My technical meanderings and other nonsense. Published since 2002. No, really. I'm *that* internet-old. I remember the days of RSS feeds of specific sites are great – but I prefer RSS feeds, as the result of a search. Let’s say I am interested in Blog A, because Blog A discusses the topic, Topic A. I subscribe to Blog A’s RSS feed, so I can stay informed with Topic A, from Blog A, without always [...]

Monday brain dump
Excuse me, while I have a Monday brain dump… These are some things I need to do, in regards to this site: Add a STRICT XHTML doctype, and conform to it accordingly.

New Firefox version, or bust
I seriously hope the latest version of Firefox improves on some loopholes, because I am thinking about dumping it, on the Mac. Firefox works great on Windows. But with a Mac, it doesn’t “blend well” with the system. It doesn’t feel very “Mac like.” Also, it has so many irritations – such as tabbed browsing, [...]
Hottest ticket in town
The hottest ticket in town, this summer, has just arrived to my mailbox: Can’t wait for that.
Misleading CSS link declarations
When declaring your link styles in CSS, it’s often misleading what order they should go, in the code. General CSS theory states that your CSS link declarations should follow this order: link, visited, hover, active However, it’s natural tendency (at least for me) to put the hover pseudo–class BEFORE visited, or SECOND in line.
