main bit This page looks very fancy in a modern browser, with "stylesheets" and "layout" and thing, but frankly I prefer the way you're seeing it here. Congratulations for not crumbling to the Browser Upgrade Initiative! Support the Web Designer Downgrade Conclusion!

dumb internet explorer tricks

It's Magic Eye pictures for IE. Like a good Penn and Teller, Andrew Baio shows you how it's done. (via the pile)

fonts of all wisdom

So, a couple of things. First, thanks to a pressing deadline and my amazing procrastination powers, I now understand FontConfig. Did you know that if you really want to have the 7x14 Misc-Fixed bitmapped font for your gnome-terminal, you should specify "Fixed 10.5" in the profile setting? Well, now you do.

Secondly, Robin's posted a great update on the Kate Adie story below, clarifying matters a little (basically, Adie won't swear to having had those words spoken to her by the US military). It's amazing how many ongoing discussions online I now hear end with "well, why doesn't one of you just email [controversial person] and find out what they think?". And you do, and they say, and it's done.

Thirdly, Robin published his update before I published my last entry, thanks to something getting stuck between my dev server and my live server, so it looked like I was ignoring it. I shall try and fix that. Sorry.

Fourthly, I appear to think "a couple" means four.
