Jay & Amy’s Wedding Pics Featured on Rock n Roll Bride Today!
Feb 4th
Rock ‘n Roll Bride is a theme blog for the bridal crowd. Everyday they post some of the most unique wedding photos taken anywhere. I’m so thrilled that Jay & Amy’s wedding was featured on their front page today. It was such an honor and so much fun to participate in Jay & Amy’s wedding. They were amazing, beautiful subjects that I hardly had to do anything to make them really shine. I’m really proud of the photos that I took. They really turned out great! Congrats guys you’re such a great couple!
My complete photoset of Jay & Amy’s wedding is on Flickr.
They also compiled a few slideshows on YouTube.
Firefox Bug> :hover cannot bind to a classname with CSS in HTML 4.01 Transitional
Dec 5th
They say you learn something new everyday. Yesterday was no different for me. As many of you know I work at VH1. While working on the new sitewide navigation yesterday I came across an interesting HTML 4.01 transitional bug in Firefox. Special thanks to Tom Raab for help sorting this out.
Bug Description
As the title of this post implies, the :hover psuedo-class cannot be bound to a class name on pages rendered with a DTD of HTML 4.01 Transitional. For instance:
Broken Example
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML 4.01 Transitional test case</title>
<style type="text/css">
.class { background:#ccc; }
.class:hover { background:#ff0000; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="class">Hover over this to watch nothing happen.</div>
</body>
</html>
Working Example
Then simply change the DTD to XHMTL or the class to an id and watch the hover magic!
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML 4.01 Transitional test case</title>
<style type="text/css">
#id { background:#ccc; }
#id:hover { background:#ff0000; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="id">Hover over this to watch the magic happen.</div>
</body>
</html>
Broken Demo (Obviously this is only broken in Firefox)
Working Demo
Conclussion
I should probably file a bug with Mozilla, but after spending all this time on this post now its time to go eat. :P (I’ll file it later don’t freak out.)
Zipcar makes good, Visa proves they need to be regulated
Dec 4th
Well, I’ve finally heard back from both Zipcar and Visa. I was waiting to hear back from both before I updated the continuing saga.
Zipcar actually saw my last post and called me on my cell to see if there’s anything that they could do to smooth out the situation. Kudos to them for that. In the end, I got a $240 credit on my account that can be used for rentals over the next few months. I’m still a bit hesitant to try it again, but hey its something.
Visa was less than accommodating. They actually called me to tell me that I should have read the fine print before appealing. How insulting is that?! Like, I could have avoided it in their rejection letter! They either didn’t understand the basis for my appeal or they think I’m retarded.
I think my next move is actually to call Clark Howard. After that I guess I have no choice but to sue them. At this point I just want to make a statement out of this. They’re inviting me to take action. They clearly are begging me to assist them in levying heavy government regulations upon their industry. An invitation I’m all to happy to oblige.
If anyone knows a good class action attorney that I could consult with, I’m almost to that point. I’ll keep you posted.
Oops… Server Mail Was Not Working
Nov 15th
It has just been brought to my attention that the server’s mailing capability has been down. Thus the website has been disabled from sending confirmation emails and password reminders for a while now. Sorry to everyone who tried to register to my website over the last few days. I believe that I’ve fixed the problem and you should be able to go about your business of leaving scathing remarks about me.
