Anyone who's been in the business of web design for long enough---and does a good job of it---should be wholly familiar with the pie chart showing <a href="http://poisonedminds.com/comics/pm20060621.png">Time Breakdown of Modern Web Design</a>. If the graphic isn't available<fn>, the list is: <ul> Time spent actually designing anything (2%) Time spent trying to get the layout to work using only CSS before giving up and using tables (20%) Swearing (15%) Time spent trying to get the bastard to work in Internet fucking Explorer (40%) Time spent wishing a slow, painful death on Bill Gates and more swearing (10%) Time spent looking for that one extra space character in the Javascript that Firefox is throwing a wobbly over<fn> (10%) Time spent making the site W3C compliant (3%) </ul> <hr> <ft>I'm not going to copy original work from another blog.</ft> <ft>"Throwing a wobbly" must be a quaint, British (or Canadian) way of saying "pitching a fit" or "throwing a hissy fit". Or maybe some parts of America (I'm looking at you, Minnesota) are much weirder than I thought.</ft>
