I was listening to a cat’s mews from cuteoverload.com, and my dog Nicky couldn’t understand a sigle… mew :)
Web design timeline
This is a very accurate description of what web design is. After working an entire day and half the night on a site, just when I started uploading it on the server, I did a final check of the design in IE6. I almost fainted. The png transparency fix wasn’t working properly, my divs were all over the place, what can I say, a complete mess.
I got to do a lot of research on the web to find the proper hacks for IE in order for my design to work, and I thought I would post the links here, maybe it will help someone else as well.
First of all, the only fix for my transparent backgrounds was actually a quite simple one (after trying a few) so my thanks go to TwinHelix designs.
Then I found an easy way to make a few changes to my css, making them visible for IE alone, while the other browsers ignoring them. “Any property that you wish only IE to see add an underscore before the first letter. This is ignored by all browsers except IE.” Excellent.
The last step was actually submitting the site design to an online tool that makes screenshots of the site to see how it looks on different browsers in different OS. That helped me spot an Opera/ Safari issue that I fixed. Some of the screeshots were quite strange (one was reporting a virus), but most of them were ok. You can test the site yourself and maybe give me a feedback if it works properly.
Conclusion? I hate IE6. Really.

My grandmother found out from yesterdays newspaper that my mom’s class graduated the Ady Endre high school 35 years ago. Her former class mates placed a little ad remembering those who can’t celebrate this day anymore.
Instead of crying, I though I would look up a few old photos from when my mother was a teenager. She always told me she would only wear the shortest skirts possible (legally permitted of course ;) ). She wasn’t kidding :D

Evaluare
Am luat o decizie importanta. In curand imi schimb locul de munca. Inca nu m-am decis daca voi ramane sau nu in Oradea, dar decizia importanta este ce fel de cariera sa urmez. Desi am terminat o facultate care teoretic mi-ar fi deschis portile catre o cariera in programare, am decis cu multa vreme in urma ca este o meserie mult prea … plictisitoare. Adica cum sa stau eu toata ziua cu nasul in monitor? Si am ales sa fiu designer. Iar acum, bineinteles, stau zi noapte cu nasul in monitor. Ce-i mai rau e ca … imi place :)
Totusi, am ajuns acum sa-mi para rau ca am neglijat ani de zile partea de programare. In loc sa invat php si javascript, am facut afise, invitatii, cataloage. In loc sa-mi iau carti despre java am preferat cele despre marketing, vanzari sau … evolutie spirituala. Si chiar daca portofoliul meu e plin de lucrari frumoase, sunt oare cele potrivite pentru un web designer? Iar know-how’ul despre organizarea de evenimente compenseaza oare superficialitatea cunostintelor mele de mySql?
Un lucru pozitiv totusi: totul se poate invata, sau in cazul meu, recupera. Am nevoie doar de un pic de timp. And a little help from my friends ;)

Dupa o luna de medicamente, vizite pe la diversi veterinari, inca nu stiu ce are draga de ea. Doar ca tremura si plange si e trista. Si asta se vede si in ochisorii ei. :((
