Stylesheets are hard

I've been hacking stylesheets since they first appeared back in the late 90s. But this current project making 20 themes in just stylesheets is the most difficult.

I need to make sure that they work with IE6, IE5.5 and IE5.0 Win. As well as looking good in Mozilla.

Lucky for me, I don't need to consider Safari or any other Mac browsers nor Opera. These themes are for an intranet for the Government and no other browsers are needed.

Still, it's slow. Very, very slow. Make a change — check in four browsers... And of course, making each theme look the same in each browsers is extremely complex. One will, then you change to make it work in another and the first one changes... Repeat and repeat for a whole day, and all you've done for that whole day is one small piece. It's so frustrating.

Officials Say Mob Stole $200 Million Using Phone Bills. New York organized crime figures bilked millions of consumers out of more than $200 million over five years by adding bogus charges.

There maybe evidence that this has spread internationally. I'll be checking my bills from all the phone companies I use: Orange, TeleWest and another from which I hire my 0800 numbers from. I've never trusted them anyway. Now, I have good reasons for my suspicions.
