I thought with Google (or is it Yahoo?) toolbar you can add widgets too. However, it's just some personal webspace, like my yahoo, or something, which you access and get your personalized information in a small easy to digest manner.

Cultured. Ehehehehe
I think has a fixation. You know, you should come to Canada with a dream. A dream of moosecock on every corner. Kind of like McDonald's except with more moose. And less cock.

So..how does moose meat taste, and how many months could one keep it in the freezer?

Actually since you mention it I'm a quarter Norwegian, and when I was there when I was little I tried reindeer which is pretty much your basic moose.
I can't remember what it was like.

And the great thing is that if you're in range of mooses (mice?) you don't need to keep them in the freezer, you can leave them outside, because it's so fucking cold

Not to dredge up drama, but are we to assume that Jay has once again left OSY? Anyone want to put money on when he'll come back? How long was it before he came back and started posting again?

Quite.
Yeah, so, stiiinking open source rendering engines... go here: http://lewissaunders.com/beng with anything using Gecko as a renderer and it will look broken. Hit refresh, and it's magically fine. Silly Gecko doesn't re-flow the text after the images have loaded, so it's fine once the images are in cache. Grr. I tested it, yes, but I didn't think to empty the fricking cache first

Let's not dredge up drama. I'd rather ignore it, actually.

It's a cool effect (when it works ) and I think it's easy to fix. If you add the width and height attributes it will reserve space for them and work right from the start. I know you shouldn't have to do it, but it's probably easier than most of the alternatives. :/

What about a meta refresh in the page for 5 seconds or something if that browser is used? Not the most elegant, but a good bandaid. |
But wouldn't it be a recurring refresh? Maddening!

I know I could fix it with width and height but the thing is I didn't notice until after the deadline

I didn't realize you couldn't just go back and fix it. That sucks then.

1) Opera works fine
2) I didn't know one could make text flow so nicely along image borders.
3) Interesting read too.

Why thank you. I had months to do it and of course did it all in the last two days.
If you look at the source you'll see that getting the text to flow like that was in fact a complete twat. I got the idea from Curvelicious.

I have b2 and there are still a few sites that break. I find myself using Firefox because some things aren't useable in IE, which feels a bit... novel
