A strange mix of AutoCAD, music, image manipulation and video

blog nauseam

This blog is ugly…

…if you’re using Internet Explorer 7. Thanks to Rick for pointing this out. It looks fine in other browsers, including IE6 and my own preferred browser, Firefox 2. Now I have to try to work around the IE7 bugs (which include splitting and misplacing images) to get the blog looking reasonable for everybody. Sigh. Thanks, Microsoft.

Anyway, this means you’ll probably see the layout change around a bit more over the next few days. Do not be alarmed.

blognauseam.com lives! Plus a web browser tip

I have registered the domain name blognauseam.com because:

a) it will stop anybody else grabbing it; and

b) it will make it easier for people to remember the URL if they don’t have me bookmarked.

No changes are required to your bookmarks or links, I just redirected blognauseam.com to blog.cadnauseam.com and will continue to use blog.cadnauseam.com.

That leads me to a web browser tip. I’m sure most of you already know this, but if one or two of you go “Ah! Cool…” then it was worth typing it up. When entering a .com URL, you can save time by just typing the main part of the domain name and hitting Ctrl+Enter. Your browser will then add the http://www. prefix and .com suffix for you.

Putting the two parts of this post together, that means you can type blognauseam into your browser, hit Ctrl+Enter and you should end up right here where you started.

New blog nauseam feature - AutoCAD tips

The top of the blog nauseam page now features a randomly selected AutoCAD tip. There are only a few at the moment, but I will be adding many more as time goes on.
