The Greatest Gift
I have decided it’s alcohol. It’s fun to give, it’s fun to receive, it’s fun to share. A good deal all around, really.
So last week I spent about 10 hours a day Sun-Tues working on a new web design. It finally works, with adjustable font and window sizes, dynamic rollovers, all the cool stuff, in practically every browser made since 1998. (Which is important, cuz even if only .5% of people have never upgraded from Win IE 5.0, when you’re talking about a major website they’ll add up to hundreds or thousands of people a year. And people are very turned off by broken websites.) I kind of want to rant about how hard it is to work around Internet Explorer bugs, but it’s already been done.
Anyway, getting it done was pretty gratifying, but then back in the office this guy I work with comes up and says “I can’t believe you got that design done!” and hands me a big’ol half gallon jug of Rogue Ale. That just made my day.
