Am I color blind? As I sit here pounding the keyboard on a late night, get-it-done-before-the-deadline (that's tomorrow), I stumbled upon's Eric Costello's standards compliant Blogger template with DOM-based font customization features and silly randomly morphing color scheme. See it here - you might think you need your eyes checked too! (Tip: I had to refresh in some browsers to get it to work.) Posted in General at Aug 22 2002, 06:15:32 PM MDT Add a Comment

How do you sell Web Standards? Don't sell. Show. Posted in The Web at Aug 22 2002, 07:04:22 AM MDT Add a Comment

Reason to QA your site. This guy seems to work for Microsoft, and you can tell, have you looked at his blog in Mozilla? It gets a little ugly, not unreadable, but enough to make you wonder.

My opinion on browsers is: IE rocks on both OS X and Windows XP for one reason, and one reason only - it opens faster. That's it, the only reason I have. I really like Chimera (for OS X) and Mozilla, but they just take too long to open. I'm impatient. Even on Linux, Konquerer tends to open faster, so I use it more than Mozilla.

CSS and IE 6. Did you know that IE6/Win does not know the difference b/w dotted and dashed - view this post in Mozilla to see how it's really supposed to look. Maybe their next release will be more standards-compliant. This happens even with standards-compliant mode turned on. Posted in The Web at Aug 22 2002, 02:51:49 AM MDT Add a Comment

Struts Code Generator for Eclipse. Easy Struts 0.5.0 just released. This is a code generator that seems like a nice product - I've installed it, but never used. I think these types of tools are great for developers that love to use an IDE. If you're like me and you prefer a good ol' text editor - this tool won't help you.

Mornings are great again. The station I found yesterday DOES broadcast Mark and Brian - awesome! It's actually one of the best internet radio broadcasts I've ever heard (besides the network drops), they play music during the commercials to get around the internet radio issue.
