Kinda gimmicky, but it works

So, I’m usually not one for all kinds of fancy crap, but I needed a new razor the other day, and decided to see what this “power razor” stuff is about. I picked up the Gilette Fusion Power, and was pleasantly surprised. It makes the blades a hot knife, and your chin hairs turn to butter.

Two thumbs up. :)

So… XKCD has made a pretty big GoogleBomb with it’s latest comic. Going from 2 to over 21,000 hits on Google in the space of a day or two is pretty damned impressive.

I figured I’d add one more to the list… ;)

Computer stability testing tools

I’ve been overclocking my desktop a while back and found myself using a few tools to do the job.

At first I thought that I might not have installed it properly, but the problem was worse than I initially imagined…

IE + CSS = spaz

I’ve gotta say, working with IE6 and IE7 makes webcoding such a pain in the ass. I took my theme and started editing it in Opera, and got everything looking all nice and pretty. When I load up the site in Firefox, it looks pretty much the same as the Opera rendering. I fire up IE7… and bam! The bottom of the page is messed up. The footer isn’t touching the bottom of the container (there’s a gap between it and the border), and there should be a 10px gap between the border and the bottom of the page.

*grumble*
