Slashdot converts to HTML 4.01 and CSS! - The CSS Weblog - css.weblogsinc.com

Hey, I just read this bulletin this morning and it is great news. Now, the foot-draggers can join the rest of the world and make neater-looking, cleaner, better-organized, and more accessible web pages.

If Slashdot could convert all of their content, then anyone can. Here is what The CSS Weblog said.

It’s been a long time coming, but Slashdot has finally gotten rid of their tables and converted to HTML 4.01 with a full complement of CSS. If they were able to switch their 900k users, 60k stories, and 13 million comments over, then I don’t see how anyone can back away from their very own standards compliant projects. For the designers out there, you may want to take note as they will be looking for a new look soon! Their dated look is really nothing to oggle at, let’s hope they get that redesign contest running quickly!

Funny Accident Tonight

I was at the bathroom sink, spraying some "Simply Saline" saline solution in my nose from its little canister to try to clear up my sinuses, when my cat bounded up to see me.

She lept from the floor to the lid of the toilet, pivoted, and stood on it with her rear legs, and "stood" leaning over the left siide of the sink with her front legs fully extended and supporting her wait.

Oh, and one other thing. She managed to knock to plastic bottles off the edge of the sink.

That got my attention, and as I turned to look, saline spray jetted across my glasses.

I felt like I was in one of those old fashioned early 1900s slapstick comedies.

Next time I will close the door.
