It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog. Mostly because I’ve been busy on zillion projects. I’ll soon write an update to my cascades queuing post. For a recent project of mine, flexivo.tv, I’ve been researching an efficient way to get rid of Amazon’s Simple Queue Service (SQS) service for one main reason, I needed simultaneous queueing capabilities. One message being in multiple queues at once, that is. My experiments with file system and MySQL queues, even when cascaded with memcached wheren’t performant enough. I found my answer in NoSQL. But now, enough for the intro, now the rant 
I’m writing this while watching Stephen Graham making a statement as Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire. So I shall make one too. Now about that fellah’, the INFAMOUS Internet Explorer 6. A friend of mine recently showed me a site of his making where he directs the IE6 users to a deadend page where he encourages them to upgrade. Sweet. I totally agree. Then he tells me that IE6 is a plague. It sure is, still agreeing. Then that it’s been alive that long because of all the conciliatory developers like him and me that worked, harder an harder as new standards like transparent PNGs came along, to ensure IE6 compatibility. And that’s where I disagree.
