Homework from my “Human-Centered Interactive Design” class at SCAD’s e-Learning program is killing me. I wonder how I ever survived being a full time student at SCAD before. I like the class and all, but the amount of work has been overwhelming on top of my classes from UC.
The main motivation behind this post is to complain about Microsoft (again). The latest project is to implement an interface I designed into a working flow of wireframes. That’s the easy part. But inevitably, it was so easy to take that extra step to style the template just a little nicer since I am using CSS for everything anyway. And boy, what a bitch Microsoft Internet Explorer is to style for. Elements/styles that work for other browsers just don’t work on stupid IE. I guess this is not news for anyone who’s worked with CSS for longer than a few hours. But it’s annoying as hell.
Since I was checking my homework via Windows IE, I also checked out my blog to see how everything looks since I did quite a few improvements. Sure enough, the announcement tag line for Bryan’s new pictures below the header was somehow under a white block. A trip to the stylesheet fixed that. But again, it’s annoying. I wish Microsoft can stop being so damn cocky and start conforming to the web standards already. Jackasses.
