Useful upshot of today...

Amongst a whole bunch of other stuff, I have at long last discovered a viable alternative to Firebug for IE. Okay, so it's two bits produced by the same person, and one of them requires a freely available addon from microsoft... but having them is alreay proving useful:

For the JavaScript debugging side of things:
CompanionJS (requires Microsoft JavaScript Debugger to function)

For the DOM inspecting / CSS side of things:
DebugBar

Neither has as effective a UI as Firebug, but they seem to be viable tools that each do their jobs. They also both work in IE6 and IE7.

Well, that was fairly hideous...

It seems that today, if it has rails, it's buggered. It's just taken me two hours to get to work.

First was "pot luck trains" from Egham. Incorrect screen information (that looked correct), no announcements or anything like that. The 7.50 was listed as the 7.54, so I didn't get it. Then when the 7.54 came in, I discovered the error, and got that instead and changed at Staines, where they also had no information, but at least they were saying that!

Then, of course, the district line was completely buggered due to a signal failure at Earl's Court. I'd probably have been better off staying on the 7.54 to waterloo and then come back out to South Ken.

Bah.
