So I suppose this article over at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will add more fuel to those people trying to keep everyone from using electronics on airplanes.
Not a very interesting article, though it will be interesting to see if there is anyting of substance to this study. I’ll not claim that it isn’t possible, but sometimes I think we over analyze things a bit too much. I guess what frustrates me is that several studies in the past 18 mos. or so have indicated that there isn’t much of a problem, that airlines have worked towards “shielding” sensitive equipment, etc… Though with the current financial state of many airlines today, that is a bit hard to believe.
Its kind of like butter – first its bad, then its good, then we’re not sure – or chocolate, same thing. Guess it’ll be one of those confounding mysteries, or urban legends – better call the MythBusters.

Ok, I figured out what was causing my weird behavior in IE6 – though I’m not sure why it cropped up in that browser and not IE7 or Firefox.
Seems my StatCounter was causing the issue. As soon as I moved the java script from the sidebar of the site to the main portion – the problem when away. Oh well, you can’t figure them all out. 🙂
Anyway – the site should be working fine now in IE6, though I’ll have to wait a few days to see if my stats are working correctly! Again, sorry for any confusion!

Or something in the site code anyway. Interesting results in Internet Explorer here on RickMahn.com. When viewed with IE6, the site’s sidebar is displayed below the last post information (and to the right – that part is correct). When viewed with Firefox and IE7, the sidebar is in the correct position – so I’m not sure what is causing the issue.
Obviously I’m going to have to comb through the code for the body and sidebar sections to really understand what is happening. Strange that it renders correctly in the beta version of IE7 and not in IE6.
IE7 however has a different issue. the top banner is displayed while the page is being rendered, then it disappears when the page is just about completely loaded.
Now I can hear all the Firefox users saying “so, what’s the problem” – and I’d like to leave it at that. However, I do like to have everyting working as it should and I’ll have to admit my main browser (still) is IE, though I’ll admit to using FF on an alarmingly increasing rate.
Anyway – just wanted to let you know that I’ll be working on the sidebar issue to correct the problem. 🙂

I’ve finally got around to customizing my blog here at Blogger! Neat stuff, and good flexibility compared to MSN Spaces. That is not to knock Spaces at all, it is maturing quite quickly – the differences are substantial, and I hope to make use of both services as I go forward.
