A joke:
Q: What did one .em say to the other .em? A: Who’s your Daddy?
I feel stupid for two reasons: (1) that this was the first time I heard/got the joke, and (2) that I actually laughed.
from here in case you care. (*hugs Arya*)
In Other News: I’m frustrated, because it’s harder than I expected to remember how the fuck drupal works and what exactly I was doing before my vacation so that I can finish my job in under 20 work hours.

Sweet. Give me a call if you’d like to take part in my Corvallis bar tour. I reckon I’ve got some more exploring to do.

Saturday night. Alcohol-bathed festivities commencing at my house, to celebrate a week of school having passed (I had to come up with a convincing reason; I can’t rightly call it a breaking-in-the-new-house party after an entire summer has passed.) Your attendance = required.

What gets me most about the new XHTML/CSS school of design is that for the longest time they’re harping about nested tables and how confusing they are, and how it’s bad to have all of this meaningless code in the source.
But hmm… How do most XHTML/CSS gurus pull off mind-blowing, never-before-thought-of website designs? By nesting tons of DIVs and SPANs in their source so that they can manipulate it with CSS!
So, granted it’s much cleaner to have a couple of nested DIVs than a couple of nested TABLEs… But can you guarantee that your XHTML layout will look the same in all legacy browsers? I doubt it very much, not without spending tons of time testing or doing Javascript and CSS hacks to make it display gracefully.
And honestly, HACKS? IE specific hacks? Give me a break! Does this stuff even vaildate as proper CSS?! I don’t see how tables are less evil than HACKING standardized CSS to make it display properly. Isn’t that what we were doing with table based layouts? Hacking tables to do what they were never intended to do?
What happens when IE finally gets their CSS to conform to the standards. Is that going to break thousands of websites because they had shady CSS hacks?
I’m not saying that what we used to use tables for was right, or even that it should contine. But I want those uppity “gurus” to stop and think about what they’re preaching. Is pure XHTML better just because it uses less code than old school table based layouts? I’m not so sure, especially nowdays in the world of broadband. Saving 5k on a XHTML document is hardly going to make-or-break a users download time…
