[13:29] Yummy snacks,dismantling and CSS wrangling
Due to DR testing I got Saturday off which was well cool! We slept in (I got up around 0900 but that's sleeping in for me these days) and then scooted up to Borough Markets to do some produce shopping and have some fun. It was all pretty interesting and there was some really nice food around but the prices weren't really competitive with the chain supermarkets. With that in mind, the veges were definitely much nicer than what you'd find in Tescos so maybe it's worth it? We snacked on spicy sausage-inna-bun, toasted chorizo 'n rocket rolls (which we had to queue up for for about 15 minutes), cheeses, breads, brownies and cakes (award winning cakes no-less).

We rode home and I spent a happy hour dismantling a discarded stereo to get the magnetic tape reading head. I've been waiting for AGES to find one so that I can build a card reader, that's going to be my next project. My current project took up the rest of the afternoon, smashing together the new CSS layout for this site. It's taken me about a month of Sunday afternoons (and it's Sunday evening again as I type) but I've finally got the damn thing doing what I want in both Firefox and IE - what a pain in the keister! I'm no CSS guru (which is why I wanted to do this) but it's unbelievable how differently these two browsers will render the same HTML/CSS combo - god knows what Safari or Konqueror or some other browser I've not got access to at the moment will do.
Anyway, the static portion of the site is done (with a few data updates pending) and hopefully next weekend I'll be able to update the blog portion as well.
