Happy New Year! Thank you for being with me this year and I hope to see you in 2009. Here is the small present for you. Somebody requested a desctop wallpaper with Japanese nature.

Another wallpaper for my visitors. This time I have optimize it for Windows Vista Aero theme. You can see my desctop screenshot. The original Odalisque photo has more colors, but as long as Vista Aero skin is more black, I have decide to desaturate the picture. Anyway, here are all sizes including widescreen.

I want to say more thanks for my site design and share a good link with you. As you can see I have used a futuristic image on the background of my site. During the design I have decide to place “Frank Lloyd” sketch (which are definitely artworks) on my site. So I start looking for high quality image and have found a perfect place with many high quality futuristic images from old magazines.

I have notice that I have about 10% visitors who is using Internet Explorer 5. First of all, people!!! stop using this buggy browser! Please, spend 5 min. and get your self a real stuff like Mozilla or Opera. Belive me, you will open a different web world for your self =)

So, my next wish was to look on my site through IE5. WOW )) That was painful. Actually, I have found, that it was possible to reach a photo gallery, but the whole site make-up was well… shit.

Want to try IE5 glasses? Here is a really good link. Thanks to people who made this. Now we have a collection of stand alone browsers which can be installed on Windows computer without crash or removal of previous (main) version. Here you go: Evolt browsers collection.

A small tip: You need only the directory “standalone”. Download the version you need, extract and run. I have try IE5 it works perfect on XP.

It was really funny to browse my favourite sites using IE5. Most of them siply don’t work ).

I wouldn’t describe all the fixes I have done with my site to make it look exactly like with IE6. There was maaaany. Now, IE5 visitors, unfortunately I can’t fix left column, so, you wouldn’t see last shot, last tutorials and comments, USE the menu.

I have done a small tutorial about separate CSS attachment. This should help people to attach a different or additional css file with fixes for IE5. Please take a look Separate CSS for IE5.

I have notice that I got many visitors who is using Mac Os X integrated browser “Safari”. The browser itself is a very conditioned and follows all the w3c standards.

The problem with it is that not all web developers can check their sites on it, because there is no Windows port of Safari (only some rumors about Apple plans).

Personally, I have found a friend with Mac ) thanks to him, but I also have found a good resource which should help you to see how is your web resource looks in Safari browser. The resource iCapture was actually down when I have try to use it =) but this is because of server overloading.
