Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

See, that's why I don't take Facebook quizzes or the like. They also use the information to sell to 3rd parties. I read an article that talked about how they used a "lifestyle" quiz. If you said that you were depressed more than a few times a month, they sold your email to a drug company that sells antidepressants so that they could spam you, etc.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. Basically, what do people think "allow this app access to your information" means?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I don't allow any apps. Which makes my facebook page pretty vanilla, but I'm good with that. Seeing as how my college roommate spammed everyone with malware, I'd rather the alternative.

Anybody know how to save a web page to be looked at later? Basically, I've handed over the reins for my summer program, and I want to preserve a copy of the web page I designed before the new person changes it/I lose access to it.

I'm using Contribute, and there doesn't seem to be a way of saving it through that (or maybe there is and I don't know?). Thoughts?

Coding and Sleeping

I use Firefox's File->Save Page As...

Seems to work very well. I've used it to fake websites to great effect on April Fool's day.

I did that, but it just created a file in my pictures folder that included all of the pics from the page, but no text or layout.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

a file in my pictures folder that included all of the pics from the page, but no text or layout.

No HTML file?

Vortex,

I'm not sure what you want to save, but my favorite is the Scrapbook extension on Firefox. It is the bomb diggity.
