And this time I think I might try to keep it that way for a bit…

It was actually a pretty tricky problem, due to the fact the IE has a terrible rendering engine. It just goes to show that Microsoft thinks it’s too good to be standards compliant. As a matter of fact, you should try using a different browser. In my opinion, Mozilla Firefox is the best browser out there, and it is much more standards compliant than IE is. Not only that, but it has built-in popup blocking, tabbed browsing, and oh so much more. So get it. Now.

Enough of one rant, time for another. Thanks to our IT department here at Taylor, I had to reinstall everything (including windows) on my computer last night. They thought it would be good to do a forcible install of their corporate anti-virus software (Symantec) on all computers joined to the domain, over the network. Well, I was running Norton Anti-Virus at the time, and Symantec makes it clear on their website that the two products can have devastating results if run together. Such was the position IT put me in. I couldn’t even boot Windows into Safe Mode because my computer was so screwed up. Well, now I’ve disabled all Administrative shares that they took advantage of to accomplish this, so I should be safe now.

Woohoo for IT doing stupid things.
