IE7 styles comments!

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

I’ve seen a lot of IE bugs and even more fixes for them, but what I read this morning on the CSS-d list in a post by Ingo Chao, went beyond my imagination.

Using sibling selectors (“h1+h2″ should style an h2 that comes right after an h1), Ingo proved that IE7beta (not the preview anymore btw) erroneously styles comments. They even react on hover!

Here’s a link to Ingo’s post, with example links included: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/73950.

As we say in Dutch: “Het moet niet gekker worden!”

Rainbow in Missouri

Okay, so it’s just a link I found on Joe Ponkey’s blog, but I still have to share it – such great images!

Especially the 3rd and 5th from the top look like fantasy, but it’s not – look for yourself: www.missouriskies.org/rainbow/february_rainbow_2006.html

Cycling is easy – once you know how…

Monday, April 17th, 2006

Last summer, Gabriël got to ride a two-wheeled bicycle for the first time, and he actually learned it within about 10 minutes. He only got to ride it for 2 days though, as the rest of our holiday was filled with rain, resulting in a really soggy camping field, not fit for riding a bike.

For some time now I had promised him a bike of his own, and last week we finally got one, so yesterday we went out to practice…

After just a little bit of holding him, he got the hang of it again, so here’s the pictures :-)

Finding the right position to start…

It works!

Ehm.... ;-)

Guess who got the blame for this one?

After that first round, he also learned how to brake, as well as to avoid making sharp bends in sandy spots :-)
