Oh dear

I was rather disappointed when an hour or so ago I flipped the TV on to realise I'd missed England bowling out Australia for 190. I usually have the cricket on in the background when working, then I can ignore it but still catch the exciting bits. Now, with England on 21 for 5 I'm beginning to regret turning the TV on at all. Supreme bowling by McGrath, but rather depressing all the same. [Listening to: Monday Niight Jazz (nice) - - ]

Content for next book

So it seems I'll have to change the complete style and content of my next book if I want it to get into schools anywhere . [Listening to: Spit On A Stranger - Kathryn Williams - Relations (Limited Edition) [UK]]

Software Patents Dead

Woohoo - the European Parliment has seen sense and thrown out the software patents bill. Common sense prevails. Thanks Chris for spotting this before me. [Listening to: Angel - Dave Matthews Band - Everyday]

More ASP.NET 2.0 and CSS Woes

Some time ago I moaned about CSS based designs and the output ASP.NET 2.0 controls render. I've just discovered another problem, with the Login control. My design (done by a proper designer) calls for a styled login area, so naturally I use the LayoutTemplate of the Login control to provide that. The problem is that when you do this your content is wrapped within a table with a single row and single cell. Hance my styling doesn't work. I now have to decide whether to change the stylesheet or to abandon the login control. The latter isn't such an onus...
