Well I don’t know, and I don’t care. I looked up one thing, like everybody does from time to time. I looked up my name: “Sibran Lens”.

And i found some new stuff, that I didn’t know. My name is added on an article at mm.be and pub.be. It’s about the campaign “All about sex”, allesoverseks.be. I made the frontend development of that website. I am proud to be a part of that website, so Bing made me smile today, Bing made me happy, so Bing is a good product :)

Here are the articles:

Design for better browsers, then design alternative solutions to handle IE6 bugs?
2. Write a remedial IE6 stylesheet to address layout issues?
3. Use JavaScript to bootstrap CSS support in IE6?
4. Make your site look exactly the same in IE6 as in any other browser?
5. Develop to better browsers and spend no development time or testing for IE6?
6. Block IE6 users from seeing your site’s styles?

The only thing I tweaked myself is the rss icon, a free icon from Smashing Magazine.

It was necessary to update my theme because my own made was totally screwed after my last update from Wordpress. Anyhow, thx Horacio Bella for the nice theme!

It’s about 10 minutes biking from my appartment. I think I will take a yearly subscription when I have children (long long from now). Anyhow, here are some cool pics taken with my - non DSLR - Sony Cybershot DSC-H9.

Indonesia and Malaysia (Borneo) destroy about 51 square kilometers of Gibbons habitat every day, equivalent to 300 football fields every hour. The world’s fastest destroyer of forests including these Gibbons and many other apes, monkeys (Proboscis Monkey, Orang Utan), Pygmee Elephants, Birds and many more. I think this beautiful creature, talks with his far away neighbour ape.

By the way, “Vinnige gibbon” is my totem.

The roundup. This might be the best showcase article of 2008!

Introducing “The Highly Extensible CSS Interface,” a four-part series of how-to’s and savvy conversation to be published in the coming weeks, with the first article debuting this week. The phrase “highly extensible” is in reference to designing and coding interfaces that are flexible enough to adapt in ways the designer or developer may not foresee when handing off coded templates, while still retaining the overall aesthetic integrity of the layout. I hope you come to discover extensibility as being broader than just “bulletproofing,” though bulletproofing is certainly a significant part of it.

- Part I: The Foundation
- Part II: CSS Selectors & jQuery
- Part III: Adding Ajax Interactivity
- Part IV: Testing for Extensibility

The moment I was thinking about installing IE7, I noticed the beta version of IE8. So I installed IE8 and started some tests.

The installer takes his time (took me about 15 minutes to install IE8 beta version). First step was downloading, then a check for malicious software, installing Internet Explorer 8, installing updates, finishing setup. So, the installer was finally finished and of course… restart.

Ok, restart is finished, Launch Internet Explorer Browser… Yes, the first error message. Why didn’t they include it in the installer? Be careful when you install the beta, it overwrites your previous version of Internet Explorer.

Error 1

Ok, I just clicked OK and the browser opened. After applying my personal settings I can finally start browsing.

The first thing I noticed was the Emulate IE7, a good thing for us front-end developers. Even better would be that you can emulate for IE6. No more multiple installations. And it would be great if they could make the emulation without restarting your browser.

Emulate

I have only tested one site, apple.com, and I notices some strange things. I am not going to list them all, but I have added some screenshots from IE8, you can compare it with your own browser.

It’s still a beta version, and the biggest news is that they will be using the standards.

Don’t forget to read the article about IE8 beta from 456 Berea Street. They are talking a bit more about CSS 2.1, Built-in developer tools (that’s also a good update) and Zoom.

The screenshots

And now

Before installing IE8 I made a system restore checkpoint. Luckily because after writing this article and testing a bit, I go back to my good old IE6…

Charterdream is a website I had to develop with (x)html/css. The design was made by Dragonflame. The result is a small, efficient and fast navigating website about unique travelling. I have used Galleria for the photogallery, a Javascript Image Gallery from David’s kitchen. The only downside about this script is the loading time. If someone knows a way to speed it up, be my guest.

Charterdream is about a totally unique and exclusive travel concept born out of a traveler’s love affair with wilderness and open space, a world away from the established tourist circuits.

Check out the awesome pictures in the photo gallery and dream of a vacation like this! (be patient for loading time, hopefully I can get it fixed in the future)
