I’ve updated the JQuery Curvy corners plugin. It is now smaller (8kb) and has been JQuery optimized.

Ive also added a demo page here. Enjoy!

So I wanted to treat my fiancee to a new laptop for an early christmas present, I shopped around but was then wowed by an offer on Evesham Technology’s eBay shop. A great spec, far superior to anything else I could get for that price. So me being me, I bought it.
