Homepage makeover
I just put my new homepage online. I did a complete refurbishment of it.
I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time, and already did some experiments to try to get the correct layout. Using tables it’s not so hard – just a lot of HTML code. But since tables should not be used to layout document content, and “authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables”, according to the W3C, I wanted to redo the layout using DIVs. That took me some time to work out, but I finally got it, just the way I want to. In a real browser, that is. It’s amazing to see how Microsoft Internet Explorer can f*ck up the layout. This is what my homepage looks like in IE, and this is what it should look like. Well, maybe I’ll sort it out some time. If you have a great idea, please let me know.
Netiquette
People that use MS Word to write their emails should be shot!
Once in a while I get messages like that, for instance as part of a mailing list.
Such an email message is normally a “multi-part message in MIME format”. The first part is the normal plain text version of the email, and the second part is the HTML / XML version. (Sorry, I don’t mean “HTML”, of course, I mean “MS’s definition of HTML”!)
