Making the (Christian) Band

20. December 2004 09:07 by skills0 | 0 Comments

My friend James Stewart has some interesting thoughts on the new reality show based around taking the Chicago band Daniel's Widow to the masses.  One of the goals is to not only improve their marketability, but also their spirituality.  James has some questions about the implications of this....

Check browser compat in multiple versions of IE on the same machine

3. December 2004 08:18 by skills0 | 0 Comments

It's always been a pain to test browser compatibility with IE since you can only have 1 version installed at any given time. Or can you.... I was poking around this morning and this guy has figured out a trick to let you run other versions side-by-side. Turns out it's just a couple files that let you do it. (It's mainly a trick with the iexplore.exe.local file and figuring out which files actually run the browser).

Then this site has actually packaged up the files you need to do it, no install or anything. I just downloaded the IE 5.5 NT one, unzipped and opened iexplore.exe and I'm browsing under version 5.5. Certain things blow up, but it's good enough for just checking a layout or something, especially if you are just wondering about CSS or something like that.
