Last month come up with 2 pleasant surprises:
- The percentage of visitors of my site that use Microsoft Internet Explorer dropped from 60% up to 46.2%, thus passed below the 50% barrier.
- As a consequence of the first point I am seriously considering using the scripts of Explorer Destroyer to achieve the goal of less than 25% of IE users on my site.
The script is still a little bit too intrusive and I don’t want in any way make the Web surfing unpleasant for those users who freely chose to use IE: they have as much right to use IE as I have to use Firefox. However I would like to “rescue” those newbies that doesn’t know that there are other explorers beyond IE and I really don’t like to twitch my pages in order to work around IE’s bugs.
To learn (or better to learn again, since I already took a few Japanese lessons, before being obliged to quit for lack of time) is on my “tomorrow I begin” list since at least six months, but I was too lazy to do it.
So I decided to finally find a Japanese teacher in Nancy . Hopefully I will be able to assist to lessons in my University , but I wouldn’t regret to spend a couple of hundred of euros to learn this beautiful language (and if I must pay, I am more motivated :-) ).
