IE6 & Lower

Todd — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:37:43 +0000

You may have noticed, if you’re viewing this site in IE6 or lower, that it is all borked. “Does the owner of this site not know how to optimize it for IE6 or lower?”

Yes. Do I care to fiddle around endlessly moving things around and dealing with bugs from and ancient and archaic browser used by people that either do not know hoe to upgrade or simply cannot becaue their companies won’t/don’t allow it (among other countless and pointless reasons).

“Why all the fuss?”

I’ve been dinking around with it for too long, so simply put, in this brief online post, I will not and never will again, optimize this site for anything lower than IE7. please do the world and yourself a favor, upgrade your version of IE if you must use it.

It’s Coming Together!

Getting the site into the shape that I want has taken a long time, but it’s slowly getting there. You may have noticed some changes if you come here often and look around, you may not have noticed. I am working on getting my site to where it should be. New, improved and user-friendly with some little hidden gems you won’t see or notice right away.

I’ve wrangled up some jquery tidbits and implemented them into the site for the log in to the admin panel, the 404 page, and coming soon to a couple other things as well. I’ll keep those a secret for right now.

Next is an HTML version of my resume that will be viewable on the site and will support a PDF and DOC version (printable) with some CSS goodness sprinkled on top.

Stay tuned!

As You Can See…

the site is going under a major face lift. You can feel free to report any issues or critiques. This will be a bit messy until I get all the rough edges cleaned up.

I recently put this blog on the NetworkedBlogs list on Facebook. If you have a Facebook account and have NetworkedBlogs and find you like what I rant and rave about, then please add six03 as a favorite, add us to your list and follow me!

I’ll have another article up in a few days, I have a lot of time now to write another one, this one is going to be about standards and the battle of why they don’t “suck”, as some people would have you led to believe. A little hard work never killed anyone did it? Well, with regards to web design anyways.

My 1st Article

Todd — Tue, 19 May 2009 14:27:49 +0000

Well, it is up. I hope I did a decent job and would appreciate feedback. You can find the article here.

I’d like to thank Chris Fearon for the opportunity to write up my very 1st article.

I’ve been asked, kindly by a colleague, to write an article for the site. I feel honored to have been asked to do so. So I’ll be writing something up within the next few days or so, just as soon as things calm down here as far as I go and I’ll be posting a link soon.

What Is Going On?

Well, it was an eventful past seven days. An outage by the host and a lot going on, so let’s run this all down in a nutshell, huh?

Projects are going along smoothly, which can be checked out in the lab section, I have no work as of now, and I am looking for any freelance stuff anyone may need done. I do have to get on a WordPress theme I have been working on, i just need to get the styling done and may release it as a theme to the public.

Life is busy. Two kids and better weather mean baseball and all sorts of events for my two children. Looking for full-time work also, so, I think that goes without saying.

Host went down with some sort of failure with a server. I made some comments and ruffled a few feathers. it is what it is. lost a lot of e-mails, two days worth, so if you sent something out to me and did not receive a response at the end of last week, you now know why.

Will post some web design articles soon.

Enjoying the nice weather and hating the mosquitos and black flies here in New Hampshire.

Enjoy your week!

Outage

Lost a couple posts and a couple comments. Pardon the burp and I’ll try and get to posting those lost posts again.

I can’t wait for Game 4. Will Michael Ryder hammer the nail in the coffin? We’ll see. Go Bruins!

It’s Time To End The Misery of IE6

A great article, superbly written by Bruce Lawson, check it out, read it through and make the argument for or against. I think the majority will be with Bruce on this one, I know I am. Finely written Bruce!
