I've modified my website to show a special message to viewers who use out-dated versions of Internet Explorer. It is just a simple suggestion that they upgrade to a newer version.

The idea comes from a Norwegian outfit that just seems to have decided that enough is enough, and that it's time to stop supporting these old software platforms that are full of bugs, security problems, and awful HTML implementation. One thing led to another, and now there are organizations all over the world doing the same thing.

Plus my humble website.

rand()m quote

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
