Poor Henri… it’s so hard to leave that little guy alone for a week. I swear he can tell when I’m about to go, he was all extra lovey and adorable this morning. I dropped by Justin and Caitlyn’s last night and noticed how affectionaite they are with their cats, so I’m sure he’ll be in good hands while I’m gone, but still… I hate being unable to tell him, “Don’t worry little man, I’ll be back in a week!”
So after making some good progress on the camera-ready version of our IUI’09 paper, I took the time to turn a picture of Henri into an favicon for this site. Yay for kitty icons! Also, hurray for the Telegraphics Windows ICO export plugin, without which Photoshop can’t actually create icon files. Seriously Adobe… $999 and no .ico export? Telegraphics has been making this plugin for Photoshop versions all the way back to 3.0 and you’ve never thought to just buy it from them and bundle it? Of course, none of this would really be a problem if Microsoft would just make Internet Explorer support PNG icons, like every other modern web browser. I thought IE7 at least would be able to handle it, but from Googling around, it seems that no, if you want IE users to see your favicon, you still need to be using the icon format from Windows 3.1. Stunning.
