Very True Mood:  bored

The browser with the rather unwieldy name of Internet Explorer 7: Beta 2 Preview - released on March 20th is, as the name hints, here and the usual suspects are talking about it.

This release is feature locked as far as site rendering is concerned. So time to start checking your CSS, etc. I’m happy to see that the problems with the book covers in the side bar are fixed, and as conditional comments are also working now I can hide the covers from older IE versions and show them to IE7. (But remember, if you have multiple copies of IE installed they will all use the version number of the ‘main’ copy. So check your conditional comments are working on separate test machines or use browser cam.)

One bug that’s still outstanding is that links with display:block in some case only respond to mouse hovers and clicks on the text and in other cases respond to hovers and clicks anywhere in the block. I think the deciding factor is float related but I need to create some test cases to check. Unless anyone can point me towards someone who’s already done the work?

Very True Mood:  optimistic

I think that some people (thinking about frisbyrat for example) may be interested in these new Roman Seas models. Lovely work. Alas, even at 1/300 scale I don’t have room to recreate Misenum in miniature.

Very True Mood:  impressed

Oh yes, we (meaning the weavers’ team, “Looming Lovelies”, plus ringers such as myself) won. Our ringers were better than their ringers?

Five rounds of ten questions each. TV and Film: 9/10. Fashion and Textiles: 6/10. Music: 9/10. True or False: 6/10. Picture round on famous dogs: 7/10.

(Oh, and yes the numbers on a roulette wheel do add up to 666, and yes the easy way to work that out if you don’t know it as trivia is that it’s 37×18. And if anyone who reads this needs that explaining I will, but really I shouldn’t need to.)

Then there was getting home which involved cajoling a drunk weasel onto a bus and into a kebab shop for surprisingly good chips (but was she too drunk to remember that kebab shop two doors down from us also had pubpbyngr rpynvef on its menu? Could be dangerous…). Drinking is now banned in the Weaseldome for the immediate future - this applies to me as well for reasons of solidarity and beer gut reduction.

It’s Friday. Thank the mythological deity figure.
