Pesky XHTML

Posted by David at 1:53pm. Viewed 0 times.

Well, I’m now running on Firefox 2… and very good it is too (even if it asking me to check the spelling of the word “Firefox” in this blog).

Meantime, after the recent publicity, I thought I’d give the Copy+ website a bit of a technical refresh by upgrading it to XHTML. Shame it didn’t work. In IE6 and before, the XML tag causes it to go into “quirks mode” which means my CSS doesn’t render correctly. Yes, I could have sorted that out with time and effort but as XHTML doesn’t actually give me any advantage, it’s really not worth it. So I’ve rolled the changes back and the site is back to how it was. With an added Web 2.0-styley-supermarket-sticker on it (as demonstrated on the left). Just don’t get me started on Web 2.0….

Viva Mexico Stage Manager - 2nd Night

Posted by David at 1:51pm. Viewed 2 times.

Last night - the second show night - went well. Damn well. 100% well in fact. Not a sausage went wrong.

Doubt it will last though - random issues tend to pop up, so getting away with such a perfect back-stage experience is unlikely to ask.

Best of all, there was a ripple of applause from the audience last night, after one our scene changes.
