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

Have you tried adding initial-scale=1 to the viewport tag?

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

Yeah, if I use that, on the iPad it starts out small.

But I do need "initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;" for the iPhone, so we may just have to leave it that way for the demo.

Talked to my boss. We're not gonna worry about how things look on the iPad for now.

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

I'm having a caching issue somewhere between my Mac and my NAS.

It's slow--I get it, apparently I have way too many files in the folders, but that's my web site folder structure and without a lot of coding it's not changing. But when I navigate to the one in question with finder, it takes *minutes*--not to load the file list, but to actually bring it up to date. I saved four images there 8 minutes ago, but Finder is just showing them now, and Filezilla, the umpteenth FTP application I've tried flat out refuses to show anything in there from May.

This is 2113 files, FTR.

Most of the OS X FTP clients have choked listing the folders, BTW--either system hangup, or list not populating for minutes, or list not updating like mentioned above.

Is my NAS to blame? Is the OS caching? SMB? Is there anything I can tweak *anywhere* to address this?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

how do I view mouse over text on a touch screen?

have you tried just pressing and holding the link? that gives me a pop-up with various options, but it also shows me the link text.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know of a general answer, but for xkcd and other comics that I have in my RSS feed, when I view them using Flipboard the mouse-over text is added at the bottom of the image. Possibly a particular browser has addressed this, but I haven't really looked at many browsers.

Hos did you know that's what I was looking at, omnis?
