I was flipping through the channels when I came across this documentary on Canal D. It talks about this epidemy that went on all around the world in 2002 that killed more than 6 million people.

I thought to myself: have I been living under a rock?

there were interviews with officials from the centre of disease control and family of the victims, and there were footages of the victims (and they looked horrible, red blisters all over their bodies). and they did a report on how the army in the States were deployed to maintain order and distribute vaccines, and how some 30,000 people died in new york city. then they explained it all started with a terrorist who used smallpox as a bioweapon, and they showed footages of security camera that caught him in action.

when it was over I looked up the event on google, and that's when I found out it was a fictional drama called Smallpox 2002 by BBC ("Variole 2002" in french). apparently, it stirred up quite a buzz when it was out, so I guess I HAD been living under a rock when I was still studying in university. anyway, am I glad it didn't really happen.... yet.

I built a quick webpage using HTML and CSS. it looked great in IE on first try, but took me 3 hours to get it to look half decent in firefox. I hate firefox.

revised: Firefox was only trying to be compliant with W3 standards. I don't hate FF anymore. I hate W3. .e  21:02
