Where am I in Google?

This helps me when I’m trawling through Google search results trying to find out what position a website is for a specific keyword phrase.

jpg background lines only in firefox

This is an issue with exporting jpg’s from Photoshop CS2/CS3. Even though viewing the jpg alone in a picture viewer did not show any horizontal lines when used as a background-image on a site it showed horizontal lines every 10-20 pixels repeatedly. The even stranger thing is this is only visible in firefox. You cant see the lines in IE6,IE7, Safari,Chrome!

I had to re-save the jpg in fireworks to fix the problem. Without a doubt the strangest bug I have ever encoutered.

Finally, I use conditional comments for IE6. The main issue with debugging for IE6 is that if you have IE7 then microsoft dont want you to have IE6 there too. This is where Multiple IE comes in very handy.
