Internet Explorer 9

I am posting this from Internet Explorer 9 on windows 7. There were a bunch of changes I had to make for surebert toolkit to work with IE9. The most interesting was that IE9 now supports document.addEventListener but it does not support e.__defineGetter__ which meant I had to make some changes. I bet a lot of scripts that used if(document.addEventListener) as way of detemining which event engine to use are going to be messed up. I mean there is always compatability mode, but I want stuff to work natively.

The best part about IE9 was the inclusion of what appears to be a fully functionaly javascript developer tool that is like firebug for firefox. Finally a true JS log and error debugger without the need to start an additional program like visual studio or microsoft script debugger. Between that and all the HTML 5 support they might have a fighting chance to gain developer interest. I guess we will see.

What would be really crazy is if they released IE9 on multiple platforms. Its one thing all the other browsers, especially chrome and firefox have going for them.

Windows 7

I had to install windows 7 to do some testing for my surebert toolkit and for work. It was all good at first. Then after the first windows update I got the same windows recovery mode screen I got the first day I got the laptop which had window 7 preinstalled.

THen this took like 20 minutes.

I also found it funny that a password was only recommended while a password hint was required?

Basra the Sulcata tortoise chases hamster

I know sulcata tortoises aren't supposed to eat any meat but after basra, our pet sulcata, ate our pet parakeet (e:paul,49948) , I was a little sceptical. Then the other day (e:matthew) was playing with our hamster in the tortoises room and the tortoise went nuts. At first we thought it was because the hamster smelled like hay/grain which kind of smells like the hay pellets we mix in with the tortoise food.

So after that I decided to take a piece of faux fur and attach it to black thread. It smelled like absolutely nothing so that it would rule out a taste for the grain. He really like to chase it. We did this for about an hour. It makes me think I can take him for a walk this way in the summer.



I am still unsure if he is trying to eat it or being territorial or just curious. Then again I found him with a squirrel paw once and my old sulcata I found eating a crow in the backyard.

Day at the zoo

Well after boycotting it since the mid 90s I decided to give it another chance. A lot of stuff seemed to change for the better. I really liked the new exhibit with mixed animals in a more natural habitat.

The tiger pretty much attacked our window.

I think you can find this same thing on craigslist.

Missing Illustrator

Sometimes I miss illustrator so much. I decided to just play with inkscape more to try and get over but I just miss the gradient mesh tool so bad.

Food on Elmwood

One meal at pano's (shrimp with gnocchi with (e:Mike) ) and one at bistro Europa (pork shank and clams with (e:terry) ).

I also got my mercury test back. No problems there so do I stop restricting my large fish consumption or assume the restriction kept it good? The whole thing makes me want a tuna steak.

I also found this report ::READ PDF:: about mercury levels in great lakes fishermen pretty encouraging.
