Lots of stuff...

Week started off learning about a CSS/display bug in Netscape 8. The site I was working on was a fixed width and height centered in the viewport with a scrollable div that contains the primary content. I had to add a "overflow: hidden;" to the BODY tag to prevent IE 5.2 Mac from displaying unneeded scrollbars on the site. Doing that caused random rendering issues within the scrolling div. More often than not, anything inside a P tag would cut off about a half inch below where the P starts. Once in a while, the page would render correctly, but I'd say 90% of the time it was wrong. The content was there, it seemed to be hidden behind something though. If I could select something on the page and drag down, whatever was in the P would scroll! Most peculiar. Removing the "overflow: hidden;" fixed the problem. If anyone else has this problem, I hope this was useful :)

Pandora is back up with 100k songs and tons of bandwidth. Also, it's pretty easy to save the music that you listen to. I recommend using Firefox to listen as it appears to save the temp files and IE deletes them after every song. I could be wrong but I wasn't able to locate the old tmp files when listening in Internet Explorer. Haven't tried it on my Mac either but soon... Very soon. I wonder how "legal" this is. It's basically like taping from the radio, right? Let's hope so :)

I've decided to take the job at zGraph. I talked to my new room mate tonight and it sounds like everything is ready to go. I won't have to put anything in storage and I should be able to move in whenever.

My time at Bizatomic was good. I learned a lot about how people act (mostly like complete morons), how a business is supposed to work, I met some really great people that I can't imagine being without (Ronna), and overall, I'd have to say it was a really good experience. However, it is time to move on. There is nowhere else for me to go in this company except into management or part ownership and I don't want any part of that. I'm not learning anything new while I'm there. I'm not getting to do anything new and fun. My job there is done.

ReplayTV isn't going to be making hardware anymore! On the upside, they are going to start selling HTPC software. Hopefully it'll be just as hackable as their RTV software is.

I finally figured out Pingback and added it to the blog. Really great concept. Sure beats trackbacks. I'm still having some problems when I ping a couple sites., though Something about invalid return payload... There shouldn't be any reason I can't get that figured out tonight. Off to work.
