Honesty: The best policy

Honesty is the act of being truthful and sincere. It is a fundamental value that is essential for building and maintaining strong relationships, both personal and professional. When we are honest with others, we show them that we respect them and that we value their trust.

Honesty is also important for our own well-being. When we are honest with ourselves, we can live our lives with integrity and authenticity. We can also make better decisions, because we are not clouded by deception.

There are many benefits to being honest. Honest people are more likely to be trusted and respected by others. They are also more likely to be successful in their careers and personal relationships. Honesty can also lead to a greater sense of peace and well-being.

Here are a few tips for being more honest in your everyday life:

  • Be truthful in your words and actions.
  • Be sincere in your intentions.
  • Be honest with yourself about your thoughts and feelings.
  • Be honest with others, even when it is difficult.
  • Be honest even when it means admitting that you are wrong.

Honesty is a virtue that is worth cultivating. It can make our lives better in many ways. So, strive to be honest with yourself and with others, even when it is not easy.

Here are some examples of honesty in everyday life:

  • Telling the truth about your grades to your parents, even if you know they will be disappointed.
  • Returning a lost wallet to its owner, even though there is a reward for finding it.
  • Admitting to your boss that you made a mistake, even though you know you might get in trouble.
  • Telling your friend that you don't like their new haircut, even though you know it might hurt their feelings.
  • Standing up for what you believe in, even though it means going against the crowd.

Honesty is not always easy, but it is always the right thing to do.

FIREFOX / IE Word-Wrap, Word-Break, TABLES FIX

One of the most annoying things a developer (who would normally delight in writing code, not futzing with markup) can have is getting rendering issues between different browsers. The two biggest players are of course Internet Exploder and Firefart (as I lovingly like to refer to each). In most cases that's going to take care of 98 percent of your total site traffic. IE has had a proprietary "word-break" style attribute for a long time, and this made it into the CSS 3.0 spec. But that doesn't necessarily help you with Firefox right now. Firefox literally - (and I consider this completely idiotic, since it's been in their bug database for FIVE YEARS) does not have a reliable CSS style element to force table cell content to break in the middle of a word in order to stop the content from expanding your table / div off the page or over other content on the page. Here's a partial fix, which will work for most tables and browsers. The style declaration (I call it m

Some observations on Script Callbacks, "AJAX", "ATLAS" "AHAB" and where it's all going.

I've taken a more than cursory interest in the whole Remote Scripting (.NET species) vs. AJAX and now ATLAS discussion, mostly because I started using Remote Scripting since Microsoft first released it, and because I continued to refine it after seeing Brent Ashley's excellent work with JSRS, which was one of the first "real" cross-browser solutions back in 2000 (that's the turn of the Century for you history buffs). Now Bertrand Leroy, a Microsoft guy whose work I like , has authored some very interesting ASP.NET 2.0 script callback stuff that he points to on his blog, and he is obviously (at least, to me he is) involved quite heavily in the development of this new ATLAS infrastructure that they'll preview at PDC. Leroy's most recent post brings to the surface what I agree are the major differences between the "AJAX a - la .NET" approach as popularized by Michael Swartz with his AJAX.NET library, and Leroy's RefreshPanel, the ASP.NET 2.0 b

IE7 - Vista: "Internet Explorer has stopped Working"

Image
This one was a bitch. All of a sudden for no reason at all, out of the blue, I get this dialog "internet Explorer has stopped working". I didn't install any new software, crap- I didn't do anything! So here I am using FIREFART to go on the internet and find out what to do! Damn! Good thing I've got the sucker on the same machine (I'm not "anti-Firefox", i just don't use it that much except to check my page renderings). The Fix The fix (at least for me): 1) Go into Control Panel, and choose "Internet Options". 2) Under the "Advanced" tab, press the "RESET" button at the lower right: Don't ask me why this happens, or why the fix works. That's a BUG, D00D - I don't care how you slice it!
