i cant be that smart.

either my other webdev friends are just retarded, or i'm a genius. and you all know that is NOT the case. i know i have crappy css behind gigamatic. i'm a mediocre web guy, and i do what i can in < 6 hours per year.

i have friends... other web developers... who have craptastic sites full of bad css, unnecessary javascripts, and (feel free to shudder) table-based graphical layouts. "come look at my site! isnt it cool!" (flash, animated gif, javascript rollovers... amateurs.)

i'm not a web god. if you think i am, then you need a good whack with a proverbial 2x4. or you're just being nice because you don't know any better. but christ, people, start living in the modern age if you're trying to sell yourself as a web geek.

i just edited about 400 lines of heavy formatted table-based old-school HTML with an attached 100-line style sheet (the html also had at least 2 head's and 3 sets of body tags, extra /tables, etc.) into about 100 lines of lean, clean, css based html. sure, i've only tested it in one browser so far, but right now it renders exceptionally smooth in Firefox.

and the graphics? dont even get me started on those. hello? who the hell were you designing for? the blind? there were so many highly-compressed highly-artefacted (is that a word?) jpegs it looked like baby vomit on the screen. and lumpy baby vomit, at that.

ick. that was harsh. but come on... get with the times.

names have been left out to protect the guilty from ridicule.
