I am working on getting the Plurk boxes rounded to look a little nicer. I have some early CSS written up that almost works, but I am having a hard time making the right hand border line up when a plurk is expanded. I think it has to do with that width being dynamically hard-coded. Yes, that sounds a bit odd, but it’s basically on page load, the plurk code sets a static width on the expanded box.
So, I am looking into fun tricks like negative margins and/or padding, but not having too much luck so far. For anyone that wants to use what I have so far, here is the CSS ( it also includes a piece to round your dashboard):
#plurk-dashboard {
color: #ffffff;
margin: 0 5px;
padding: 10px;
border: 2px solid #ffffff;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-khtml-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
border-radius: 6px;
}
.plurk_cnt {
border: 1px solid #000000;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#form_holder
{
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;
}
I just ran across the WordPress application in the iPhone app store today and, well, this is me testing it out.
I was driving to work one morning and happened to spot a baby being given away for free! I thought they were pretty expensive, but I guess you just have to know where to look.
No, it’s not really a closed beta invite or anything like that. But I’ve been having fun on this fairly new Twitter/Jaiku/Pownce/Something-like network, so if you want to give it a shot:

Hope to see you there :)

I just got the strangest newsletter from Mozy. The guy that runs the company seemed to be a tad bit off in this very “professional” blurb:
One of the nice things about being an ugly American is that I make all sorts of ignorant and culturally insensitive remarks about other countries. And as luck would have it, I had that opportunity last week when I visited Montreal. (That’s in Canada.)
The first thing I noticed about Montreal is that it’s a very clean city – like Toronto in that respect. Oh wait – actually, the first thing I noticed was the streets were on fire and full of police and rioting citizens because I guess they won an O-KAY (that’s hockey) game. My flight got in late that night and the taxi driver had to change his routes because the streets were blocked off by police.
Other observations I had were related to confusing things like French-speaking people with the Queen of England on their money and the lack of $1 bills in their currency. Also, the whole “Canadians burned the White House down in 1814? makes me sad inside, but I guess that was a long time ago.
Be Safe,
