04/05/2003 Archived Entry: "Mushroom burgers"

Recipe for some great burgers:
Saute mushrooms and slices of onion in some butter. When they're done add some barbecue sauce and a couple of slices of cheese. Melt the cheese to make a sauce and pour onto your burger. It's good.

I tried going this whole week without writing a "today in my life" kind of entry. What did you guys think?

I am also trying to write reviews of shows/movies I watch and books I read. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be pretentious or anything. As a CS student I'm just never asked "what do you think of this", so I figured I should exercise the part of my brain that does that sort of thing. Its also a good way to learn to write a little bit better as I find I often have trouble writing down a string of related thoughts in a coherent manner. Anyways, you can all expect reviews of all kinds of various things and stuff. Hopefully along the way I'll convince some of you to see a movie you haven't heard of or read a book you would have never thought to.

Its been brough to my attention that this site looks pretty bad in IE. The table sizes seem to be rendered very differently between IE and Phoenix. When I get the time, I'll be switching how everything is done from HTML to CSS style sheets. That should get rid of some of my headaches. And to those who've been using IE and thinking "wow this site is ugly", use a better browser!!!

IE is a good browser. First off, it's integrated into my OS, so why bother using something else? Second, it's stable. I tried Opera and Phoenix but they crashed daily. Third, IE displays most pages correctly, even if their code isn't perfect - and since more and more people are putting out sub-perfect pages, this is rather helpful.

Finally... who cares? I'm happy with IE. And if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't know your site wasn't designed to look like this.
