CSS & other stories

For the unobservant amongst you, I have modified the layout of the site. I’ve used the faux columns and negative margins tricks from A List Apart to get things looking the way I want. I’ve tested in in Firefox 0.9 (Windows & Linux), Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0, and Opera 7.53 (Linux) so far, and everything seems to be working… I’ve learnt a lot about CSS and cross-browser compatibility today!

An Internet Explorer to suit your mood

One thing I used whilst testing the design was Multiple IE’s in Windows – makes testing sooo much easier.

Sci-Fi

Never really been a big fan of the Sci-Fi genre of fiction, but after re-reading my Carl Hiassen and J.K.Rowling books for the umpteenth time I decided it was time to try something new…

I’ve just finished Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and currently reading Eastern Standard Tribe by Cory Doctorow. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by them. I think it’s because they aren’t too far fetched – they’re simply two steps beyond where we currently are – that make them so palatable.

I may have to try some more like this…
