Misery Loves a Monopoly

This site is really starting to bother me.

It’s not the lack of standards—although I am a little embarrassed my two personal sites don’t pass muster in the eyes of the validator (it’s embarassing—I use ids like classes). It’s not the lack of content—although it has been too long since I started, never mind finished a new song. And it’s not the lack of an up to date portfolio although I have been working over the past year—doing what? I don’t know.

What bothers me most is that little icon in the bottom left. That one there. At the top. The Planet E. Explorer. Those links made sense in version 5 of this site when I actually had a portfolio to speak of. One that utilized the Flash plug-in, had Quicktime media and looked best in Internet Explorer.

It’s not that this site doesn’t look great in Internet Explorer anymore (last time I checked it still did) the problem is that I no longer advocate updating to the latest version of IE. Even version 6 on the PC is woefully inadequate when confronted by transparent PNGs (there is a JavaScript work around that exploits IE 5.5+ proprietary filters but that still doesn’t equal native support), fixed CSS positioning, and other issues I don’t care to enumerate. Lazy, lazy Microsoft.

I don’t know where I’m going with this… Oh yeah, redesign. Soon. Standards. Might even become an MT boy. Who knows? Cheers.

…still here? Go download a strain of Mozilla or Safari if you haven’t already. Just try it, you’ll like it.

Update: So I finally did something about it—you’re looking at it.
