Though it’s hard to tell whether this comes as a blessing or a curse, Garth has hurt his back; quite simply meaning that I’ll be filling in for him at work for a day or two. Now if only I could be rid of this “can’t go to bed before six in the AM” problem I’ve developed.
With the exception the disastrous complexity of tables, their convoluted hierarchy of tags and nesting, and the difficulty of tweaking a tables–based layout ‘on a whim’; there are days you look back from your pile of CSS selectors and browser problems and think “at least I knew exactly how to get things done.” Today is one of those days.
