MJ

Whilst channel hopping last night, Georgina came across the documentary about Michael Jackson that was put out after the Bashir one to show what a scroat Bashir was. I really don’t have an opinion on whether Jackson is guilty of the new charges against him at the moment as we haven’t heard any of the evidence. Presumably we’ll hear much much more when it comes to trial.

The documentary was reasonably pro-Jackson, even though they spent a lot of time assuring us that he had no editorial control. The main thing I got from it was that he thinks and behaves very naively and really should employ someone prepared to tell him “that’s not a good idea” (and listen when he is told that!). Another thing that came out is how mad his fans are. Jackson goes out and is immediately mobbed – it must be very trying.

A Real Opposition

Fascinating comment by DR Reid yesterday when trying to persuade Labour backbenchers to vote for the Government’s plan for a two tier health service: “Look at the benches opposite”. So the Government is worried about the Tories again if it’s resorting to scare tactics when talking to it’s own side.

Of course, if I was Tony, I’d be far more worried about my own back benchers than the opposition at the momeent. A 17 majority means a lot labour back benchers voted against the Government on a 3-line whip vote… Not to mention that the policy was rejected at the Labour party conference.

Scan Day

Today is 12-week scan day and it’s late as the scan determined that the baby is 13weeks, 3 days old! Due date is 24th May apparently, but I bet he/she doesn’t keep to that schedule…

Wow!

Woohoo!

The Mozilla bug that I reported has been fixed! Clearly it was the clarity of the original bug submission that helped ensure that the bug wasn’t pushed down the priority list into the no-mans land of “never to be fixed”…

Slow Day

Beginning to dislike Mondays as they take *ages*!

On the plus side, I’ve nailed a couple of bugs which were annoying me and I’ve implemented a new category of products for our primary e-commerce customer :)

Poor Meal

Note to self: don’t use the receipe book that came with the microwave. We’ve now had two meals from it and neither have been good. The wine we had with the meal this evening wasn’t anything to write home about either – almost vinegary :(

Mozilla.org Redesign

The www.mozilla.org redesign has gone live. Very nice it looks too.

Incidentally, I came across the same issue that jwz had a while ago. I wanted to centre the content in a <p> tag and have a border around it that was the width of the content, not the width of the page. If you read the comments in the jwz post, you see that the CSS way is to use “display:table” and all is right with the world. Except that I couldn’t get IE to support “display:table”…

Guess what? I ended up using a <table> just like jwz did :)
