clipper's remarks: And so many fellow clippers gave me great words of encouragement - thanks to all of you!

It took a LOT of courage and pride-swallowing to come back to Telerx but it was worth it.

New New Old Job Today!

Well that lasted a day and a half :)

ScreenMatter is a great group of people with a future I believe in - it just won't include me :( The physical environment just wouldn't work for me. I sort of knew it wouldn't, but I let the hype of some friends and people I trust put stars in my eyes and I went anyway.

Telerx was gracious enough to have me back and I was happier there today than I've been in ages :)

Apologies to ScreenMatter. I feel like a jerk.

Seeking Ugly Women?

Outback mayor seeks "ugly duckling" women

Mt Isa Mayor John Molony was refusing to apologize on Monday for angering local women with a suggestion that "with five blokes to every girl, may I suggest that beauty-disadvantaged women should proceed to Mount Isa,"

"Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face. Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness,"

Really, beauty is only skin deep. Isn't there a fairy tale about an ugly duckling that evolves into a beautiful swan,"

The mayor said he was "telling it like it is"

"I'm a bloke who respects women. I believe we should look after women. I'm told men outnumber women here by five to one. If that's the case, then perhaps it's an opportunity for some lonely women," Molony said.

Protect Your Kids Online Using Open DNS

The first thing you will want to do is sign up for a free account and download the OpenDNS Updater application. OpenDNS will automatically detect your IP address and will prompt you to create a name and download the Updater application.

After signing up go to your Dashboard where you can start creating rules for filtering, manage your administrator settings, and add additional networks. Basically your dashboard is where you will make all changes you need. If you ever get stuck or have questions they also have a cool support system which includes a knowledge base and user forum.

Lets take a look at filtering content.

This is an example of the detailed categories in the Low filter setting. This helps you choose what types of content you want blocked.

Here is a list of all the categories available to block through OpenDNS.

HAVE they found poo on the Red Planet?

"On Earth, if you have a lot of ammonium and nitrate it usually means there is organic activity. We excrete it as waste and other organisms use it."

CSS Rounded Corners 'Roundup'

CSS Rounded Corners 'Roundup'

Note: This post is continually updated as I come across new techniques.

This collection of techniques to create boxes with rounded corners using CSS has become quite popular. The problem now is there are so many choices it's hard to know which one to choose.

To that end I've provided some more information about each method in order to help people choose which best fits their needs.

Some of these techniques use CSS and one or more background images, some use CSS, JavaScript and no images, and a couple use only CSS — no images or JavaScript required (more markup is needed though).

Not Sure Which One to Use?

There are so many different techniques now, it really depends on your individual requirements and preferences; particularly whether you want to use a JavaScript-based technique or not.

Try out a few methods and see if there's one that fits.

The List

Southern U.S. town proud of its mandatory gun law

Southern U.S. town proud of its mandatory gun law

The town north of Atlanta had little prominence until it passed a gun ordinance in 1982 that required all heads of a household to own a firearm and ammunition.

The Kennesaw law has endured as the town's population has swelled to about 30,000 from 5,000 in 1982.

"When the law was passed in 1982 there was a substantial drop in crime ... and we have maintained a really low crime rate since then," said police Lt. Craig Graydon. "We are sure it is one of the lowest (crime) towns in the metro area.

"There's been no move to get rid of the law. Why would you?"

Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii

clipper's remarks: OMG - unfit parents from day one.

Clip Source: www.theregister.co.uk

An NZ judge has done the decent thing and made a nine-year-old girl a ward of court to allow her to ditch what must rate among the most preposterous names of all time - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

The issue of the poor child's moniker surfaced during a custody hearing in New Plymouth back in February, the BBC reports. The victim of parental poor judgement had apparently refused to tell her chums her real name, and went simply by the initial "K".

The Beeb cites several successful blocks, including Cinderella Beauty Blossom, Fat Boy, Fish and Chips (twins), Keenan Got Lucy, Sex Fruit, Stallion, Twisty Poi and Yeah Detroit.

However, the powers that be did, inexplicably, allow Benson and Hedges (also twins, naturally), Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter* and Violence.

The Talula ruling comes amid a worldwide attempted clampdown on bloody silly names, including Renault Megane, Metallica and Superman. ®
