Problem with Blog on MS IE8 - only at work!

Today when checking this blog, I got an error: "Cannot find file...". I was using MS Internet Explorer 8. I tried in the other browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome), and it worked fine. So I thought it must be something on my blog which throws off MS IE 8, and I began disabling / commenting out some of the Javascripts. But the error still remained - I was puzzled.

Then in the evening, when I tried again. Now it worked ok!

So my conclusion: it must be some settings of the proxy. At work, we connect to the internet through a proxy server, and I always have to change the settings. Never had a problem though. Also strange is that it only appears in MS IE8. Google Chrome actually shares the proxy settings, but that browser has no problems....

So I will enable again all my sidebar Javascripts, as most people in the world probably connect to the web without a proxy server.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8

A few days ago I upgraded to Microsoft Explorer 8. Was hesitant first, as new versions often have problems. But I must note that I was pleasantly surprised - no problem so far. One add-on was automatically disabled, something to do with a DriveLetterAccess (not sure why I need that in the first place...).

Some friends of mine had trouble: a lot of DEP exceptions in the add-ons, flash or images would not show up. But miraculously, these problems disappeared after a while, without any specific measures.

One issue is there, however, with the Blogger site: when logged in, the blog posts now do not show the edit-shortcut link below the post. This works ok in Google Chrome, and it used to work ok in IE 7 and earlier.

One other thing I noticed: the Microsoft Photosynths work now in several browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, MS Explorer. I will add soon a few more there.
