Becoming Great

You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.

Goodbye IE7

When I get around to re-doing this personal site, I’ve decided I’m going to drop support for Internet Explorer (IE) 7. A quick look at my analytics shows that IE7 made up only about 3.58% of the visits in the last month, while on my code site, due to the content there being aimed at more technical people, IE7 usage was down at less than half of that, at 1.75%.

Why drop IE7, and what can I now use?

Fresh Smelling

fresh-smelling

After helping Kev Deighton with some simple JavaScript, back in August 2003, he sent the following reply:

Holy Bum Smarties! That’s exactly what I was looking for. One of these days dude I’ll repay you, in mints mostly, and possibly also in lemons. You’ll have so many mints and lemons you will no doubt be offered gainful employment in a public lavatory at a busy train station, using the potent force of your own shit to keep the bowls fresh and zesty. Glade will double and doubtless redouble (at a later date, obviously, when the earlier doubling has proven thoroughly insufficient) their efforts to plug you in.

The tang of your own delightful turds will garnish diet cokes in trendy cafes and bars on the continent, and any remainder that you can pump out will be chewed upon nervously by both eager parties prior to adolescent courtship activities.

Your poop will make the world a better place, for everybody.

Nice to feel appreciated :-)
