Ned Batchelder is a tech blogger I like to read, although he tends to deal with languages and situations I don't. Nevertheless he comes up with some great insights that have applicability to what I do and some great topics that extend what I know. […]

READ MOREAs detailed over on my work blog, I installed IE8 RC1 this morning. Because my home page in IE7 was this blog (it is in all my browsers), it was the first thing to come up in IE8. And IE8 immediately flipped into compatibility mode and displayed the page as if it was IE7.

It finally got to the point where the graph that's displayed under the Reporting tab in the Graffiti control panel had a line for archive that was 5 times longer than the nearest "real" post. Since the information about the number of people using the archive system is not that interesting to me, it was time to do something about it. […]
