Got into the CSS groove, fiddled around with it, and voilà; a new design. If you're using e.g. Opera, you can change back to the old design by clicking View → Style → "The classic stylesheet". In Mozilla, it's View → Use Style → "The classic stylesheet". However, this does not work in MSIE. How frustrating.
August 2003
I noticed that MSIE didn't interpret the CSS declaration font-size: small; which I used for making my navigation bar small. Instead of going the HTML way and implementing <small> for each and every cell in the table, I used 80% instead of small in CSS. This is one of the millions of other reasons why we should use anything but MSIE. Preferably Opera.
In other news, Even André has (yet again) remade his web site. This time around he's dropped the table layout in favor of CSS and <div>s, and his page validates as XHTML 1.1. Even, I'm very proud of you. :-)
.htaccess is working! Try requesting this non-existing page.
You may have noticed that the site has been down. This is because Dataportalen.com has changed from Interland to Servetheworld.
I now run 1280x1024 and have updated the Computer page with a new desktop picture.
I have linked to the Quotes page in the navbar.
Playing through StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War. It's as excellent as always.
I now use SSI to turn off "self-links" in the navigation bar. Contrary to using CSS, SSI makes it look good in text-only browsers as well as visual ones.
People who claim that the Internet is either completely shitty or the savior of humanity are completely wrong. Yes, the Internet is full of poorly designed web sites, ugly proprietary scripts, non-standard-compliant web pages and WYSIWYGed HTML documents. But the Internet is also a wonderful tool; it's an all-accessible library full of useful information. The trick is to avoid or ignore all the shitty sites.
Working on a quotes page. I'll link to it as soon as I have about 30-40 of them.
