First of all, I’m not one who hates Microsoft — in fact, I rather like them most of the time. Why is it so simple for every other browser out there to just WORK when it comes to JavaScript and CSS, yet IE (even the famed v7) can’t even render simple things properly? I’m VERY annoyed. I’m starting to think that part of their backend is nondeterministic as I had this simple thing rendering and a refresh (with NO code changes) resulted in the same issue again. I’m going to lose it — this is simple, WHY DOESN’T IT WORK? MS should just drop IE all together and start over from scratch, keeping standards in mind.

So I started work at Hakano today and it was pretty laid back. Exactly what I expected from Jeff and Nolan — a nice work environment without a lot of pressure (not that Appforge had any pressure either). The only thing is I’ll really need to buy a laptop (about 2 grand unless I get one of those handy 25% off Dell notebook coupons) to make things work well as I don’t feel comfortable putting my personal stuff on someone else’s machine. The other thing is I’m not quite ready to make the “switch” to the white devil of computing yet. We’ll see how it goes.
I think I’ll actually get my hands on some code tomorrow, which is cool. I’ve been itching to do something useful for a few days now, since the big “belly-up. “

so my day starts out with the commute from hell to go to a dentist appointment, continues with my employer going belly up and laying everyone off, and ends on a more positive note. i’ll share that later, when i know it’s alright to — i have a lot to think about.
