why do i always think a redesign will be fun?

yeah. i don’t know what gets into my head.

i’ve spent three to four hours for the past two nights trying to fix my new layout so it will work in internet fucking explorer. that is its official name, by the way: “internet fucking explorer.” i don’t care if 90% of the world uses it as its primary browser; it is a piece of shit.

so, anyway, this OUGHT to work better. at least, it works structurally in IE for the mac, most of the time. i have no idea what it looks like on IE for the pc, because, in a when-hell-freezes-over kind of way, i do not own one. i can check it at work tomorrow or if one of my three very kind and helpful pc-using friends whose names start with a “b” can check for me, that’ll be even better. šŸ™‚

i’m beyond caring how it looks on IE mac, but i would like it to work in IE pc simply because i have a lot of readers who use that particular platform and browser — and much as i would prefer that to be different, it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon. anyway, mac IE seems to be a good litmus test for pc IE — at least IE5.5.

i forgot to upload this last week. it actually rained!! i was so excited that i took photos on the way to work, but forgot my camera’s usb cable so couldn’t actually upload any. don’t worry, i had the camera stationary on the steering wheel and just hit the button without actually aiming or composing. my eyes were on the road the whole time!

this first one was taken at the intersection of northwest highway and buckner.


this one was taken at the end of my street, looking across plano road towards the sonic (open for breakfast! shining that bright red neon glow through the windows of the houses! “you’ll never forget we have tater tots and strawberry cheesecake shakes, any time of the day or night!!!!”)

  1. Heh, you need to approach it as a learning process. Something I’ve learned to do after a project like this is list as many things as I can that I know afterwards that I did not know before. That helps me see the value in it. FYI, “IE sucks monkey balls” should not make the list but will make you feel better.

    Looks great in Firefox and IE 6.0 on my pee-cee. I have no idea what it looks like on IE for the mac because I do not have one in a “what’s a mac and why would I have one?” sort of way. šŸ˜‰

  2. Oh and you’ll be happy to know that Firefox is making great strides in the browser market, up to 18-20% last time I checked. Competency is a beautiful thing in the open market.
