OK, so after working on this til past 3AM last night, I’ve spent a few more hours on the layout. My main goal for the day of getting this thing working in all browsers was accomplished. So far, I’ve confirmed the latest IE, Mozilla (and derivatives), Safari 1.0, and Opera all work. Still waiting to hear on a few other browers. Next on the list is to get the entire site XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. I’m pretty close on some of my pages, but others where I’ve copied content from weren’t even close. I’d like to blame that squarely on Microsoft Frontpage. It’s good for beginners, but some of the stuff it does is just horrible.
I had a little conversation with a semi-drunk friend of mine last night. He claims me learning CSS now is basically useless. He said PHP and ASP are the way to go and that no “large” site uses CSS anymore and that maybe 5% of those so called large sites use CSS layouts. I highly disagree. Yes, many sites are using PHP and ASP, but they use it in conjunction with CSS. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing when he said that. He could’ve just been acting dumb because he was drunk. Anyway, the bastard is going to be in town this weekend, so maybe I’ll have to talk some sense into him.
My dad has been bugging me to find Johnny English for him lately, so last night I showed him how to get it himself. He wanted to see it, but not enough where he’d go pay those outrageous movie theatre prices. Anyway, we had never been able to get VCD’s working on our DVD player. It’s a Sony DVP-NS300. Well after a bit of searching, I found this cool site called vcdhelp.com. It said that most CD-R’s will not work on that DVD player, but CD-RW’s do. I burned one quick and sure enough it played.
