Buy Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Testers and give your customers a free weekend a year ...

Hey guys,

This article showed up on www.digg.com and I thought it was a fun read - You lose 2.5 days a year to slow websites

"Around 85 per cent of respondents - equating to 31.5 million Brits - also think that a slow-loading website negatively affects their perceptions of the company or organisation that runs the site."

Those pesky rounded corners...

Hey guys,

I'm kind of self-taught and under-talented when it comes to design, so I'm always on the look out for borrowing ideas whenever I can.

I've been looking for a good way to create those rounded corners that are so Web 2.0 these days without having to fiddle with a bunch of little corner images.

I came across this great site and I wanted to share:

Given your background, they will generate a pure CSS solution for those rounded corners. Really neat!

Thanks,

Eric.
