How do I hate IE's CSS implementation \ Let me count the ways.

Ok. So life happens once again and I find yet another little quirk about IE. Seems my little day count down timer doesn't fit the whole width of the left table in IE. I've hacked it to get it close, but that's all. I've decided not to fight with it because, although it's annoying and unsightly, the CSS is right. So I say screw IE, it's close enough.

In other news, I have been abandoned once again on the forums. It's been a full week since anyone posted on my campaign. Pretty quick here I might just wipe it out and stop worrying about it. I mean, I'm going to loose my third character here in just one more week, and at this rate I will have no more chars in just about 2 months. It's sad really. And It's not like I haven't tried to keep up with the posts. Since I dropped the Saturday update, the longest I've been late on my 11:59.99 PM deadline is 12 hours, unlike my chars, who regularly go weeks on end without posting. It's quite sad really.

Is it worth the effort?

And finally... I've been working with Audigy on the Socially Stigmatic forums on a blinker circuit. A design after my heart, Audigy's been trying to make a thermally controlled blinker that will drive 36 Blue LEDs in an alternating pattern. So I've been happily applying my classes in electronics to aid him in the design of the circuit. It's been terribly fun. Pretty quick here I'll be producing the final schematic, and it's going to be interesting to see if the final design actually works (Not that it shouldn't but there's always the tiny problem of mathematical error...)

Thinking of which... I really need to get PSpice, or something so I can simulate the design before I tell Audigy to melt $70 worth of LEDs.

1.8 Watts... I mean it...

Mood: Happy and bubbly.
