First published article, eh? Never forget ...

Coincidence? That is today's Wiz in the Sydney Morning Herald. Read it a few hours ago.

The priest who was the celebrant for our wedding told me beforehand that he thought that the bride and I would have the perfect marriage. So I called it off. I'd only have ruined it!

A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they are called -- I never heard of circle flies."
So the farmer says, "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's rear end?" The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement to even think about calling you such a name."
The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."

Finally had to give in and use Chrome as my default web browser. IE11 simply would not display CP correctly and we can't have that! Naturally I tried compatibility settings and some other bits but it still looked awful. So, hello 21st century!
|
|

|
|
IE11 won't display a lot of site. What's worst about it is that it's intermittent. Sometimes a site will work, then when you revisit, it won't work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
What kinds of problems did you experience? I use IE 11/10/9/whatever is installed/Opera/Iron/Firefox, and I haven't noticed any issues (that I'm aware of).
|
|
|
|
|
CP (and a few other sites) are not being displayed properly. Fine here at home, but the display is all over the place at work. Easier just to use Chrome.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have Active Directory at work it's possible that it's instructing your IE to fake an older version of IE.
I had a client once where any version of IE on their LAN would use IE8 compatibility mode unless the first meta tag in the head of the site told it to use a specific version of IE.

Any chance Microsoft Edge will edge you away from Chrome when Windows 10 comes out?

Yow! I just had a look in IE11, and it's pretty damned scary.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
