It struck me the other day while testing out Internet Explorer 7 that I have not heard anyone ask never mind had an answer to the question of why IE7 does not implement a similar Find on Page solution to Firefox. IE7 persists in popping up the blasted dialog window for finding text on the current page. I realise some users might struggle with the Firefox way at first but we can’t be stuck on a few users holding back everyone else forever.
My sister will be getting married on the 28th of October 2006.
It is the same date as my mother’s birthday which is 4 days after mine and 6 days after my dads. October is going to be a hectic month.
Last night saw the Murphys Live 2006 final go down at Cyprus Avenue in Cork. Ashley Sheehan & the Mute battling it out with Lotus Lullaby for the grand prize while The Walls headlined the gig. Good music, good craic and even though the better band, in my opinion, didn’t win it was a good night. Congratulations to Lotus Lullaby. I think the choice is right as Lotus Lullaby are more commercial and their front-man engages the audience better but I still far prefer Ashley Sheehan’s music.
Seeing Cork was interesting. The landscape changed somewhat as we travelled from Waterford and I never realised how much bigger Cork city is from Waterford city. It reminded me of a mini-Dublin with a canaled-river running through the city center and bridges spanning it. There is a lack of chippers in Cork though. We had to wander up some side streets to find a dodgy Indian chipper that was open at 1am. Good thing most of our party were late in getting back to the bus. It is also impossible to bribe the gas station guy to sell you wine after 10am. We offered him one of the bottles (it was a 3 bottles for €20 deal), we offered him money, we offered him Eimear. He refused them all.
We toured up from Waterford in a bus which meant getting home at three in the morning for an eight ‘o clock wake-up to get to work today. I have many photos to get through but first I need some sleep.
So nice one Murphys, the two gigs I have been to were grand.
I really could do with a cup of coffee right now. Not for the caffeine but just for the gut warming sensation and the feel of a hot mug in my hands.
If you get an error of window.attachEvent is not a function when using Microsoft Atlas then you need to include the AtlasCompat.js file too. Such are the joys of trying to do Atlas without all the ASP.NET wizardry. So far prototype is a lot better in getting started with.
You have got to love the world wide web. Carine asked me what a panini was. The first thing I could think of was to go to Flickr and try the panini tag. It worked. Now imagine trying to explain what a panini is to a friend on the other side of the world without a photograph of one.
NewsVine is an informative news site mixing up “official” and user generated content in a social framework. It really does deliver interesting and relevant content. I subscribe to it via a feed and here is where it all falls down. The feed pumps out 200 new items a day. There is no way I am going to read through 200 news items every single day. I’d prefer what most news sites do, restricting it to the top 20 items of the day.
Till then I won’t be using NewsVine, that is how much my feed aggregator defines what I view on the web these days.
Have you ever thought of revealing all, kicking the skeletons out of the closet and parading them down Main Street so that one day when you become famous nobody will be able to dig anything up on you that you hadn’t already honestly revealed?
And I get lonely, but I ain’t that lonely yet
Yeah I get lonely, but I ain’t that lonely yet
from the White Stripes. Good track.
And what happens if I click Cancel? Is that different from No?
Really chaps, think your dialog messages and button choices through.
