April 6, 2009 — Browser obscurity; another post soon.

During the weekend we took a quick run in to Ontario for a family gathering. I must be getting to the age or adopting the temperament where this is turning into a lot of fun. I found wonderful people living busy and constructive lives.

While I was with them the topic of what I was doing came up and so I retreated to the computer room with one or two in tow and punched in the address. What came up using Internet Explorer was something like the website…but not exactly. Things were wonky with the odd dangly bits. Well, what do we need to do so we can look put together for the Explorer crowd? I gotta ask the Smart Web Guy…he’s solved so many problems so far that one more shouldn’t throw him. In the interim, if you want to see what the site is SUPPOSED to look like, may I suggest Firefox as a browser? Not my business to tell you how to look at our site, but it’s closer to our intent through that lens.

In other news, I’ve been editing our interview with Sergeant Chris Postma of the Grand Rapids Police Department Major Case Team. I hope to have that up by Wednesday. Sgt. Postma was born some time around the 30th anniversary of the Mina Dekker Murder. It would be unrealistic to expect him to carry every bit of knowledge about this case in his head. he took the time to review it at our request. There’s a lot of presupposition on my part, I fear. And I hope we didn’t take him away at a critical point from some other investigation that he was working. Yes, it’s on old case, perhaps unsolvable at this far remove, but he acknowledges that it’s an active case. And, of course, it matters.

More, soon.
