I’m posting this in case someone else comes across this strange bug.

I recently had a Silverlight project start displaying a vertical scrollbar in the window in IE8.

It turns out I had ‘formatted’ the page that hosts the Silverlight object control and that since the div element was on a separate line from the iframe element, it was causing the scrollbar to appear.

I tried playing around with the CSS since I don’t think it should matter how I have the angle brackets in the page but I finally gave up and just put it back the way it was.  This still feels dirty to me.

So if you are having similar issues.  Here’s at least one solution.

My father in law brought over a 1/2 cord of firewood at the house warming party.  Since the wheelbarrow was busted, it took me 2 hours moving it piece by piece from the pickup truck in the front to the back of the house.  For computer desk jockey - ouch.

My first time stacking.  Don’t think I did too bad of a job.  Course I had to look up on youtube how to stack firewood (nerd).  The crossing pieces at the ends thing was a good idea.  I called my builder and he recommended a couple 4x4’s to use as a base for the stack.  Yes, when you code for a living, you may find yourself inept at the basics in life.

I’ve been having fun splitting the firewood with an axe.  Making it a workout by doing it in 15 minute increments.  That way is burns nicely in the fireplace and stacks nice in the log cradle.

It’s fun working with my hands instead of my head.

Always lots to learn in life.
