It’s been a quiet day, apparently everyone, and I do mean everyone thought it would be a fun day to go to our local Costco store, something that I really couldn’t handle, so while I wait for the newest episode of Doctor Who (in about 2 hours it’ll be available to watch on my iPod, modern technology huh?) to download, I thought I’d have a little fun here…
I’ve played with the idea of changing the WordPress generated 404 page for a while, especially to match my silly little tagline about being served up by a Commodore 64… So I did (yes, I was that bored) but apparently it only works on Firefox or Mozilla based browsers, as IE reverts to it’s 404 File Not Found default.
Just for reference, the old 404 was the same as when a search came up empty…
Alas this doesn’t come up that often, so it’s a nice little treat for you if it does.

IE measures the length of the page returned in a 404 and if it’s below a certain length it displays its own built-in one. If you pad your page out with more code, you may get it to display in IE.
Ahhh, thank you Mr T. All I had to do was add a whopping 30 bytes of fluff
*grumbles about IE*
