While A. committed herself to more work this evening, so did I… I decided to follow up on this morning’s post and put forth a good faith effort at solving as many of the IE-specific issues in my CSS as I could re: Ortho… The good news? It’s legible and more/less looking good (at least […]
After last weekend’s (perceived?) success getting Ortho up and running here, I was feeling pretty good. Got it loaded into Subversion and was off and running. Until I got my first look at it in IE6 today. Yuck. Even after switching to a strict doctype it is almost totally and completely illegible. Working on that. […]
We deployed our “Pemulis” version of K2 here on found_drama back in October; it has served us well but truth be told it carries a bit more bloat that we need.

If you haven’t checked out Firebug for Firefox yet… DO IT NOW. That is to say: if you do any kind of webdev in Firefox, you should have this bad boy in your arsenal. Though I’m usually more of a Camino man myself, this little extension has put me into a Firefox renaissance these past […]
