Eddie is writing a new book for all the money-incompetent people who didn’t really get what to do when they read his first book. According to our ever-reliable Sunday tabloids, he had a week scheduled in December to write this book (by means of dictation to someone else who’d have the lovely job of typing it up). A week to write a book that will doubtless get to the top of the bestsellers list….nice work if you can get it…..

Kind Regards,

Hi all,
couple of comments if thats ok…

On the Firefox issue firstly, thanks to everyone who mailed us about that. It really had us stumped for a couple of days, we tried all kinds of things, prayers of the faithful, promisies to return to Mass and there was one moment when someone who shall remain nameless (yes I’m talking about you DP) even proposed ignoring Firefox “cause it’ll never really catch on”; heathen!

Anyway we eventually cracked it this morning when we realised it was a timing issue as opposed to a compliance one. (All the code is standards compliant) We removed the “display:table;” declarations from the stylesheet. Apparently Firefox renders the table layout before the content is loaded. Anyway we’re all grovvy in firefox again.

On the Blog Issue, I have to agree with Piaras, it is a “Blog in name, but not in nature.” All I’m allowed to say at this stage is that its early days yet and please bear with us as we ease Eddie gradually into the 21st century in terms of the web. Forgive the trite response but there are “developments in the pipeline”

thaks for the feedback though, really appreciate it.

niall - thanks for leaving a comment because it meant i found your blog (looks great - i’m loving the pink! ) but leaving comments at 2am is rather disturbing too :p
i’m guessing they were just working at that time because eddie was on tv plugging it and they wanted to iron out any glitches…

dave - yes, the response i got said that they already knew all about the bug and were working on it at the time. they had placed bets about how long it would be before someone got in touch about it!

Did the response say that they’d fix it for FireFox?

I don’t know is it not a bit disturbing when you get a response on a saturday night? kinda suggests you should get out more…….

Bit weird for the average punter though because it has posts going back at least a month, although the site was probably dark during that period.

Bit silly plugging it when it isn’t ready because punters like me are going to start poking holes in it.

Hopefully things will change because I know he’ll get lots of link love and plenty of people would subscribe
