Of Browsers and Diners
Sep. 11th, 2003 04:25 pmSo... I guess Netscape is dead, huh? It seems like more and more web sites I visit with my trusty Netscape version 4.7 browser are just totally f'ed up. A customer of mine recently launched a campaign to drive people to a web site - and only 5 of 300 people visiting the site were using Netscape (instead of a version of IE).
In other news: today I went to Mac's Diner on Shrewsbury Street for the very first time. It's a pretty cool place - the food was decent, and quite cheap. The atmosphere was charmingly quaint; mismatched salt and pepper shakers and mismatched silverware, a hunk of butter tossed onto a paper plate for each table, and a basket full of their own baked bread cut up into chunks... top that all off with a sassy and funny waitress. It was kind of like eating at somebody's house - I thought places like this only existed in movies! I was told their dinner specials are hugely portioned and tasty. Today I was having a business lunch, so I settled on a cheeseburger, potato salad, and bread dipped in their marinara sauce (which they kindly brought out in a bowl). When the marinara hit the table, all I could smell was an overwhelming wave of fresh basil... which they apparently grow on a shelf outside behind the diner in tomato sauce cans. Pretty tasty sauce, I must say. Very sweet and rich, but not chunky at all. Burger and potato salad were decent as well, better than a few places around these parts anyhow.
It would seem that prominent Worcester people frequent Mac's - city manager Tom Hoover was eating there this afternoon, as was music crtiic/writer Brian Goslow. I'd like to take a group of people there with me some time for dinner... of course, I won't have any free time until October... *sad*
