Well, TD 12 didn’t take very long to sprout. There it is smack dab in the Bahamas and headed toward Florida. Might even become a tropical storm by tomorrow. Guess I’ll have to wait a few more minutes to see what the NHC has to say about it. Definitely one to watch.
Accessibility and the WWW
Looks like my next project (whether I want to do it or not) is to work on making our department websites accessible by everyone. Something called Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. The hospital is also going with W3C‘s Checkpoints for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
It doesn’t look like it will be too bad. I think I should be able to accomodate the requirements with a few style sheet and template changes without too much pain. I suppose I should go ahead and run it all through the Validator while I’m at it.
Dog QOTD
Got a kick out of this quote nabbed from oaklandbay‘s sig over at the Lab Retriever forums.
If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them. -Phil Pastoret
Canuckian trivia games
Canucklehead quizzes sent to me by my sister. A fun trivia game to test your knowledge of Canada. And trivia it is indeed. Is there anything more obscure than Canadian trivia?
Need more power Scotty!
Wow, I remember when 350 W power supplies were beefy. 450-550 W supplies are pretty normal now. Here comes Enermax with a 1000 W power supply! And it draws some serious power too at 1400 W and almost 12 A. An ordinary 10A circuit isn’t going to cut it with this puppy. You’d have to run a 20A circuit just to provide power for this thing.
I suppose it would be useful in a big server chassis where you need to power lots of drives and/or CPUs. I bet it would be fun to have a box that would require one of these…
