IE8 will render in standards mode by default

http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/03/03/microsoft-s-interoperability-principles-and-ie8.aspx

Yay, the "geniuses" (genii?) at Microsoft are finally doing something right! IE8 will now render in standards mode by default (and if you want to make it run on IE7 mode you have to put in some meta tag thingy).

If by standards mode they mean it will render pages like Firefox then I am happy.

Now all they have to do is put some Windows update code out there which will permanently destroy all copies of IE6 so no one will even think of using it anymore.

In all reality and sadness, I know we should be encouraging everyone to use Firefox, but unfortunately most people just use their system's default browser...

I am not even really happy about Safari for that matter...

Master of my domain

Hi All, I just got myself a new domain ( http://www.skuunk.com ). The reason is that Blogspot.com is offering cheap domain via GoDaddy.com and I thought after having this nickname for nigh on 10 years it was time to buy the domain before someone else did (also I read somewhere that using blogspot.com in your domain is the equivalent of an aol.com or hotmail.com email address...shudder...). Of course I forgot that I would have to re-register my blog everywhere (which is taking ages) not to mention set up all my stats stuff again. *sigh*. It's a blogger's life... In any case, don't forget to bookmark the new address and to vote me up on Technorati !

Speeding up RSpec

So today I have been looking into getting our enormous battery of tests to run faster. I have yet to find anything that works for Cucumber, but I did find an interesting way to speed up RSpec which is detailed here. https://makandracards.com/makandra/950-speed-up-rspec-by-deferring-garbage-collection Basically, it seems that by not collecting garbage too frequently, you can make your tests run much faster (at the expense of memory management of course). We observed a 30% reduction in the time it takes to run an RSpec test suite. I did try to implement this on Cucumber, however because we need to store much more in memory to set up and tear down our objects, it meant that I kept running out of memory when I wasn't using the default Garbage Collection and the tests took even longer (so, buyer beware). I suppose if you had a small set of features though you might see some benefit.

Responsive Web Design

I wanted to go over Responsive Web Design using CSS. In the old days of web development, we had to code to common screen sizes (i.e. 800 X 600, 1024 X 768) and we patiently waited for people to upgrade their computers to have a decent amount of screen real estate so we could design things the way we really wanted. We also took on semi stretchy web layouts etc to expand and contract appropriately. Then about 2 or 3 years ago, Apple released this little device called an iPhone with a 320 X 480 resolution which took the world by storm and suddenly a lot of people were viewing your website on a tiny screen again... Anyways, as it can be difficult to design a site which looks good on 320 X 480 AND 1680 X 1050, we need to come up with some kind of solution. One way is to sniff the client and then use an appropriate stylesheet, but then you are mixing CSS with either JavaScript or server side programming and also potentially maintaining a list of appropriate clients and stylesheets. Also, you
