Pub Standards

Came across this site on a blog crawl and it gave me a politically incorrect laugh so it gets an honourable mention...

"And lo, another Pub Standards was declared. Everyone to the usual gaff on Tuesday, 15th August. Once there, you should immediately start to consume beer and criticise Yahoo’s hiring of Drew McLellan. Pub Standards London meet-ups are for social web-types. Join us for beer, web-talk, and other general waffle"...

Removing active/focus dotted link borders in Firefox 1.5

From Nathan Springs (sonspring.com):

"It is no secret, I love Firefox. I have been using it since the beta version of 0.8. Firefox 1.5 though, has a quirk that proves to be a minor irritation every time I use it. I am of course referring to the dotted outline that appears around every link. In versions previous to 1.5, the outline behaved similarly to Internet Explorer on Windows, wrapping exactly around clickable areas. Now though, it wraps completely around links that have negative value applied to text-indent."

You can put the biggest locks on your front and back doors, but I can still get in through a window."
