I was stuck behind this battered scrap truck the other day and laughed out loud when I saw what was written on the back. If you are going to cuss someone, at least spell it right.

Don’t say we didn’t tell you – we haven’t got time to check every bin for tramps you know.

I don’t read papers much, I prefer the internet. Almost infinite choice of sources. Searchable. Copy and pastable.  Refinable.

Reading through the small ads of a local paper today, I could not believe how difficult it was to find what I was looking for.  Such a narrow choice. No search function.  Just a sea of unsorted nonsense.  There are better ways.

Internet searches can be global but the technology is also necessary for local area searches to make the process actually work. Newspaper adverts, your time is up.

Being a web designer is all well and good, but moving to a Mac for development has just taught me a lesson.  I develop in Firefox and test in Safari as well while I am at it.  I run Parallels and Bootcamp for Windows so I can in theory test in Internet Explorer 6 & 7. But being on the Mac makes me lazy.  Sites just work how they are supposed to in Firefox and Safari as they are well behaved browsers.

I rolled out a Textpattern version of FCS Websites and it all looked great. On the Mac.  It turns out that the front page layout was completely cocked in Internet Explorer 6 & 7, and so was the portfolio page.  I am looking for a smiley that can express how embarassed I am right now, but there isn’t one.

Lesson for today, kids:  “If you are a web designer, at least make sure your own site works on the dominant web browser.”
