Hello, World!

Greeting from Denver, CO!
This is my first post so I guess I'll explain what I am going to be talking about. Some tags you might see on this blog include:
I'm writing this at about 08:30 after being up all night working on a JavaXcript reference/tutorial website. It's still in its early development, so I don't even have it up on a host just yet. Even though this is going to be implemented with just JavaScript DHTML, I still think that the Visual Studio Express Editions are the best tool out there for creating a site. Even though I am not using .NET, ASP.NET, or anything like that, it just works better.
I have sort of a love/hate relationship with Microsoft (creators of Visual Studio), on the one hand they create some really good programming tools (the best in my opinion), on the other hand they refuse to conform to standards in their languages. Case in point is JScript , which mostly conforms the the ECMA 262 standards, but it differs on enough key points that if you want to support IE with the 'extra' features that Microsoft put into their version of the language (JavaScript), you have to write something completely different for the (web-standards compliant) browsers that are also in use.
My suggestion is that Everybody should stop using IE until they completely standardize it!
That's enough for now, I'll be back after I've had some sleep.
