Curses and Blessings

So, I've been quite busy over the past few months working on an in-house project which I will talk about soon. But part of the quagmire of nuttiness that I've been buried in has involved frameworks and wirings and structures and architechture and code and all sorts of things that are the stuff of nightmares. More to come on that btw.

As if that is not enough, it appears good 'ol Uncle Bill and his cronies are finally pushing out ie7 through microsoft update, consequently breaking sites that were otherwise carefully and thoroughly hacked to work in ie6 anyway. Thanks to their new semi-dedication to standards compliance improvement on the platform, one of the website I developed just got broken and here I am saddled with the unpleasant task to having to rewrite the layout for the site to work in ie7.

On the one hand, I'm brimming with curses. On the other hand I'm getting paid to per hour of cursing so what's the downside?

Thanks Uncle Bill. Time to get started on that list for Santa. I wonder if he knows anything about DOM, html and standards compliance.....

Our site required an update to little less than a thousand files because of IE7.

Guess who ended up doing the changes...
