Two Came In and Six Came Out
In the beginning of the year, only two of eight people in the cluster used something other than Internet Explorer. That'd be me with Firefox and Stu with Safari. Now the ratio has reversed. Three have switched Firefox and one to Opera. The movement shall continue.

Internet Explorer Alternatives
"But all the pages I've been to work in Internet Explorer!" IE(Internet Explorer) users cry. That's because it just happens to be that 95% of the people who surf the web use that browser, and web developers know that. They also know that the majority of people are lazy and don't want to try new things unless it is significantly better. It is also unfair to penalize the people who may be forced to use IE(Internet Explorer) because it is company policy. So almost all web pages are tested in Internet Explorer. It pains us as web develoeprs to do so and eats at our soul. So won't someone please think of the web developers?

IE7
Enter IE7, a brilliant fix by Dean Edwards. It adds support for various selectors such as :first-child and [attr="value"]. It adds support for min/max-width/height which can make for the best of the worlds of fixed or liquid layouts. It even adds support for the <attr> tag.

Java's Private, Public, and Protected
Our CSE(Computer Science and Engineering) 143 professor, Brian Bershad, often uses analogies as a simplification of programming concepts. They usually work pretty well; many programming concepts are analogous to real life circumstances by design. It's just easier to program in. A few days ago, he gave this rather amusing analogy for understanding the Java keyword protected.
