IE5/Mac CSS fixed (?)
Okay, Mac users, how does it look now? If I’ve done this right, all random blog layouts should display properly in IE5/Mac, including Brownpau of the Apes. Thanks also to Daniel for the tip on Index 15′s stretched title graphic; I’d been using the wrong IMG width for almost a year! Lots of new links [...]
Lilo and Stitch and Pocahontas
Is it just me, or does Nani from Lilo and Stitch look a lot like Disney’s Pocahontas?
Given to me the day I was born
I’m a bit amused at how those NARAL Pro-Choice TV commercials are very careful to say, “It’s my body, given to me the day I was born.” Yup. Before that, it wasn’t really a body or a person, was it? Just an extraneous parasitic organ that could be excised like an appendix. (Answer here.) The [...]
mod_rewrite and homosexual Christians
Just doing some tweaking and cleaning in the background, and am also trying to figure out mod_rewrite and trailing slashes with the help of the ultimate mod_rewrite guide. Via Doug, a letter from a gay Christian, and the response. Personally, I am perfectly willing to embrace gay and lesbian church members as fellow brothers and [...]
Doreen Fernandez
Sad news. Doreen Fernandez, English teacher, head of the Ateneo Communications Department, moderator of The GUIDON, Inquirer gourmet food and restaurants columnist, and mentor to Ateneans everywhere, died of pneumonia early this morning (Tuesday afternoon, Filipino time).

IE5/Mac CSS workarounds
IE5/Mac users, some feedback, please: how do indexes 4, 15, 17, 20, and 27 look? Any misaligned graphics? Is the navigation text still getting spaced wrongly? Thanks.
Apache mod_rewrite tutorial
Nice and easy Apache mod_rewrite tutorial, for regex dummies like me.
Mac/IE5 CSS problems
I’ve gone through each blog layout with a fine-toothed comb on IE5/Mac to figure out where the CSS problems are. Expect Mac-friendly changes next week. A codesharing lab is also in the works, and I think I also need to redesign that portfolio. It’s starting to feel more than a bit campy. In other news, [...]
Sebsational and Krissy
Nice to see Seb blogging again, with profound — and occasionally profane — reflections from the guy who first mused that dirt entering oysters turns into pearls, but when it enters people, it turns into boogers. Now is also your chance to see what Krissy looks like. Aaaww! :)
