I spent most of the weekend reading up on CSS compliance and separating content from presentation and fiddling with the site. And my sub-site that’s a work under wraps. It will combine knitting, HTML, PHP and a MySQL database. More later.

The more I read, the more I think MSIE s—cks. I keep seeing, This is a cool, efficient way to do this in just CSS, but IE doesn’t support it, but here’s a javascript work-around. I don’t want to do javascript work-arounds.

I did get a bit of knitting done during the Oscars, but, again, the hat is black and just won’t photograph.

J. suggested Saturday that I braise something for dinner Sunday. I’m not a fan of braised meats, except brisket, but I thought that if I made it myself I could make it palatable. I made a chuck pot roast, braised in beer, onions and mushrooms, finished off with potatoes, parsnips, carrots and more onions and mushrooms. J. loved it. It looked perfect. The gravy came out perfect. The vegetables were perfectly done, but not mushy. It smelled like a good pot roast. I still didn’t like it. There was nothing wrong with it, I just didn’t like it. Not the meat, the mushrooms, the carrots or the parsnips. The potatoes and onions were okay and I can go either way on the gravy. I’m not a gravy guy.

It’s a good thing J. likes it: he has a lot of leftovers to finish off.

I suspect that that had I made it into a giant curry, I would have been just fine with it.
