Wanna know what a website use to look like.

Check out the first attempt at google.com

or how about the first OpenSRS web site. Nice job Ross!

This site is too cool 

View Article  Make Remembrance Day a holiday

This is a great idea.

A Toronto Liberal MP is calling on his fellow MPs to make Remembrance Day a national holiday. Dan McTeague, the MP for Pickering-Scarborough East, said entrenching Nov. 11 as a national holiday is a "no-brainer" because Canada needs a "firm and concrete testament" to the country's veterans and war dead.

"I think it's an excellent idea, an idea whose time has come," McTeague said. "And I would invite any backbench member of Parliament on the opposition or the government side to move a motion that November 11 be considered a national holiday."

Not even sure why it's not already a holiday. We have a holiday for the Queen and for the country,  but not for the men & women who gave everything for queen and country. Sadly, so many of our Veterans will never get to enjoy the day off.

To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.

View Article  Making Google Work

A great article about making google happy.

excerpt

Google is god. Don't piss her off.

Lots of people were upset that I used such a "trivial" example for the Daily Sucker. The majority of the comments posted to the site (and the e-mail I received) said, "Who gives a sh*t about the Lynx browser? Nobody uses it." Other people said "Making your site look good in Lynx is like accessibility. I'm not selling to the blind so why should I go to the trouble of making my site accessible?"

Why? Because the most powerful Internet force known to God and man visits your web pages like blind people and folks who use Lynx -- Google.

Google is blind and reads your sites linearly -- as the code is sent to the browser -- and then tries to interpret what it "sees" (I like to use the analogy that it reads your site like blind people read using Braille).
