IE Can Suck The Lint Off My Nuts

God, I hate Internet Explorer. I really fucking do. I’ve been spending the last few days trying to make Phillybred.com XHTML 1.1 compliant which is not a hard to do, just soooo fucking tedious. I have to go back and edit 520+ entries correcting stupid shit that worked in WordPress 1.x but not 2.x like line breaks and alternate image tags.

But my major problem has been cross-browser compatibility. With the lack of my sidebar, PhillyBred.com simply craps out in Internet Explorer, especially the footer. I don’t want to alienate 75% of my reasdership by going “Too Cool for IE” but I’m really between a rock and a hard place. And all of this editing is keeping me from posting. God I hate IE.

Happy Holidays

Fruit Cake

You know what, fruit cake isn’t all that bad, or maybe that’s the Absolut talking. I hope everyone and theirs has a great holiday season. Be safe, have fun and don’t do any shit I wouldn’t do.

The Evils Of Greyhound

I’d planned on going into the details of my Atlanta trip later this weekend but I had to say something about 16+ hour bus ride that my frat brothers and myself had to endure. To even use the word Hell would be a understatement. It’s more like going through torture, sitting in a small box with sweaty fat man farting and weezing on you while you’re trying to sleep. And once you actually manage to drift off to sleep, somebody is flicking the lights on and off. Everything is rattling, and theres a constant draft, blowing on your neck and did I mention the sweat fat man, farting and weezing on me? Needless to say, if I ever go anywhere in the near future, I will be flying.

Forgive My Mess

I really can’t help myself, I went ahead and upgraded to WordPress 2 RC which effectively killed have of my plugins. And not even the superfical ones like comment counter but the necessary ones like Bot-Check and phpexec. So with sans functionally and getting spam every hour I felt like a change. Yeah I know I just finished butchering up my Kubrick template a few weeks ago, but as much as I like a minimalist look, all that white looked too BLAND. So here’s a new masthead and a new background. By the way did I mention that I scraped my sidebar?

Free To Be

I still can’t look at the camera but I can still be true to me.
