Don’t you just love it when you thought you just finished doing a perfect coding job and then go to test it out in Internet Explorer, you find once again that %&$# browser simply does not display what you want it to.

Today is the official day Microsoft released their so-called “final” version of Internet Explorer 8. While I haven’t downloaded it yet, I have used the beta versions and I have to say, even though I have strong opinions about IE, there’s a few features I like about it. No, I don’t mean the InPrivate browsing :D , what I was referring to is the browsers better support of W3C Standards and parsing bugs that have been an annoyance to coders for too long.

I won’t list all the features of Internet Explorer 8, however, as we all know, Wikipedia is our #1 trusted source, so head over to the link below to read all the features of IE8.

Here’s some advice my program director left for me today. It’s something I find very true and believe is something everyone should read:

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
