Apathy Sketchpad

I realise this blog isn’t well designed for users of narrow skins. Therefore I have added a ‘hide sidebars’ link to the top-left corner. This expands the main central area to fill the window. It’s also handy for printing. I’ve tested it in IE, Firefox, Opera and Chrome, and it works in everything but IE.

IE users should switch to Chrome (not because it is better than Opera or Firefox but because it will be less of a culture shock). IE users on a computer network that forbids the installation of alternate browsers should invest in a pen drive and switch to Firefox Portable, and then petition their IT department to fire the morons that put that policy in place.

If someone wants to write an IE-compatible version I will use it, but I don’t think IE users would know what to do with that level of functionality. I can see them not pressing it in case other people on other computers want to use the sidebars, or rebooting to get them back.

For people who use the site a lot, the link seems to work as a bookmarklet.
