I gotta agree with Eric Meyer. The Opera lawsuit is stupid. The only reason that people don’t install things besides IE these days is laziness, ignorance, and poor marketing on the part of the other browsers.
Not the mention, I like Eric Meyer got no beef with IE7. It ain’t half bad — if only the adoption process was better IE6 is still about 14% for CatCubed and a whopping 50% for the UCSF Fetal Treatment Center.
Been a bit dry here lately as I’ve been busy busy revamping NifNaks. My revision 2 design was cute but the navigation just wasn’t flexible enough. Also I had been struggling with a couple of issues with CubeCart, my ecommerce engine, for a while.

It was still a lot of work, with a couple late late nights, but it all pulled together faster than I thought, and I gotta say I like the admin of Joomla way better than CubeCart. There were a couple struggles getting the credit card processing working and couple other things, but I got most of it fixed.
With just a little fanfare, I happily announce the…
It works, it’s got products, it accepts credit cards, and I’m happy with the design. Yay!
Still to do: transfer over all the old blog content and set up url redirects; help Nifer add more products; fix those little picayune things that still bother me aesthetically.
