It's been a while
Writing seems to be a difficult thing to do when moving. I moved, but now I still can't write. Work is work, and there's plenty of it. I'm still confounded by the amount of traffic my entry on PNG gamma still gets. It's like the Internet is stalking me only I haven't gotten any half-eaten chocolates on my doorstep. I think I should start charging people to ask me about CSS bugs. For some reason I'm good at fixing those lately. I still want IE6 and older to finally disappear from the market. Completely restyling something to get around a rendering bug really brings down my day.
I am still undecided about my feelings towards the proposed shift from the XHTML standard back to HTML 5. On one hand, it allows a bit more compatibility and some more features, but it also allows for laziness and more display control through the markup which is how we ended up where we are today to begin with. The last thing I need is the modern equivalent of clients asking for their scrollbars to be styled.
I have also discovered I really do have some distinct pet peeves. These include: Internet Explorer, indecisiveness, and people who cut the corner when turning from your right towards the opposite lane on your left in an intersection thus nearly smashing the left side of your car. One day I will sleep again.
