a new look
The regular visitor will note the minor redesign, I hope you like it and it works for you. Check out the new about this site section for more info.
There is now an option for all those who hate the purple – try the high contrast stylesheet from the right hand panel.
I’m still fixing minor bugs here, there is still loads of code held in the database that drives this site that will cause it not to validate as xhtml, however many pages do validate (unfortunately not this one!)
new toys
I haven’t posted the last few days due to having a new Linux box to install Debian and KDE on… yum! Give me 2 weeks before I’m moaning about it refusing to work… actually I still have to configure the sound card so make that two days.
I came across this site this evening. Lots to read and interesting web standards and css-p stuff too.
I’ve been ranting again
“.. we need to step back from our endless battle to make it look the same across all platforms. We can’t make our site look the same on a PDA as a 21″ monitor, we can’t make our site ‘the same’ for someone on a speaking browser, and although things are improving there are still differences in support and implementation of various W3C standards. Let go, its not going to look the same….”

Oooo … a new Mozilla
Mozilla 0.9.7 has been released. I’m using it now and its lovely and fast. My one niggle with Netscape 6.2 is the fact that it is slow on my system in comparison to IE6 – Mozilla is beating IE6 hands down in terms of speed.. this is good.
