On motivation and IE7
Despite my apathy towards IE7, I was intrigued after recently reading an article on positioniseverything about its planned CSS upgrades. I couldn't help but wonder what it is that the IE developers are trying to do. Their motivation interests me, if not their browser.

Browser-specific CSS @ rules
I've been messing with some new CSS ideas lately with a remodel of this site in mind, and I created a layout that I liked, so I started to code it. It worked great in Safari and Firefox, and I was at a point where I was comfortable with it. So I launched Virtual PC to give the layout the infamous Internet Explorer 6 test.
It didn't render properly. Not that I was terribly surprised, mind you. So I tweaked and adjusted and ended up with something that was reasonably close to how the layout might appear in a modern browser.

Update on the China project
If you read about my little China project that I wrote yesterday morning, I was getting 1,000 hits per day from China, and at the time of that entry I had received 4,718 total hits.

png transparency can degrade gracefully in Internet Explorer
I wouldn't have ever believed it, had I not tried it for myself. NewtEdge just turned this regular Wednesday into a fantastic breakthrough event for me. They're a site about web development, and they cater to standards compliance. But specifically, they've hit upon something that has me drooling.
A png file is great for transparency. It's phenomenal, in fact. It's the only file format on the web that can be translucent, and it's the only one that can have soft edges (no jaggies) and let the background show through. It also is only rendered properly by modern browsers but not IE

Javascript Dock Complete
Since I started working with this project, I've been plugging away with it trying this and that, and didn't originally have a home for it. I had a test page set up to show the latest version of it, and that was about it. Now that it's done (at least done for the time being), I have found a home. In the early stages of forming Fuzzy Coconut, one of the working titles was "Unladen Swallow." I registered unladen-swallow.com at that point, and put up a simple splash page with a list of links on it. It occurred to me that that would be an excellent place to show the new script. Unladenswallow.com is the new home for this script
