We are in the toughest division: the NFC East which consists of the Cowgirls, the Eagles and the Redskins. With our win against the Redskins today (Nov. 30, ‘08) solidified our NFC East #1 spot. The Redskins are in big trouble now. They are behind the Cowgirls who has a chance for a playoff wildcard spot.
In other news, Plaxico Burres wins the award for the biggest idiot of the week award.
As a web developer, I hate it when we have to make our sites compatible with IE6. I develop with FF and then test in Safari/Chrome/Opera. When it comes to IE, I have to test in both IE6 and IE7, becuase 20% of the users on the internet feel that IE6 is the best browser or they fail to upgrade or they are on a company PC which and too lazy to upgrade.
I really can’t take this anymore. There needs to be a universal appeal from all web developers worldwide to stop developing for IE6. In fact we should make all our sites not accesible in IE6 and force everyone to upgrade to IE7 or switch to FF.
The Giants are #1 in the NFC East, the Jets are #1 in the AFC East. Both are highly to be int he playoffs, but will they both make it to the Superbowl? Subway Superbowl! Man that’d be awesome for New Yorkers!
In other news, the Eagles got massacred by the Ravens. The Redskins barely beat the Seahawks. It was a must win for them because the Cowgirls easily (and unfortunately) beat the 49ers.
Thanksgiving weekend is going to be fun. Giants come to FedEx field!
So today and yesterday, I was having some technical issues with my company account. I had to call the help desk a total of 7 times in a 48 hour period to get it working. It was not until the 7th time when it finally worked and all my software and connections were back to normal. The strangest thing is the first 6 times I called, a woman was on the line and attempted to resolve the issue. The 7th time I called, a man was on the line and guess what? Problem solved. It not only took him less than a minute, but he got straight to the point. The women who answered my calls talked way too much without actually trying to resolve the issue.
This is how the general conversation was with the 6 calls (the women) went:
Yesterday had to be the probably the best weekend for the Giants. Why? The Redskins lost to the Cowgirls making both their records 6-4 while the Eagles didn’t lose or win (it’s been 6 years since an NFL tie game) leaving them with a record of 5-4-1. The NFC East is the only division with all teams above .500. THere is a very strong probablity of us winning the NFC East, inshaAllah. Although I am not going to jump to the conclusion that we can capture the division. There is still 6 more weeks of games. We still have to play the Cardinals, Redskins, Eagles, Cowgirls, Panthers and last Vikings. It’s an extremely tough finish line to the playoffs, but I am confident we will come up on top.
What happened to the Redskins? The Cowgirls suck. Tony Romo threw 2 int’s and barely made many passes. They aren’t going to the playoffs, but if they do there is some massive cheating in the NFL. The Redskins don’t have a really hard schedule left. They play us on Nov. 30. Can’t wait for that game.
The Eagles and Bengals played to the NFLs first tie in 6 years. Tie games are usually really exciting when its broken and one team wins, but not in the NFL. When overtime is over, it’s over, unlike other sports.
In other news, the Tennessee Titans are undefeated. Looks like the New England Patriots are not the best team in NFLs history. Detroit is probably the worse city to be in both economically and NFL wise. They have yet to win a game. Their city is also dying and the last I heard of its Mayor or ex-Mayor he was on trial for corruption. Hopefully in 2009, Barack can help Detroit and the rest of this country.
Can you believe that! That was the gas price in my state, I can bet there are even lower prices that hit below $2.00. The only thing good about the current state of our economy in America is that we have lower gas prices.
Gasoline prices have fallen while average crude prices have done the same in the past four months. Although U.S. crude for December delivery rose $2.96 to $64 a barrel in New York trading on Monday, that’s down from its high of $147.27 a barrel on July 11.
We just beat the Eagles in an extremely close game. I was very disappointed in the turnovers we gave the eagles. Every turnover for us gave them a touchdown. Their turnovers gave us only field goals. I’ll be honest, they had me scared throughout the game. Especially the drives in the 2nd half. The Eagles are good, but not good enough. Next week Baltimore Ravens come home to play us. They are looking pretty good, but I’m not to worried. I’m really looking foward to the Sunday night game between the Cogirls and the Redskins.
A win next week can seal our deal as the King of the NFC East, inshaAllah!

Azeem, I understand your point. I agree with you, but in my experience there are some situations where the extra development time is in fact much more

@Mark: Although I absolutely agree with you that hacks etc are bad practice and corrupts standards we are in a situation where we have IE6 and we need
