IE Quirks

By Ben, on September 29th, 2009%

Did you know that if you link more than 30 css stylesheets Internet Explorer won’t recognise anything past the 30th? Neither did I and what a waste of time disocvering that was.

Luckily Drupal has a feature where it can take all of your css files and make them into a single on to save file . . . → Read More: IE Quirks

District 9

District 9 is finally coming out in Thailand this week. Usually films come out here when they’re released in the US, but there are odd cases such as this one where they release later.

Today’s random MSN Messenger conversation stared with Oui asking me how to spell something and ended with “BITCH! GET MY KATAMARI!” from me, all in a matter of about 10 lines.

Oui went for an interview yesterday and they must have liked him because they offered him the job on the spot, begging him not to tell . . . → Read More: Randomness Is Fun

Aussie ISP’s Suck

By Ben, on September 2nd, 2009%

When I first got onto the internet dialup was king, the information superhighway was a twinkle in someones eye and broadband wasn’t even a word (it still isn’t). The slow speeds made me hesitate with every mouse click because I was constantly concerned about the amount of time it would take for wherever that click lead.

You see, I was quick to realise that the internet held more content than I could ever hope to possibly digest in my lifetime, and as there were only so many hours in the day that I could devote to it I had to choose wisely to make the best use of the time I had.
