IE 6 is a last-generation browser. This means that IE 6 can’t provide the same web experience that modern browsers can. Continued support of IE 6 means that we can’t optimize our interfaces or provide an enhanced customer experience in our apps. Supporting IE 6 means slower progress, less progress, and, in some places, no progress. We want to make sure the experience is the best it can be for the vast majority of our customers, and continuing to support IE 6 holds us back.

today was my last day working for imagenation, where i have been a web developer for just over a year.

i truly enjoyed working for mark williams, the principal there, who is kind, honest with his clients and his employees and whom i never saw get angry over the “small stuff”.

he was a joy to be employed by.

but i am moving on due to a fantastic offer that i simply could not refuse from SiteWelder, where i will once again be doing fulltime lasso development.

i am really excited about this new chapter in my life.

i am sitting here at my desk at home, which will be my office for the forseeable future.

given everything going well, i imagine being with SiteWelder for a long time to come.

here’s to the future!
