New Class Hours!
Very exciting news today; our main office has authorized an adjustment of our classroom hours. The new classes will be 12:15-4:15 p.m. and 4:15-6:15 p.m, both classes will meet Monday-Friday. I think the new hours will give more people an opportunity to attend our program; these new time slots should work better for people who are working, in dedicated job search, or who have family commitments. Please help me to spread the word about our new program times; if you belong to a job search or community group, this post contains all of the information about our classes.

Re: Future-proof your CSS with Conditional Comments
Bruce rather undermines his arguments for using so-called “Conditional Comments” by giving out the venerable but outdated “Tantek voice-family hack”. His argument about an extra style sheet requiring an extra HTTP request really does not hold much water. One extra “hit” to the server is pretty insignificant, and once the style sheet is in the browser’s memory (“cache”) no more requests are needed.
See the Wiki at CSS-DISCUSS for alternatives. (My favorite is “box in a box” which does not rely on browser bugs at all.)
Not mentioned in the article is the way “Conditional Comments” can be used to hide code from IE, as well as the other way ’round. See Microsoft’s explanation.
Cordially, David.
