As mentioned in the sidebar, we lost a couple of chat entries on switching to the new server. I guess this was due to the time it took the DNS change to propagate. Anyway, the most interesting post I saw was to Dean Edwards’ IE7 page.
This page presents a pretty good looking way of adding to IE’s CSS support by using DHTML behaviours to semi-rewrite CSS sent to IE into a form that IE can understand. It allows a developer to use some nice stuff that was previously only available for, ahem, decent browsers. It’s still in alpha right now. So it should be worth messing with, if not production use as yet.
Right now I’m in a state of wondering as to quite where my interests lie. While I still read about and am interested in web standards, the push towards them and the inventive things that they allow you to do, writing about them is no longer the fire that it once was. I still find Linux and open-source in general interesting, but I’ve been so busy recently I haven’t really had the time to mess with my system and in the process learn some interesting snippet that’s lead me on to other interesting prospects.
Shifting dx13 over to a new server: if you can see this, you’re in =)

Getting more hardcore: I now have a Gentoo desktop system and a Debian Stable mail server =)
The email server runs a combination of fetchmail, exim, procmail and uw-imapd, which does the following:
I set this up because switching between Windows and Linux and having to keep email in sync was becoming rather a chore. I had to use the same email client in both Windows and Linux. Though I used the very capable Mozilla Thunderbird — sharing mail files on a common vfat disk — the solution always seemed restrictive. Now I can try out whatever email client I like, and not have to worry about setting up filters and such for each one.
