The sputtering fury of web design
After this week, I am forcibly reminded why I am not a web designer. In brief: doing actual web design reduces me to fits of sputtering, inarticulate fury. If I could write a virus that would corrupt every single copy of Internet Explorer on the planet, after the week I’ve just had, I would.
That wasn’t all that got my dander up this week—as I believe I said, I spent Monday and part of Tuesday working around a PHP problem that could have been solved with one line in my php.ini file. Live and learn—and sputter inarticulately.
Then I tackled the next problem: recreating a department’s web design in OJS. It took me four tries over three days to get something that would work well enough (I had to kill some of the vertical interest, and part of the remaining decoration is missing in IE, but oh well) cross-browser.
What else did I get done all week? Jack, that’s what. I hate web design!
