When will M$ drop support for IE6?
2008.10.08Whilst working with IE6 recently, ha, sorry I mean against IE6 - I found that a number of times I was asking (read: wishing) when support for this horrendous browser would be dropped. According to http://cmsreport.com/node/1812, support could be dropped when mainstream support for XP is dropped. Wouldn’t that be great? But hang on, isn’t everyone doing their best to avoid upgrading to Vista, hoping that M$ doesn’t drop support, or even stop allowing new PCs to be shipped with it until Windows 8? It seems that we have a bit of a conflict of interest here, meaning I don’t think there is a way of getting rid of IE6 whilst keeping XP - which is annoying, to say the least.

If you’re going to get one thing for mountain biking…
2008.08.10If you’re off mountain biking, thats proper trails riding I mean and not just a casual ride in the park, I’d recommend you buy some cycling gloves. Obviously a helmet as well, but to be honest that should be a given. Its like me suggesting you buy a bicycle to go mountain biking.
Anyway, gloves, yes. My hands feel like I’ve been rubbing them against a cheese grater all afternoon. I shall be buying some gloves before I go mountain biking again.

adobe and case sensitivity
2008.05.26Adobe why? I formatted my Mac as case sensitive HFS+ because, well, lets face it, capital letters are different from lower case letters. Imagine how disappointed I felt when I got round to installing Flash on my case sensitive filesystem. It didn’t help that it was the last thing I did after installing leopard and setting up my files and applications, since there doesn’t seem to be a way of converting case sensitive HFS+ to case insensitive HFS+.
Luckily for me, Adobe wrote a helpful tech note on this issue, and by ‘helpful’ I actually mean jaw droppingly unhelpful.
Was I asking for trouble?
