Did I miss a memo?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Our graphics person sent me a picture today, and I noticed that it was a .gif, and since I knew this came from a digital camera that defaulted to .jpg I wondered why he went to all the trouble of changing that. His reply was that the company that hosts our website told him to never use .jpg’s on the website because they are incompatible with some browsers.

Seriously, is this a wide-spread problem? I’ve used a pretty good variety of browsers over the last couple of years and I have never had a problem with jpg’s not displaying. That’s the format I use in my photo galleries, and I tested that out with a bunch of different browsers. What the heck?

    I’m sitting here, waiting for 5 o’clock to roll around. Not so I can leave for the weekend, but so I can do a firmware upgrade on our server without having to cut it off while other people are working. I’m hoping the simple upgrade will restore the lost communication between the OS and the…

    As you can see from Angela’s post about our trip to the Newport Aquarium, little Dylan seemed to have the best time when she gave him her digital camera and let him wonder around taking pictures. They’re not too shabby for a 3 year old. Anyway, she and I are thinking of trying to find…

    Dave Winer says the brain is hierarchic, while others disagree. I tend to think it’s completely individual. Some people work well with outlines and the way Dave describes it, some don’t. Let’s use his example of finding things in your house. Where are the Q-tips in my house? Right now there in our bathroom, but…

    It looks like, unless something drastically changes over the next three weeks, that the drive to Gnomedex this year will be part of a much larger, and longer, vacation plan. Last year, of course, I drove from Des Moines up to Fargo, ND to visit a friend, and then across to Montana and down into…
