New site coming soon

Yes, it's true, I've been working on a new site design for pinciuc.com, and have been spending countless hours in front of the computer learning all sorts of new trickery (who says you can't teach an old dog?). The new design will be more stylized, modern, and attractive, although as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm impressing myself by becoming a CSS guru practically overnight. Well that's not entirely true, it was over a weekend, and I'm not a guru, but I am finally learning why this whole CSS thing is really catching on (see this great article). If Micro$oft can save 924 GB in bandwidth a day simply by getting rid of a few tables, I must be able to salvage at least a couple hundred bytes.

Anyway, the new site will be done entirely in XHTML and the aforementioned CSS. It should look exactly the same in most modern browsers (Spread Firefox!), it should load very quickly, and it should look nice. It will work mostly the same way as the current site, but I hope to introduce some new elements and changes over the next little while.

And before I forget, why doesn't Internet Exploder get with the program and support CSS properly? And why doesn't it correctly display alpha channels in PNG images? And why does it stick extra little white spaces and lines where they should'nt be? All this (and much, much more) is why Firefox is now my default web browser.
