You are not funny.

That is all.

Protests in Tehran, Iran today

June 15th, 2009

I love a good protest and there appears to a big one going in Tehran today.  For those of you who don’t know, Iran recently held an election and the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared victor.  Whether it was fraud, or he really won the election is definitely up for debate. The protestors wearing green support Mir-Hossein Mousavi–Ahmadinejad’s opposition.

Facelift v2.0 beta 2 released

June 8th, 2009

It’s that time again.  A new version of FLIR is available that fixes the bugs found in beta 1.  Download it now.

  • Backwards compatibility has been introduced into this version.  Your old v1.2 syntax should work without a problem now.
  • Negative line-height support has been added.
  • Detect safe_mode.  PHP safe_mode is now detected and an error is output unless CACHE_SINGLE_DIR is set to true in config-flir.php.  safe_mode causes FLIR’s caching not to work.
  • Hover in IE6 would sometimes break encoding during the hover state: http://forums.mawhorter.net/viewtopic.php?id=346
  • Errors in IE6 and everything still works: http://forums.mawhorter.net/viewtopic.php?id=315
  • The problem with the new CSS declarations causing problems has been fixed: http://forums.mawhorter.net/viewtopic.php?id=302
  • The previous bug was also causing problems with :hover text being rendered improperly in certain circumstances.
