Hung Chow calls work and says, “Hey, boss I no come work today, I really sick. I got headache, stomach ache and my legs hurt, I no come work.” The boss says, “You know Hung Chow, I really need you today. When I feel like that I go to my wife & tell her give me sex. That makes everything better and I go work. You try that.” Two hours later Hung Chow calls again. “Boss, I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon. You got nice house! So I have been working on the theme on my site and while I still have a few things to do (including editing TinyMCE to do proper quoting of text and of code as well as embedded gallery images) but feel it is much better. For a start it looks much better in Internet Explorer. Internet explorer is a pain to work with for websites, especially its CSS processing. It makes up its own rules and does what it wants, so I have extra stylesheets for IE to make it do what firefox and opera do. Saying that, firefox is not perfect either, as I found it rendered some things wrong too whereas opera actually did what I expected. This is not to say that opera is the best at following standards as I had to add some extra stylesheets as it had a few glitches I could not figure out why. It is a shame that browsers cannot actually follow standards properly (though I had some fun when I did not have the DOCTYPE as the first text in the page and the browsers then reverted to a non-standard renderer (as opposed to XHTML). That really had me confused for a while as the whole of the embedded gallery was showing with huge fonts. According to The Register, Students think mainframes are cool Bit of a shock, though I do wish I could have had the chance to play with them at uni… I am struggling to find time to learn much about them during work so it will probably be a slow road to actually using them. The week before last I bought a 75-300mm lens for my camera on ebay. So last weekend I took it to Battersea Park to try it out. I took a few too many photos. One or two of the photos are cropped, but they should be obvious. The rest are what I got with up to 300mm zoom. The lens is wonderful, though with a polariser (which came free on it) you need plenty of sunlight to get a high enough shutter speed to hold it by hand. I would love a stabilising lens, but they are expensive If I have ever seen a case of too much time on your hands, this would be it: Quake Done Quick and Quake II Done Quick [Google Video] They are actually very, very impressive but I cannot help but wonder if they were actually done by a person, or if they were scripted as the rocket and grenade jumps are so perfectly timed.
