HELLO WORLD

Just a quick pointer over to more discussion of the FizzBuzz meme.

note to self: IE Sucks

I finally found this bug (on Rob Kennedy’s Blog) out after assuming it was just one of those usual differences between how IE/firefox calls work.

Notiticed this today from a search using the search box in IE7. Is google trying something new or have I just missed this before?

and i'm sure QuadsZilla will be happy that i said "is"

"It annoys the pig!" .will become my new phrase for anything that gets in the way of writing code.

while it would be great to have programmers who are also great at sales, graphic design, system administration, and cooking, it's unrealistic. Like teaching a pig to sing, it wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Gonna have to give this a go.

Ruby, Rails, Apache2, and Ubuntu Breezy (5.10)

I've been playing with the new IE7 public beta for the last 30mins

Things i've noticed so far - i don't know how this compares with the betas that have been on msdn as I don't have access:

• It looks, to me, like it renders the pages as an image, [at least when you zoom to a smaller size (ctrl+wheeldown)]. Makes the page look "fake" to me.
• talking of zoom - the CTRL+wheel now zooms the page, as in opera, rather than changing the font-size, ala IE6/firefox.
• it dosen't seam to style my H1 correctly when it has an image inside it. <h1><img src="myheadergraphic.gif" />Header text</h1>. The bottom-border on the h1 renders inside the box - or the content overlaps the border.
• clicking on the arrow on a dropdown triggers the content filter pop-up blocker thingy saying "Pop-up blocked. To see this pop-up oradditional options click here" clicking on the bar only lets me change general settings not enable dropdowns. this happens wether the dropdown in question has any js enabled or not. I can use the keyboard to flick though the options though???

I'm sure i can fix some of this and come up with more given some more time.

back to work...
