Boycott IE 7
Article
"It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators."
I've also just been reading about how the UK music sharers are being sued for sharing music and its really depressing me. Can't copy this, can't copy that, and if you tell anyone about how to copy anything, TV/Movies, then you'll be punished. Personally, I listen to stuff I download, and if I like it, I'll buy the CD, but most of my purchases seem to be from more obscure labels, but like Dean says, go and see live bands aka big chill. Tones saw Horace X at EcoFest and went out and bought their CD. I'm getting really sick of hearing the same shit on the radio day after day after day.

The only radio I listen to nowadays is online streaming of the radio 1 Punk show, and the odd bit of 6Music. Still don't download music, don't need to, I know where to buy the music I like and I have tonnes of supplies. However I do use the local Libraies to trawl for CD's, does that count I wonder...
PS. on the Gig front - Me First & the Gimme Gimmes playing Notts Rock City 17th September...
ie7, seen alot of people moaning about it. It's not passing alot of tests, all the css stuff is messed up.
Thing is, it IS only beta, and first version of that too.
I don't have a worry about it yet, see how it shapes up.
'sides, Firefox still works.
Trouble with IE is just how many people use the blasted thing. The site I'm running, looking at the stats, 99% of people using it are IE users. The remaining 1% is either me testing something in IE, or bots searching.
Wasn't till I started trying to line things up, use a PNG with transparencies, get consisent frame sizes that I realised in what a state IE actaully is. To be fair, I've not used it in anger for many years. Used Mozilla for a fair time until FireFox got the features right I'd got used to in Mozilla. (the kid who wrote the bulk of Firefox lives a few doors away from me funnily enough).
About time they bring the majority of web users up to speed with basic stuff.
