Blog Magellan: Archive Navigation

I guess this, my English site, will become more and more about web design and development in general with an occasional humor piece split in for good measure, while I spend more time covering philosophy, history, writing and film making in swedish.

One of my personal goals is to become a better writer overall. So on with that webby thingy then…

IndiPage (yes, it was spelled wrong)

Those who are interested, understand swedish and might be tracking this blog instead of my swedish one: I’ve begun, starting this week, to republish my articles about filmmaking that were online between 1996 and 1998 on my previous site IndiPage.

Todays Odd Anniversary

As you might see (if you’re reading this 24th of July) I have marked this day with its own custom header image just like I’ve already done 4th and 14th of July.

Stylesheet Issue: CRM-114

I think I just found some stylesheet issue with the Kubrick CSS. It is fully possible I introduced the problem myself, but I don’t think so mainly because a) I can’t recall touching any of the affected rules and b) I’ve experienced the same problem on other sites.

What I’m talking about is the font size in Opera 9 on GNU/Linux PPC compared to Opera 9 on GNU/Linux x86 and Firefox on both platforms. The later two cases render the site as the designer intended, while the first render it with xx-small as standard font (or something). It is possible the dpi difference between x86 and my iBook comes into play, and Firefox fixes it somehow while Opera don’t… I don’t know… I’m confused.

Well it isn’t an issue I’m planning to investigate and fix right now. My long term plan is to switch from WordPress and Kubrick to my own design and software anyway. So if the issue pop up its ugly head in the future, then I might be inclined to deal with it.
