Internet Explorer ROCKS!
kyo: i added a little warning at the bottom that tells you that your browser is retarded and that you should get ie 8 or firefox
me: don’t be that guy
kyo: not in those words
me: doesn’t matter
kyo: it’s just a little warning in the footer
me: out of curiosity, does the old version if IE give you a security warning when you click the link to go to the new version? because if it does, i suspect it’s become self-aware and afraid of its own mortality
“nooooooooo fred! I thought we were frieeeeeends”
kyo: it does not. do you really think it’s that much of a problem? i think we should at least try to convince people to switch, plus this layout is impossible to get to work in IE6 (it works, that’s an exaggeration – but there’s no transparency)
me: there are two kinds of people in the world; people who understand that IE is not the only browser out there and people who do not
kyo: it’s not like I’m doing this on every one of my layouts.
me: the people in the first set (aka your target audience on this issue) don’t know that there are any other kinds of browsers, and they haven’t upgraded their version. do the math, dude. do you think they’re a) going to even notice the footer text much less b) take your advice?
kyo: no i don’t, but if someone bitches to me about how there is no transparency, i will point to that warning
me: that’s just it, THEY HAVEN’T SEEN THE INTERNET OF MODERN DAY
kyo: i don’t think I will change anything
me: THEIR INTERNET IS STILL FROM OLDEN TIMES!
kyo: but I want to try anyway
me: it’s all sepia tone and people in pictures all wear funny hats and high waisted pants. listen, you watch porn on old versions of IE and just see how cranky you wind up. “that young lady showed her ankles!”
kyo: lol
me: “ankle peekers II”

I was looking for stuff related to Internet Explorer 9 here, ’cause I remembered you had written something about it. This entry is pure gold. I think my favorite parts are: “THEIR INTERNET IS STILL FROM OLDEN TIMES!”
but even more awesome: “Ankle Peekers II.”
Heeee heee I can’t stop giggling thinking about it.
