Gsource
Gsource is an archive of noteworthy ideas. I hope to intrigue the reader with ideas of my own as well as with the ideas of others. Since I mostly keep to myself, my web-presence might also link you to some aspects of my personal life without the need to pick up the phone and call me.

I enjoy film. I hope to better your film appreciation by briefly critiquing films i see. Newspapers review new releases. I'll review a Lifetime movie if I happen to catch all of it.
Gsource is an exercise in web standards. All pages should be XHTML 1.0 compliant. I will also strive to make information easily accessible with the assistance of open standards.
You should buy me a drink.

Another criminal heist movie, but the job isn't the main focus. The story soon becomes one of companionship and brotherhood in the most literal sense.
A good portion of the film is aptly set in a psychiatric ward.
Action, suspense, and gore are all carefully measured and delivered in exact quantities. The movie is so engrossing that I don't even recall if I viewed it with or without subtitles.
You should see it! Possibly a good date movie. The queasy may have a difficult moment or two.
I just spent many hours developing a CSS site style that I would be happy with. It looked much like the one currently in use, but it made content overlap gracefully.
Most of the time was spent learning about various relative and absolute positioning concepts. For a while I even had some kinky stuff forcing boxes to be inline instead of blocking elements.
After a while I was happy with the behavior of the test page and test style. I know it isn't pretty, but the functional aspects are more-or-less what I was going after.
Then i checked it in IE and found that half the content was missing.
Poop on a stick!
I investigated and learned that Microsoft figures that min-width and kin are unnecessary to serious web design. There is a min-width work-around, but it uses a proprietary Microsoft function call.
I think the function call needs to be in the body to dynamically detect and modify an object's width. Too bad for me, I really like having my style information in an external style sheet.
Blame it on the Microsoft web-browser monopoly. Lack of serious competition over the last four years stifled browser innovation and development. How long have we had Internet Explorer v.6? Was it much different from v.5? Have any significant features been added or have all of the updates been for security problems?
Guess what? Recently CERT recommended that users migrate to other web-browsers such as FireFox or Opera.
Guess what? Recently Microsoft announced increased IE development efforts.
