
Grant sent me some screenshots that made my toes curl. The shots were how this site looked in various Mac browsers. I think that it looked like, well, ass because of the font settings. I’ve gotten rid of all of the Helveticas now – apparently things are a lot nicer for Mac people now. w00t.
we’re there, for now
or, why browsers suck. IE doesn’t like it when an element’s position is absolute but only its margins are defined, not its position (ie. margin-left is defined, not left) IE doesn’t like semantic absolute font sizes (like “small” instead of “10pt”) I really don’t like Verdana as a font – Tahoma looks much closer to […]
it has been brought to my attention…
that this site looks like crap in Internet Exploder. Although part of me doesn’t care, another part of me, strangely, does. So I guess I’ll have to fix it. Grrgh.
still tweakin’
I’m still playing around with the design, of course. I’ve gone back to my yellow, green, and light grey colour scheme for now – I liked it on the old site, so I decided to keep it. Oh, BTW, if you’d like to see what my old page looked like for comparison, it’s still here. […]
Of Big Oil, By Big Oil, For Big Oil: The 10 Most Startling Speculations and “Conspiracy Theories” about September 11 and America’s New War. Man, that’s a long title. This is just a great summary on most of the shenanigans that the United States is pulling.
drama in the desert
On Thursday night we went and saw our friends, the Erin Smith Band play in Guelph. It’s cool to have a band as friends, especially when the band is as good as ESB. They played two sets, and while both Sandy and I thought that they took a few songs to get warmed up (hey, […]
And the winner is…
The winner of the “Website that I envy most” award goes to… Adam Tow for tow.com!!! A close runner-up to Grant Hutchinson for splorp. tow.com borrows lots of ideas from Philip Greenspun and for good reason. I own a copy of Philip and Alex’s Guide to Web Publishing and while it might feel out of […]
I can’t believe I forgot this: RIP bunch
On Saturday morning I checked the EFNet #newton IRC channel like I always do and heard some shocking news: a long-time channel member, bunch, had died. It was kind of surreal, as I’ve never known anyone online who had died before. I moped around most of the morning, with kind of a dull feeling in […]
SONUG, Palm keyboards and phones, oh my!
SONUG was great. We met on Sunday, had some pints, had a LOT of great discussion and showing-off, and generally a good time was had by all. John Charlton came all the way from Royal Oak, Michigan, and I think we showed him a good time. Curiously absent were Peter Cameron and Stephanie Maks – […]
