Drama in Cyberspace
Category: estrip
I went to go see that stupid Pan's Labyrinth movie last night. I was so disgusted by it I decided to go to bed afterwards to not allow my mind to associate any of the feelings I was having with anyone or any stuff I was doing;

At some point the server went down and nobody woke me up to check on it. It should be all set now.

Fixed The Operation aborted Error in IE
Category: estrip
I fixed the operation aborted error in IE. After a most stressful day of documenting thousands of lines of javascript, I found some spare time and an IE 6 and 7 machine to test the site on and fix the stupid Operation Aborted error that occurs when something is appended to the DOM before it is loaded.

IF YOU USE IE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS MAYBE YOU SHOULD DONATE NOW. I WAS ABOUT 1 SEC SHORT OF JUST REMOVING IE SUPPORT ALTOGETHER. YOU CAN DO THIS BY CLICKING ON THE DONATE LINK AT THE TOP OF THE LATEST ENTRIES LIST.

I do think at some point in the near future the IE 6 support will go (meaning you will be redirected to the strip down mobile/dialup version of the site when visiting with IE 6) unless some people are interested in supporting it, because for me it is a headache and I am really not motivated to always have to get an old machine to test it on.

On an other front I updated the scripts so the site should be a bunch faster. I also have some new faster surebert updates coming out later this week.

I removed transparent PNG support for IE 6 because it was slowing the site down in IE 6 too much. If you hate that get a real browser that can do transparent pngs like opera, firefox, safari, or ie 7

Tonight Windows Updated Me To IE7
Windows automatically updated my windows XP development box to Internet Explorer 7 tonight. This mean sthat the era for IE 6 development is over. I will try and keep support for what is there. But dedicated testing and support for Internet Explorer 6 on estrip is over. I will test everything with 7 this weekend.

Bunch of backend SQL updates should make some stuff faster. . . more to come.

Fixed the IE 7 bug thanks for the heads up. In case anyone else ever has this "OPartion Aborted: problem, it invloves appending a DOM node the the body element before the body has loaded or if the body contains any unclosed tag.

I cannot believe they can't have it die more gracefully.

My IE7 started getting the operation aborted error again a few days ago just fyi. I switch back and forth with firefox anyway so not a big deal for me but thought you would like to know.
