The sky is falling! IE7 will suck

Category: Webdev According to Eric Meyer, IE7 beta 1's rendering model is final. Which means that all sites that appear to be broken in it ( including yours truly ), will be broken in the final release. Putting the fact that it strangely resembles a broken version of FireFox aside, my site rendered horribly. For some reason IE7 rendered my inline buttons vertically. I will have to fix the problem eventually, but I really don't want to install the ghastly thing on my system again. The install overwrites IE6, it would make compatibility test on IE6 a problem.

Sure sign of Spring?

At work, everyone are dropping like flies from sickness. We had at least 6 guys calling in sick on Friday, and my team had to guard the fort with just the 3 of us. I'm still healthy as heck though, which I attribute to my daily practice of Baji and Taiji. I don't remember ever seeing so many people getting sick in one group before, so I guess it's the flu season now. Hence only next logical conclusion is, Spring is here!. The temperature has shot up to above zero recently, the forecast of this weeks has spring written all over it as well. I'm still cautious though, Canadian winter always dies hard.

Valley of the tire crushers

This is the last time I'm riding a bike down Sherbourn street. My bike's back tire got punctured, again! To think that I had just pumped the tire at 4:40 in the morning, this pisses me off to no end. What do the bums do around there? Smash beer bottles onto the road for fun? What's up with all the glass sheards on that road? It doesn't help that I can't see them in the darkness either. Rant rant rant, vent vent vent, etc.
