I love Postbox. I talk about it a lot. However Postbox is trying to be more than a mail client and as part of that is attempting to sneak into the world of GTD with the inclusion of todos and topics.

Now call me old fashioned but I use Things for my GTD stuff and so don’t use todos or topics in Postbox.

“Not a problem really is it?” I hear you yell. Well no until you look at the amount of space the topic row of Message View takes up. Believe me on a small screen this matters:

UPDATE `table_name` 
SET `field_name` = (SELECT CASE `field_name` WHEN 1 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) 
WHERE `id_column` = 1

Or with text strings

UPDATE `table_name` 
SET `field_name` = (SELECT CASE `field_name` WHEN 'foo' THEN 'bar' ELSE 'foo' END) 
WHERE `id_column` = 1

If you love getScript as a shortcut method in jQuery, but you hate not being able to control whether the script calls from the browsers cache or not then you can override the built-in function with a new one which is backwards compatible, so it won’t break any of your old code, and allows you to choose true or false to caching.

Read the original post by Jamie Thompson (via Internet Archive)

(function($){
$.getScript = function(url, callback, cache){
	$.ajax({
			type: "GET",
			url: url,
			success: callback,
			dataType: "script",
			cache: cache
	});
};
})(jQuery)

The share buttons that are currently offered by sites such as Digg, Facebook and Tweetmeme all have something in common when it comes to their height. 61px seems to be a developing standard.

The problem is that when you line them all up the Facebook share button is actually wider than the others which seem to come in at 52px.

Well you can make the Facebook button 52px in width without too much trouble. Facebook only use two classes to style the inner ‘Share’ button which seems to be the decider when it comes to the buttons width.

By shaving a little off the left and right padding we can bring the Facebook share button back down to 52px in width and make it play nice with the other share buttons.

The extra span is just enough to beat the included Facebook css with a higher specificity score by 1 single point.
