Novemberborn, Straight lines circle sometime

Travelogue Slash Crash

I like travel of the passive kind: board a train at 8 in the morning and emerge at the other side of the country two and a half hours later. Same with airplanes: board the plain at 11 am and arrive in Copenhagen somewhere around noon.

Thursday and Friday were spent debugging JavaScript code for Firefox, Safari and Opera at work. While not exactly challenging work, in the sense that you can create cool stuff, it is a fight against several browsers, implementing IE’s XML features (really, it’s competition is only now approaching IE when it comes to XML/XSLT support and other proprietary features such as innerText) and forcing things to just work.

Friday night I had dinner with Anne and we and Sjoerd went to see Crash, which is a really cool movie.

Yesterday I returned to Enschede. No matter how small the Netherlands is, it still takes too long to travel from one side to the other.
