After I got the browser installed and restarted my computer, I pulled out the browser and looked at my test blog. Uh oh! I know instantly, IE8 is not all that Microsoft told us it would be.

• No CSS3 support (this can be expected)
• Any page with javascript on it gives an ActiveX warning that sounds like your computer just blocked a nuclear missile.
  • Even XML pages with no scripting on them at all give the alert.
• The “write a new post” page in the WP2.5 admin does not load unless you have the rich text editor disabled in your profile.
  • A “popup blocked” alert displays if you click on the dropdown menu on that page.
• Floated elements on a page don’t float correctly. They run on past the clear:both/clear:left/clear:right items and into the content of the next item on a page.
  • IE8′s new “developer” interface tells me that the floated items are inside an item that is three inches away.

Now, let’s look at some screenshots of WordPress 2.5′s new attachment upload interface. Try to spot IE8, Firefox 2, and Safari 3 from these:

Can you tell which one is IE? It should be pretty obvious. IE has no transparency support.

Here’s another test, have you heard that IE8 passes the acid2 test? It’s a lie, even though it’s better than IE7:

If you want a good browser, don’t go to Microsoft. Get , Safari, or Opera.

I asked a Jagex mod about summoning and two pictures that I was wondering about being faked or not. [Link] What I got for a reply is an automated message about the holiday season being busy.

I would like to bring to mind another time that I asked a Jagex mod a question in October.  The moderator in that replied was (I think) a real person, but they said that Jagex never automates anything.  I find that hard to believe.

Ryan wrote "Jagex are the biggest hypocrites on the internet."  And they are.  All of the new updates in December 2007 were to prevent goldfarming, macroing, and real world item trading.  They failed miserably, or as Warren would say, UNSUCSSSPHUL.  All of these updates and nothing happened to real world item trading that these updates were to prevent.  Even worse, they’re going on stronger than ever!  And it’s worse than that!  Jagex didn’t even put a dent in the rulebreakers, but made quite a few of the legitimate players quit out of frustration.  The economy crashed, we can’t give gifts, and we can’t pk!

To make things better, Jagex is going to release a new skill, a money drainer called "Summoning."  And guess what?  We get to summon giant green badly animated cubes of jelly!

Okay, maybe it won’t be that bad, but who knows, we’re talking about Jagex here, remember?

I’ll close this article out with a quote from Alex:

It’s pathetic. I remember appealing on an old account for macroing and they replied saying "We have conclusive evidence that you were in control of the account at the time."

If I was in control of my **** account how the hell was I macroing?

Okay, now I has my titles done, I iz talkng now.

I am going to start with the table of contents:

1. Egg battelz
2. Roketz goez *POP*
3. I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER?
4. Other crap

Egg battelz

I’m going to link you to it first, then talk about it. [X] Okay, now I linked to it. Now I can talk about it.

Kat/amac/lucypie/The-Kat-Meow/whatever-you-want-to-call-her is coordinating a big event on Runescape. You can read this, so click on the [X] and read her post. Basically, we’re supposed to put on our egg rings and not take them off, not even if there is a random event calling for us. I think that this might be a problem. What if a random kills someone? Oh well… I might be bringing a prize.

Rocketz goez *POP*

In other, more or less non-Runescapian news, in school, which started on Tuesday, we are building a rocket. Each of the six teams is building one, that is. Our team (team 6) is split into two parts, the design team and the propulsion team. I’m leading the propultsion team along with my friend, who has a name that starts with “R” and I will not say their full name because they might not want me to. Yesterday, as far as I know, the design team worked well together and I know the propulsion team did. We made a rocket engine out of a muffin paper thing, two film canisters, some baking soda, an eighth of an Alka-Seltzer tablet, and some vinegar, which I think was watered down (so the Alka-Seltzer would work better). “R” set it all on the ground and it went *pop* and hit the ceiling.

Today was nothing like yesterday, there was one kid who wanted to be with the propulsion team instead of the design team, “R” finally got that kid to go back to their own side, then there were two kids who started playing with the ingredients, I tried to stop them, but when I wasn’t looking, one of them armed a film canister rocket incorrectly and almost threw it at the ground before running behind the chalkboard. Then the same kid ran around and yelled something like “I WANTZ TO PUT BAKING SODA WITH WATERZ AND SEE WHAT HAPPENZ!!!” and “LET’S PUT ALKA SELSR IN VINIGAAR” and stuff like that. We got one test in, accidentally using the wrong film canisters after someone from the design team stole the two working ones, the rocket shot sideways and almost hit someone in the foot. Overall, today, we messed up a launch test, two kids wasted half of our supplies, one kid on the design team who wanted to be a flip-flopper, and one kid on the same team who stole our supplies.

I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER?

“R” said this today, so I talked about it, nothing much really, just that WordPress refers to it in the “Who can use WordPress” statement, saying that it’s someone’s cat’s blog. Sort of ironic, I said I would blog about it. It sort of became catch phrase of the day.

Other crap

Yesterday, I saved a town called Hallowvale from vampyres. I got blood-tithed a few times even though I wore my stealth suit. I wonder why the last Harry Potter book was called “Harry Potter and the deathly hallows,” maybe it’s because Darkness of Hallowvale is the last myreque quest so far. Let’s see: priest in peril, nature spirit, in search, in aid, hallowvale… That’s only 5… There’s not much of a connection here, maybe it’s another ironic event…

Also, this number relies on me getting all of the nature runes for free, which means 780 pure essence. I’m awesome.

Please remember to look at my runescape stats page for updates on this item.

P.S. I added a “money gained” feature to my stats page.

P.P.S. I might not be able to do this very quickly, but I will still be earning money.  RSBANDB SKOTM is comming up and I’m ready for anything.  Look out, knights, here I come!
