When GMail and Firefox Suck
For the most part, both GMail and Firefox rock. However, when you're typing a long e-mail in GMail and you hit Ctrl+R instead of Ctrl+T, it really sucks. Rather than opening a new tab, I lost my whole e-mail message. Damn. Maybe it's time to go back to the desktop client. I've lost a few e-mails with GMail, but I don't think I've ever lost one with Outlook or Thunderbird. I guess it's time to setup GMail's POP3 access.

Fix CSS max-width in IE
Anthony has a good post on using this minmax script to fix a CSS bug in IE. If you're using the Sunsets theme (like I am) with Roller - you might want to add this to your page templates. I've patched this site - thanks Anthony!
To patch your theme, create a page with name "_minmax.js" and link "minmax.js", populate it with the script contents and then add the following in your theme's <head>:
<script type="text/javascript" src="$ctxPath/page/$userName/minmax.js"></script>
You can also create CSS pages for your site using a similar technique. While we're talking about IE bugs, you might want to know that <script/> doesn't work in IE, that's why you always have to add the closing </script> element.
