You can add this to your userContent.css in Firefox to set it back to having a line break after the person’s name.

@-moz-document url-prefix(http://www.facebook.com/) {
    .commentable_item .comment_box .comment_content .comment_author {
        display: block !important;
    }
    .commentable_item .comment_box .comment_content .comment_actual_text {
        padding-left: 0 !important;
    }
}

There are many blogs out there that are dedicated to covering one service. They usually make that pretty clear in their name. But I think it’s ridiculous for TechCrunch to have 8 posts in a single day related to Twitter (as they did yesterday) and to have only 2-3 days per month where they DON’T talk about Twitter. Twitter being down is not news. Twitter disabling search for a few hours is not news.

I was satisfied just leaving a short comment to this effect on the latest Twitter post, but after doing the brief post count research above and realizing how long I’ve tolerated this for, I’m no longer a TechCrunch reader. If they ever reduce the number of Twitter posts or perhaps split the mind-numbing posts off into TweetCrunch, I’ll be glad to hit the subscribe button again.

And like I said: I actually like Twitter. It’s gotta suck even more for the people that don’t care for Twitter.

You may notice that there’s now a horizontal line at the bottom of the list that should have been affected by the corner rounding, but was not. To fix this, open your CSS file and find the .listRowTemplate_template selector. It should look like this:

.listRowTemplate_template {
    position: relative;
    list-style-type: none;
    height: 24px;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-top-width: 0px;
    border-right-width: 0px;
    border-bottom-width: 1px;
    border-left-width: 0px;
    border-color: rgb(224, 224, 224);
}

We’re going to fix this problem by changing the two properties in bold above. Ideally, we would be able to add a :last-child selector to remove the border from the last row, but WebKit doesn’t support :last-child, only :first-child. So we’re going to have to change the border to being at the top of each row instead of bottom.

In the above CSS, change border-top-width to 1px and change border-bottom-width to 0px. Next, add this below that group:

.listRowTemplate_template:first-child {
    border-top-width: 0px;
}

This tells the first row of the list to not show its top border, and now we’ll get a rounded corner list that looks correct:

I really like it. Thanks Paul!

I found a great theme by Randa Clay that I ended up making a number of changes to — mostly with the width of the layout. I also redid my tags and categories and went through every post I’ve made and tagged it appropriately.

I added a favicon, rewrote my blog “pages”, and added my Twitter status to the sidebar. I’ll probably start blogging more often for a bit since I’m excited about it now.

You can’t add tr’s to a table in IE. You have to add it to a tbody. ERGO, this does not work:

var table = document.createElement('table');
var tr = document.createElement('tr');
var td = document.createElement('td');

td.innerHTML = 'IE sucks';

tr.appendChild(td);
table.appendChild(tr);

You must do this instead:

var table = document.createElement('table');
var tbody = document.createElement('tbody');
var tr = document.createElement('tr');
var td = document.createElement('td');

td.innerHTML = 'IE sucks';

tr.appendChild(td);
tbody.appendChild(tr);
table.appendChild(tbody);

Indeed.

In other news, Firefox 2.0.0.3 was released tonight. Help -> Check for Updates if you can’t wait!

Early this week I was invited to be on the Learning Management System Sub-committee, a part of the Flagship Information Technology Strategy (FITS) that will decide which single CMS to use as part of FITS Recommendation 7.01.

We had a committee meeting today and I am quite satisfied with the requirements that have been set out for the new CMS. I was also pretty pleased to see that several of the systems being considered for evaluation are open source. Unfortunately, this won’t be a quick thing – we are to make our final recommendation by August 2007 and then it will take a year for it to be implemented for August 2008.

I’m looking forward to working on this project – it should be interesting to see how it all works out, especially in regard to the open source vs. proprietary debate, some of which took place this morning.
