Steven Marshall vs. Internet Explorer, abridged

This evening, Stevie artistic placeholder Marshall has been mostly trying to fix his new blog design to work in Microsoft’s broken web browser.

Because I’m a bit bored of working on the TextPattern edition of Resin, I felt I’d preserve for posterity one of his more poetic outbursts. Although this one is clean, my IM log suggests that when his blog launches, he might just rival Oxton for foul language. Although, I doubt if he knows what he’s going to write about yet, far from it for me to guess.

When is 100% width of the parent not 100% width of the parent?

It’s fair to say that I’m really glad that my CSS:Reboot is so far behind schedule that IE debugging is not yet a source of frustration for me. Ah.

    Money says that Mr Budd won’t remember the conversation, since it occupied all of 30 seconds of both our lives.

    As for your more creative outbursts, I did actually have them up for a few hours but trimmed it when they stopped being funny. As amusing as it was at the time your appending ing to a variety of common-or-garden expletives, longetitivity didn’t seem to suit it them it well.

    Of course when I say money, I actually mean beer. Or something else that you don’t actually want.

    I’m actually shocked you did blog about this; even moreso that you omitted the more shall we say potent comments I made about IE’s familial lineage and it’s nature as a piece of the female anatomy.

    As for what I plan on blogging about, I plan on blogging about webby stuff (surprisingly), frustrations thereof, life at large (although certainly nothing massively introspective and personal – a mistake I’ve made in the past), music, movies, and whatever comes to mind, really. To be honest, the inspiration for me getting off my arse has been your blog, Ben, and the exposure it’s given you to the wider community. In other words, you stole my @media thunder, so I intend stealing your blogging thunder!

    (And I’ll ask Mr. Budd on Monday if he still has no objections to your theft of his design)

    Excellent, another big IE fan. “Join the club”, I would say. :)

    I’m actually feeling lucky (no, I’ve not been recruited by Google…) since I don’t even bother to get my design to work in IE in the first place. But then again, I’m a gangster so I can get away with it. ;)
