| Stupid Time Zones | Friday, 2007 December 7 - 10:21 pm |
| Well, two irritations. 1. Where the hell are GoDaddy's servers? All my timestamps are apparently in mountain time. Dang, I'm gonna have to go through and calculate time zone offsets everywhere. 2. I thought I was being clever by inserting "​" into text strings so that FireFox could word-wrap them. That's a pretty well-known hack for the fact that unlike IE, FireFox doesn't support the "word-wrap: break-word" CSS property. Well, today I discovered that "​" isn't rendered as an invisible break character in FireFox, at least in the Mac version. Grr! No doubt, thousands of web designers have suffered from these kinds of things already. The question is, why doesn't someone fix it? There should be an HTML sequence where the server provides a GMT timestamp, and the browser formats it in local time. And, there should be a standard CSS property for word-wrapping. Geez! |

| The CEO of GoDaddy bought a historic pistol off my husband and I'm pretty sure it was sent to Colorado. |
