So I booted into windows (ok, don't give me that look now, I had to use the webcam!!), and while I was at it I figured I'd take a look at how the blog and my website were rendering in IE.
One word: pathetic.
The font rendering was horrible. Some really useful CSS properties such as 'max-width' aren't even supported. Why does IE suck so much? I even tried some of the hacks I found, but even they didn't work (most involved using the 'expression()' method to set the width)
Anyways, I don't have the time and patience to fix layout right now. So if you're using IE and you think this site looks ugly, thats fine by me. But you'll be better off using a real browser.
Sheesh.

The CSS hack not the actual update. http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/
It’s a nasty way to do it but seems to work and with very little effort.
Thanks Adrian, somehow I’ve completely missed this (I usually don’t pay much attention to IE related news). Looks like just the thing I need!
