And the first one, the Soekris, is obviously going to be [...]

ie6 html “selected”

Posted: 29th January 2009 by Gert in Planet, Work

Viva IE6!
<option value=”4″ “selected”>
doesnt work
<option value=”4″ selected>

Anyways, another one solved!

Changing from Windows to Linux, there were lots of things I liked much better in Linux. Now, whenever I’m on a windows machine, it drives me MAD for several reasons (one of the most blatant being the apparently crippled multitasking it offers. Maybe not crippled but definitely different from Linux & I like the linux [...]

Finally!

As with prohibition, I was hoping that society would follow the by now main stream vision on piracy.. (Maybe vision is a wrong word since most people do conceive it as being wrong to download music & videos .. but everybody does so none the less.. So if not vision, then maybe filosofy?)
