Greetings, Salutations, and Felicitations, Thou Denizens

Only three more days at New(PreviouslyOld)ClientCorp

I wasn't actually sure if anybody else on the team was aware that I was finishing this week (except the one chap that I get on really well with - he uses me as someone he can bitch and whine about stuff to, and I do the same, so I naturally mentioned it to him), but today everybody seems to have been mentioning the fact, so it appears to have been promulgated.

All I need to do tomorrow is to finish off this thing-of-beauty-and-joy-forever that I seem to have been revisiting for ages... but this final feature is going to be the one that makes the users wet themselves in sheer joy every time they use it, so it should get me out of there on a reasonably high note

It's seriously gorgeous... that fact that it happens in a web browser (without plugins, and cross-browser) just makes it even more excellent.

Still, I've been making browsers do things people wouldn't expect of them since the days of Netscape Navigator 3/Internet Explorer 3 in 1997... it just takes a little ingenuity

(FWIW, Internet Explorer 3 was Microsoft's clone of Netscape Navigator 2... but then again, Netscape Navigator 3 was just Netscape Navigator 2 with the originally-intended feature set and the most egregious bugs fixed )
