End of December Update
Sheesh. Has it really been a week since I last posted?
I’ve been spending my time plugging away on ExpressionEngine and CodeIgniter. Both of these systems are getting a pretty substantive going over. You might say we’re giving them the business. We’re working hard. Very hard. As Les says, “pulling our hair out hard”; and its been a blast. There’s been 18 entries to the CodeIgniter svn repository, and many more to come. The changelog currently has 50 (five-zero) items in it, and (again) many more to come. EE 2.0 is also shaping up very nicely, and while I can’t speak about specifics, you will not be disappointed.
I’m trying to find time to write another tutorial for CodeIgniter. I’ve got 3 half-finished tutorials that are pretty substantial - why can’t you ever find the time to finish things off? Anyhow, as time comes free, I promise to write more. Next time I’ll write about something controversial, and get the juices flowin’ again.
Oh yeah… and IE8 passed the Acid2 test. Whoop de doo.

You sound unimpressed that IE8 managed to pass the Acid2 test. It’s a fairly stunning achievement that most other browsers can barely boast; Opera only got there as of v9.0, Safari since 2.3, and Firefox isn’t there yet (but will be with 3.0).
I find it pleasing that IE is finally catching up to the pack; whether or not I like Microsoft as a company or IE as software, the first fact of the internet is that if it doesn’t work in IE, it doesn’t work for business. If making it work for IE becomes easier, then my job becomes significantly easier.
