Some things in short order.

  • I'm in Bristol for the weekend for lectures. This isn't really that important save that the lecture halls have wireless broadband and it's very fast. Ridiculously fast. Uploaded 45 megabits in around 3 minutes.
  • Bristol Me and Giles went to see Clifton Suspension Bridge yesterday, it's quiet shiny. There were a bunch of climbers going up the side of the gorge which was quite impressive. What I was particularly impressed by is the sign on these flats that uses the word 'opulent' to advertise them. I'm liking the way in which in this day an age opulence can be seen as a good thing.
  • Currently this website fails on Internet Explorer. I haven't a clue why this is and I've never seen it before, but the site refuses to turn up even slightly in Internet Explorer. It looks like I've not closed the head tag or somehow Internet Explorer sees everything as display:none, but I haven't a clue why. I've saved an html file with the header cut down slightly and it works within reason in ie 5.0 mac (well, it displays which is something). If anyone can work out what it is, I'd be very grateful. Something in the javascript was screwing Internet Explorer up badly. I've disabled it temporarily and I'll sort it out when I have more free time. Found the issue, Internet Explorer doesn't understand that when you say "<script src... />" you mean "<script src... > </script>". Stupid thing.
  • Also, if someone could screenshot the bug in Firefox for Windows and e-mail it to me that'd be swell. I've seen the bug in Firefox, but haven't a clue why it exists. If I link to any page via a # it'll jump to that section and not display anything above it. Any clues would be great.

http://www.protectthehuman.com/teleshop/guns/files/Teleshop_large.wmv is another fantastic amnesty international advert (although it's best when you don't know it is 'til the end)

they brought out a spoof gun catalogue too, which is cleverly done; I scanned it in here: http://phil.fpic.co.uk/c958028.html

It's not just the Windows one; I'm on Linux. And it does the same thing on other Gecko browsers.

I like the thought of Clifton Suspension Bridge being quietly shiny. But I want to know how it compares to the Golden Gate.

If you are stuck as to how to take notes on the blank page then look at the top right of the sheet - someone else seems to have coped just fine...
