A site about programming, web design/development, social media, and other oddities.
I owe a HUGE thank you to my buddy Sam Chang tonight for pointing out a bug that caused the last list item in my navigation to be out of place. Here’s a screen capture of the problem…
What my site looked like in Chrome and Safari.
Sam addressed the problem to me and said that he had been using Google Chrome for his web browser, so I downloaded it (I’m a FireFox/Mozilla user by habit), and lo and behold, there was trouble in paradise. I immediately downloaded Safari and came up with the same results (reason being that both render pages nearly identical to each other).
After a little patience, caffeine, and willpower, the issue has been fixed!
As a result, I wanted to provide some of you with some tools to check your site across multiple browsers simultaneously so that this issue doesn’t creep up again. The first link is a web based service that I used when I first started working at Planet Label, while the other is a plugin that I’ve used in the past for class and client sites.
I’m currently in the process of wrapping three majors at UWSP in Computer Information Systems (CIS), Web and Digital Media Development (WDMD), and Philosophy with emphasis in Religious Studies. Right now, I am a VB.NET programmer at Sentry Insurance, Social Media dude for Planet Label, and computer, social media, and web guy at the Stevens Point Brewery.
I specialize in .NET and the Adobe Flash platform, but also love HTML/CSS, JavaScript/AJAX, PHP, and SQL, to name a few. I have an appreciation for the design side of the web, too, and content management systems such as Joomla or Wordpress.
When I am not developing or designing, you can catch me reading about Comparative Religion, Philosophy, Physics, and the occasional fairy tale or two. I also love going to concerts.
