Have you heard of AxKit ? Neither had I. But I’m looking at tools for developing web applications. I’m lazy so I want to do as little work as possible. AxKit seems like a possible answer. Oh yeah, and it has to use perl ;-) No php or java for me. In fact, this site is all php, but really I’m just using it for SSI. Funny thing is that my server has PHP enabled but not apache SSI. Oh well.

I made a mistake in the final copy of the IT Review Letter, so I corrected it and re-sent it to the Review board. Fortunately just ahead of the deadline!

Apparently people are having trouble viewing this site on windows IE. What can I say? It’s web standards compliant. Anyway, I added a little blurb to the top of the page that only shows up for me on IE for OS X, but is hidden in Mozilla/Chimera (i.e. webstandards compliant browsers). Hopefully it will show up for IE win people too. Also, I added a 404 page, that you might like. Or you might not. Anyway, you can see it by entering gibberish into the URL bar after the simonwoodside.com/

Draft of an Open Letter to the IT Review board at the University of Waterloo. You can print a nice copy directly from the page if you have a web-standards compliant browser (try it) that can handle CSS2.

Now I’ve added another style sheet to support printing. Try printing this page or just use print preview. Oh yeah, also I installed a hack on the left-hand navbox sidebar, so that it won’t leave trails behind in Chimera (it’s called hackbox if you care). Oh yeah, I looked at this page on a windows with IE 6 (on XP) and it was horrible. If you’re on windows, check out Phoenix which is a Mozilla variant.

What the heck happened to this website? Well, if your answer is nothing, then congratulations, you are using a standards-compliant browser (XHTML and CSS2). If your answer is anything else, get a new browser. I redid the site in CSS2 and XHTML, and, wow, isn’t it nice to get rid of all that tables crap? The only thing I don’t like about XHTML is that I have to close all of my paragraphs. Oh yeah, I only did the root pages, so the FTX and D&D pages won’t verify until I get around to them.

Added a few Imprint articles that I wrote but weren’t attributed to me by name. Mostly co-op related editorials.

I just updated the flow of the site a bit by collapsing the Imprint section into the “writings” section. I also updated the Imprint section so that it’s more complete and in chronological order – so those of you interested in reading the complete archive of S.W. Imprint stories will be very pleased I’m sure.
