After, a long and hard 2009 I’ve recently been hired on as a web designer/developer at Hyperdrive Interactive based in Loveland, OH. I’m extremely excited working at a great company with great people. This is a dream job, being able to work on designs with the design team, and developing PHP and MySQL interfaces, I’m in heaven.
Hyperdrive Interactive pushes the envelope on present and future client marketing, making us a must for all your company needs.
Being part of this team I will do my part in making 2010 even a greater success. The future looks bright at Hyperdrive and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.

After validating my code the other day I went to test in ie8, and one would think maybe that finally got it right. Think again, my design was a complete mess.
One problem that I found rather strange was my block element footer which was being pushed up the page. Now, I’m not a big fan of using
<div id="clear_float"></div>
just because I don’t believe in adding extra markup to the page just for positioning and nothing else, so here is my before and after:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
</head>
footer /* all browsers */
{
position: relative;
height: 355px;
width: 100%;
clear: both;
background: #002039 url(http://www.k35c.net/wordpress/images/sky_background_footer.jpg) center bottom no-repeat;
}
footer /* ie 8 */
{
height: 355px;
width: 100%;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}

Recently while working on a remote server I’ve been experiencing a lot of performance issues. After numerous exchanges in emails with the host IT department, I found out by trial and error it’s not them it’s my beloved Firefox browser. I first noticed the change when using my virtual machine running Windows XP Pro. Now I have to say I was saddened by the event. Windows can’t be better than Mac. Sorry PC lovers, just say it ain’t so.
Then, the other day I decided to run Safari on my Mac and it ran like a dream. I’m still not exactly sure the performance lag using Firefox. Could it be a plug–in issue? I don’t know. I do know when experiencing this problem my iStat CPU goes to about 12%, and other wise around 3%. Please feel free to share if anyone has experienced this. Also, provide the million dollar question, I guess I should say the million dollar answer, what’s the culprit?
