Finally! Microsoft is moving towards a more web standards compliant browser. The first beta release of Internet Explorer 7 is expected to be released sometime this summer.
Here’s the latest news from the IE Weblog:
- Support the alpha channel in PNG images. We’ve actually had this on our radar for a long time, and have had it supported in the code for a while now. We have certainly heard the clear feedback from the web design community that per-pixel alpha is a really important feature.
- Address CSS consistency problems. Our first and most important goal with our Cascading Style Sheet support is to remove the major inconsistencies so that web developers have a consistent set of functionality on which they can rely. For example, we have already checked in the fixes to the peekaboo and guillotine bugs documented at positioniseverything.net so use of floated elements become more consistent.
Update: A year and a half later… never happened. Maybe it never will.

Um… for no apparent reason, I suddenly started writing haikus. Read on at your own risk 
echolalia
it means to repeat something
echolalia
why am i writing?
sudden interest in haikus
what’s going on here?
my head is too full
i need to let some words out
to make room for more
it clutters my mind
this thing that is the screaming
i am tired of it
in a flash i am
no longer me, but aspie
confused; there’s no cure
i can’t remember
what i was doing just now
my mind is broken
i don’t want to test
i want to learn karate
without any stress
i know this is gay
but it’s a fun way to say
what gets in the way
thinking in numbers
it’s fun counting syllables
words are what comes out
this story is done
coming out of my fingers
it’s an accident
echolalia
repeat echolalia
echolalia
Wiki: asperger echolalia haiku

Who knew? The things you learn when you suddenly find out you’re autistic! It’s been about a month now, and I’ve been on a wild rollercoaster ride trying to process all that I’ve learned and experienced since then.
