Those who can read and read the title may think it's about McDonald's or their crappy food. Those who read on and check the tags see it's about MacDesperate. Convinced by Rosie, Wouter and Alex I joined their MacDesperate group. Together we'll be launching the site in the not too distant future. Its contents? Probably some Mac/Apple news, as well as us begging for donations to buy a Mac. Hey, we're desperate!

If you read even more tags and the title you'll now already know I also have a Twitter account. If you tweet me I might tweet back. If you don't... well... it's gonna be hard to tweet back then.

It's been a while, but I'm back again... for some more complaining. Remember my struggles to get a web design to look properly in IE? Well, I'm at it again. I'm working on a new project - not saying which - of which the HTML uses a lot of floated elements (divs). I've done the HTML and CSS, and it all works well. No problems anywhere - I might need to make a few tweaks here and there still, but other than that it's all right. In Firefox, Konqueror and Opera. Safari probably too, since it uses almost the same rendering engine (a "program" that reads the HTML, and makes it look right on your screen). Guess what? IE6 is struggling to get it right.

IE6 is in standards mode, which I admit is by far not as bad as the quirks mode... but it does a few odd things. First of all, the CSS property 'height' acts as the 'min-height', so that's one hack. But worse than that, IE decided to duplicate part of the menu. For whatever reason. It's just there, twice. Even though it's in the HTML only once.

Due to lack of time I didn't get round to checking what the hell the problem was last week, but I now did a quick search, and found the problem: Duplicate characters. "Microsoft Get the Facts" my ass, first get some proper software. Time to get this baby fixed up.
