Sometimes you gain something by waiting. Good things come to those who wait. Unfortunately I waited too long; the pre-order list at Play.com for the new Nintendo Wii filled up before I realised that I would try and get one.
Whilst you folks in the US have already released the Wii, us poor schmucks in Europe have to wait till tomorrow. Hopefully not every store in town has committed their stock of Wii's to pre-order. It's going to be a long day.
If all else fails, I'll try and score a copy of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the GameCube. Not the most ideal plan as I wanted to finally be able to swing my arms around like a loon and direct the fighting.
My work on the website for the White Cliffs Motorboat and Yacht Club is progressing. It's should be easier to use than the current site; all the text can be resized and links change colour when the mouse hovers over them (green for internal, black for external and blue for emails). Also the tables used in certain sections of the site change colour to highlight which row is currently containing the mouse.
This wonderful new colour scheme works fine in Firefox, Konqueror and probably Opera. It doesn't work in Internet Explorer 6 or less. Insert rolling eyes here. Thanks to the lack of standards support, I will have to write some clever scripts to take into account the failings of IE.
So much for the simple life. Till next time,
Alex.
