Another rant

Now that I'm connected to broadband networks, I can listen to streaming internet radio without any hiccups, and today tried out 5fm's live stream. Alas, the ignorant muppets - they block access to non-IE browsers, simply because they embed the stream in the browser instead of providing it as a physical link to their listeners who might have the required player installed (Windows Media Player 7) but use a different web browser.

Anyway, rant over - here's the link if you miss listening to ads all day long: http://5fm.co.za/5fm2001/pages/media/5fm.asx.

I lied, rant has just begun. More poorly designed websites:

• SABC Corporate - inappropriate use of frames, popup windows, and a navigation that only works in Internet Explorer, when it wants to. And what's the deal with the little squares which supposedly skin the site? The site is incredibly slow but I doubt that's the reason it falls apart in any modern web browser.
• Ster-Kinekor - completely unnecessary use of frames, and bad use of drop-down form fields as navigation elements.

Fiddle sticks.
