My Social Search Engine:SansJ has had some updates to it’s interface recently. Most notable is the use of CSS based Buttons instead of standard HTML buttons. Thanks to some excellent free web 2.0-ish icons available here, I have been able to create some good-looking CSS buttons.The new menubar at the top has been created with help from here; which is a wonderful site to learn about HTML <li> and also look at some implementations (mainly CSS based menus).

I wa surprised to find that IE does not support :hover for anything other than <a> and was happy to use the workaround available here.

Another weird problem that I encountered with IE (versions 6 & 7).IE doesn’t seem to display text that had the color defined as ‘grey’, but, when I used the HEX value for color grey the text actually was visible. It is a bit difficult for me to put up with these issues as at home (where I mostly code), I use a mac and do not have IE (running windows a Guest OS, is something I wouldn’t want to do again), so I discover these quirks with IE when I get to work and then try to FTP to my site and try to edit files, and is getting quite painful as I am usually busy at work.

More updates, soon.I am hoping to complete some ideas that I would want to implement before I leave to NZ for a 4 day vacation.In preparation to the trip (apart from the shopping), I have decided to get rid of the tummy that could get out of control and found some help here.

                                                                                                                                            

Been watching a lot of movies and my thoughts:

1. Dream Girls - Some amazing performances, a stunning Beyonce and some stupendous choreography. A friend of mine went there half-asleep and came out fully awake.
2. GURU - For all the expectations, was disappointed. The story was not convincing enough, but have to give it to Abishek on a great performance, was it better than the short but groovy  performance by Mallika?, that I have no answer for!
3. Blood Diamond - The more I watch Leonardo act, the more I start to like him as an actor. A story touching a very delicate subject, thank God I do not ever remember using the precious stone(s).
4. The Pursuit of Happyness - Not mightily impressed, do not know why. The story was good and so was the performance of the actors, but, I felt that  the story was a bit too heavy, maybe it was because I was tired even before I started watching the movie, then again, can’t I expect the movie to invigorate me?

                                                                                                                                             

I finally got my Wii to connect to my wireless network, it definitely took me some time. The error messages that I used to get when I tried to connect earlier, really did not make any sense and none of the instructions/suggestions provided at various forums/Nintendo’s help pages worked.

I have Apple Airport Express (With WPA2 encryption, compatible with WPA and WPA2 clients and using a password) and was wondering if that was the problem. Maybe it was, but if you are having issues connecting your Wii to your wireless network, then also go through the step of manually adding Dns Severs, Ip address, Gateway Address and Subnet Mask in the advanced configuration of Wii Network Setup. This worked for me and hopefully is helpful for someone having trouble connecting their Wii to their home wireless network. I should have worked this out sooner than the time it took me, but, the error messages and corresponding solutions made no sense and in my case were wrong! Thanks for the confusion Nintendo!
