I’m priding myself on how all the websites I build now conform to W3 standards. It’s part pride, part irritation that there are no less than eight browser/OS configurations out there that I need to address: IE 6 and 7, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 and Opera on Windows, and Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 as well as Safari on Mac OS X. 

If I program to widely accepted standards, then I cut my QC testing down to a small fraction of the time it used to take. Unfortunately, I’m not quite there with this new site. Click on the XHTML button at the bottom of the page to see what I mean.  There are two key lines of code that are causing problems, and they’re both coming from the auto-generated code produced by WordPress. What I compose in the end will probably be a workaround rather than a proper solution.

I remember discussing with Hwan (and maybe Reg) about creating a custom markup language regarding real-world actions following a journal entry written about a programming typo, “onlick()“. It didn’t really go anywhere, but I guess that’s the fun thing about Thought Experiments. You don’t really have to think practical enough to do it. In fact, the more ambitious and elaborate you get, the more likely it will be impossible for you to have to prove. 

Maybe that’s why Quantum Physics is so popular.
