oh and (thanks to stewie)
I fully support stopping development for IE6, I have read that some companies charge more to develop for IE6. On any project I undertake IE6 always doubles the coding time, it is so full of bugs and you have to put a million hacks in for the site to work properly.
The same site coded the way it should be works in all the other major browsers bar the odd minor bug here and there, but IE6 can completely screw it up. But I guess anyone that works in web development knows this. It is evil.
But saying that you will stop developing for it is a big issue. My other half works for the government and they have to use IE6. At work we have a large global client, who also all have to use IE6, which was a major deal when told that the uber modern AJAXariffic practically WYSIWYG CMS had to work in the primitive browser.
So there is a massive audience out there who have no choice but to use IE6 and to not develop to be compatibly means you alienate a big potential audience.
Ho hum
Boo Microsoft, they should have never of released such a piece of crap in the first place.
Playing with my new zoom lens, it does get in pretty close as you can see, with this shot of a bird (not a twitcher so not sure of the type (Alistair who apprently is a twitcher says it is a Common Tern)) catching a fishie.
Note that it is three images comped together, and then for fun I added a few more of the same bird from different shots.
Went a bit grey for a while. Sunshine now. Alas a bit too windy for a BBQ. So having one on board, which will be a first. Hope we don’t catch fire.
Look. It’s 24 the energy drink.
From the can: When the clock is ticking. Revive and conquer jack bauer style. You can pack a lot of action into 24 hours. Every second counts.
Not tried it yet though. Don’t want to be awake all night.
But I look forward to the moment I do.
Worldwide Places Hit by the Blue Screen Of Death | Walyou
Now I know these are not technically all Blue Screen Of Deaths, but still amusing. There is a fancy plasma info system at Elephant and Castle that looks very expensive, but I have only seen it operating once. The rest of the time it the good old BSoD.
All of my experiences of The Post Office have been, well… shit.
Rather than try to sell those in the queue “the peoples pet insurance” or “the peoples credit card” why not try to do the one thing you are supposed to do and that is deal with the post.
There is always a massive queue and always only 10-20% of the available counters open. Today I was waiting outside the Post Office as the queue was so long. And was just made angry at the constant looping ads and posters trying to sell me Post Office services. The idea of using the Post Office to withdraw money is laughable, does anyone really want to queue for that long to get some cash?
If there was an alternative I would use it, alas there isn’t. Perhaps if they sold real commercial advertising space in their queues, they could hire more staff and then we wouldn’t have irate old ladies slamming on the windows (as happened today). Or perhaps companies can buy a square of advertising space next to stamps. No more imposing than the piles of junk mail we get every week.
Also I really don’t like the term “The peoples Post Office”. What is that supposed to mean anyway? Are they just mooching off Diana? A Post Office for the common man? Did I miss the launch of the Post Office for the rich and affluent man? No, so just call it the Post Office.
My issues are with the Post Office, altogether I am quite pleased with the delivery service (though the random times of day you get a delivery in London is a tad annoying). But typically for a thirty odd pence you can send something to the other side of the UK and it will normally get there the next day.
Rant over – and relax…
If you don’t want to be over-geeked, try to ignore the narration, better still scrub through with the sound off.
It still seems pretty techie and a long way off being a consumer or even a professional product, but i like the idea of feeding the software a some video and some super hires stills I took of the same object/place and combining the two.
