IE7 – Upgrade or DIE!

I was going to hold off on posting for another month or so to see if Gordon would fill his furry little head with some kind of obscure conspiracy theory, greatly exaggerating my demise or some such. I guess you could call it a social experiment. I got tired of that and his horrendous grammar and spelling skills made me want to shoot myself in the face.

As is common with my state of mind I’ve decided to flip off the IE6 users. The CSS fixes for IE6 have been defunct in IE7, causing even more bugs. Tonight I’ve gone and done a switcheroo. It now looks much better in IE7 than it does in IE6.
IE7 has been out for long enough now that most people should have upgraded. If you haven’t, buzz on over to this very page and download yourself some Interweb Explorer Siete.
If your Windows Operating System isn’t quite… let’s say… legal, then head on over to this page to fix that small little issue and be on your merry (Christmas) way.
Upgrade immediately, or face termination.

If you’re using Firefox, Opera, Safari, or any number of better browsers, make sure you have the latest version(s) and disregard the above paragraph. I suppose you can get IE7 if you really want to, I guess that’s up to you.
As a general rule to like, everyone on Earth and maybe like one or two people on Mars, you should always keep your browser up to date. I’m not saying why though, I like being ambiguously vague. Was that redundant? Redundantly vague. I like it.

Speaking of “The Earth”, since when did it become the only planet? I can’t wait for planetary civilisation. I probably won’t be alive for it but things like “The Earth” and “The World” will clearly become defunct. Unless people start going around saying “The Mars just blew up” or “A large object just crashed in to The Jupiter and millions of people were killed”. Interestingly (and unrelated-ly) I’ve recently been calling myself “The Baines” on MSN and various other places. Maybe by the time planetary domination comes around we’ll all be talking like 70′s Greasers. The Baines approves. Just an interesting thought that crossed my mind.

Regarding the header image, I’m from Australia, the only religion here is Christianity. If you aren’t Christian you’re strung up and stoned. After which your head will be separated from your body (a thing we like to call decapitation). Your body will be cut in to tiny little pieces and shipped as hate mail to Al Qaeda in an effort to increase our likelihood of being invited to America’s next birthday or Christmas party. In conclusion, Christmas is the only thing celebrated here at the end of the year. No Thanksgiving, no Hanukkah, no other obscure religious festival, just Christmas. Therefore I refuse to write “Happy Holidays”, “Merry Christmas” is all your getting.
