CSS

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I noticed CSS’s bizzare behaviour yesterday …discussed below.

Situation: I have a nested unordered list so something like:

begin ul

begin li

end li

begin ul
begin li

end li

end ul

end ul

Rule that worked in both IE7 and Firefox:

ul ul li{

} //which makes perfect sense

But for some reason IE7 behaves in the same manner if I amend the above rule as below which is incorrect…
ul li ul li {

} // I discovered this one accidently
I thought IE7 treated CSS properly …I guess it is still not as good as Firefox…

Snap preview

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Yes…finally I have removed the Snap previews from my site. I just wanted to test it and see it working and to me its just another way to distract the users. At this point I do not see what its trying to accomplish…

These are my opinions I am sure there are snap preview lovers out there … similarly there are zillions of myspace lovers out there and I just find it another way to waste time…my opinion after all…

What will you choose

Last week my brother booked an appointment with the hairdressers and showed up 15 minutes late…the hairdresser simply refused to cut his hair not because he was annoyed due to his lateness…he instead made a simple request to my brother to rebook.

He had a perfect reason to do so. He had another appointment in 15-20 minutes and he did not want to rush into cutting my brothers hair. He simply said – “I will not enjoy it.â€

Now there are two debatable issues here:

Do you think it was bad customer service to turn down a customer?

Do you think he actually lost a customer (my brother in this instance)?

Not at all…he was actually being honest and made it clear that his topmost priority was to make his customers happy and he drew tremendous satisfaction from that. He could have just cut my brothers hair, made the money and not bother with customer satisfaction. Tell me one thing will you not prefer to visit a place that treats you well…

Sometimes its about the customers and not the money…lot of companies do that but there are lot more who do not….

ETextEditor v EditPlus

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

I just realised yesterday a vital advantage of EditPlus on ETextEditor - Support Regular Expressions.

In EditPlus you can search and replace by Regular Expressions which is very handy when you are working on a long text file and would like to do a quick search followed by replace all…but could not find a way to do the same on ETextEditor (something I was expecting).
Let me know of a way you can do that on ETextEditor bypassing Regular Expressions while exploring ETextEditor’s features.

I still think they both are great editors and for the time being I will have to keep both installed.
