I installed Internet Explorer 8 a few days ago and I guess I was expecting to be wowed (I have no idea why), but I was underwhelmed by the lack of innovation. The only point that I am happy with now is that everything I develop in Firefox looks just as good in Internet Explorer, without having to hack it to pieces.

Unfortunately for every web developer in the free world Internet Explorer 6 will not be dying anytime soon (in my organization anyway), so the backwards ways of IE6 will continue to prevail.

My resume and the start of my portfolio is finally online. These were the main reasons for me starting this website. I guess the main hold up was the massive amount of CSS I need to do, which is time consuming. Those pages were only tested on FF3 and IE8, so please forgive any design glitches.

Just a quick note that in all the brilliance of the Apache mod writers, the RedirectMatch directive does not support question marks (?), that's right, question marks in the redirect URL.

After almost an hour of wasted time this is the only conclusion I could come to. Apparently there is a mod_rewrite work around, but it was too shallow for me to even bother looking at. Apache URL encodes all output by default and the mod_alias authors some how overlooked dynamic URL strings.
