Thanks for taking a few of us.

Hi Aral,

thanks for your answer. I didn’t mean that you are a Mac zealot. I was basically just trying to say that there are other alternatives than Windows/Mac, like Linux for example.

That’s good to hear, Tom, thank you for the update!

Hi Julio, thanks for the heads up. I believe the issue was with the prototype library conflicting with mootools (or something else on the site). It was being loaded in by the Twitter Tools plugin to enable tweeting from the sidebar — a totally unnecessary feature that I’ve now disabled.) Hopefully, this should fix the error. I’d appreciate it if you could confirm that it is fixed for you.

Unfortunately, using WordPress plugins means that you can get incompatibilities if plugins use different JS libraries. It would be good to standardize on one or at least on the ones that are known to work together well.

Hi Aral,

Congrats on your new look. One comment though, just in case you haven’t seen this already. Every access to you homepage using IE 7 triggers the following JScript Error:
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn’t support this property or method

VisualStudio then points me to the file prototype.js Line 2 and the following code:
var Enumerable = {
each: function(iterator, context) {
var index = 0;
iterator = iterator.bind(context);
try {
this._each(function(value) {
iterator(value, index++);
});
} catch (e) {
if (e != $break) throw e;
}
return this;
},

and a second one pointed to some dynamically evaluated code with the following code highlighted
this.fireEvent(‘domready’)

with no information regarding the context I am afraid I can not pinpoint the error. In any case I hope this helps.

Congratulations!

Only when you said 80.000 (like in Wembley) per month I imagined how many people that really is. I wouldn’t mind getting that many every month.
Keep up the good work!

Aral: the spacing looks better on my teensy little screen. Very nice.

Quick update: Adi, I just fixed the font color issue on alternating comments. Thanks for the heads up!

Also, the site should scale a little better now :)

I can’t yet say that I prefer this layout over the previous look, but I’m always glad to see people moving forward with their sites. Personally, I’ve only been aware of your blog for a few months, so the history lesson was pretty interesting. I like to dig through the wayback machine to look at some of my old projects once every year or so myself.

“I was thinking of putting her up on eBay but I just can’t bring myself to.” I get you, I SO get you on this :) ..
Anyway that was a nice read for me that I heard about you in the last few years and I didn’t had the whole image.
Thanks for the post and mostly thanks for this blog. BTW your new facelift looks fabulous although I have to say that it looks better on an Apple Cinema 23″ or iMac 24″ instead of 15.4 MBP.
So everyone, if you don’t like Aral’s latest facelift you might just have to buy an >=23″ monitor (and if you find one with an fruit logo that’s even better)
;)
