BBC’s complaints about websites forced me to check webforth for markup errors. I fixed a couple of things. I explored more and checked some cool websites (Including BBC.co.uk) for markup as well as css validation. Read the results below to see whats going on.

It was interesting to see that webstandards.org fails in CSS validation and Microsoft.com has amazingly perfect HTML homepage. Cool!

It appears that it is extremely difficult to keep both markup and css valid. The sites with user generated content (Del.icio.us for example) and sites showing external markup (Like the ads in techcrunch.com) are more vulnerable to this.

W3c is yelling for standards and nobody seems to listen. Yes. This experiment will not be good for me in the long run. But they are just observations. Take that eye from me.

David Heinemeier Hansson has announced Rails 1.1, newest version of the much beloved web development framework Ruby on Rails.

Rails 1.1 comes with brand new features like RJS, Active Record++, respond_to and as David puts it, 500 other things. Great!

In this afternoon I got my new pair of contact lenses. All of a sudden all women looked more beautiful.

Somebody had said the devil is in the details - with a slight twist in the meaning.
