IE6 is not working!
Description:
Today (1/18/2009) at 12:25 pm Pacific Time, I walked into a Seattle public library in order to check my email.
I then went to Brightkite, and after manually typing in brightkite into the url, the page crashed into a javascript error thing-a-ma-bob.
Item of note:
EVERY, and I mean every, computer that is run by the Seattle Public library system runs IE6 only.
Don't know if your site is down, or if this is an IE6-only problem.
Here is the code that I see today:
