IE6 blues
March 2nd, 2009 by Stargazer
It’s one if the most common problems with the old internet explorer that it handles the box model in a wrong way and I have been cursing for hours due to that problem.

Bummer. Think I am addicted to caffeine by now. I came to the conclusion, watching myself in the morning: Without my mug of coffee I can’t even stand the starting day… and not to forget those people serving decaffeinated coffee – Hey!

Got to work by car as it was too icy today. Think that was the bikers season.
