Terms of Use

There, I’ve said it. Perhaps it will help you to understand why I sat down tonight and decided to ex-out the worst of the bunch, Internet Explorer 5.5 (and below).

It pains me, physically pains me, to open up Internet Explorer after having designed something using Firefox as my primary browser. Granted, with IE7, things have improved and my design often (in a very general way) resembles what it should. However, taking steps backwards in the IE pedigree, things quickly go from worse to craptastic.

So, I decided, this is my site, and I should be able to set the standards for what “type” of people I want on here (you all, of course, are welcome anytime). I went looking for a script to help me do it, and couldn’t find one (to be honest, I didn’t look very hard). I found several that would pick out your browser type, and version. But the problem with these is the version number generally only goes as high as 4 - which all IE5+ browsers are.

My parameters were simple. If the person visiting the site had any browser other than Internet Explorer - they could come in. And to show I’m not a complete brute, I decided that those visiting with IE7, and IE6 could also come and play. Otherwise you get redirected to a page that informs the visitor that they might want to reconsider their choice of Web surfing app.
