I can finally say it, I’m officially a Systems Administrator. Not the kind that tinkers around with his old *nix server in basement reassuring himself that he’s learning something not just procrastinating. But the kind that actually gets paid.

My one long year with multiple site outages and high ping response times is almost over. I’ll be moving from Dreamhost to my old host – Netfirms. I would be moving my blog and a couple of other sites so people who do stop by once in a while expect some downtime over this weekend while I’m doing this. If everything goes as planned this should be a smooth and easy transfer.

With CSS3, which is currently under development, you don’t have to break an arm and a leg to get rounded corners. Yes I’m a big fan of rounded corners. Just include this in your css.
border-radius: 5px;
Google Chrome recognizes this out of the box. But on Firefox, which is my default browser, it doesn’t show up. A little more research gave me this.
Layout Engines used by different browsers:-
Gecko: Firefox
Webkit: Apple Safari & Google Chrome
KHTML: KDE Konqueror
Presto: Opera
So for rounded corners in Firefox just include this line in addition to the border-radius rule.
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
That should take care of Firefox and the second line for webkit should take care of Safari. Frankly speaking, these are all the browsers that I really give a shit about.

Hope I’m NOT going through the same phase. I tend to pacify myself by saying that I’m learning something new everyday. Even my router has custom compiled Linux now! And I have to say I’ve gone through my fair share of kernel hacking.
