Hey. New board.

Does the stock messaging app have a pop up quick reply now? That was the main reason I used go SMS in the past.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, you still go to the app to reply.

Hey. New board.

Ah. You might want to give go SMS a try anyway then. Trust me the quick reply is a pretty awesome feature. I finally found a client that offers it for Google voice texts and I'm in love.

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

Hey--anyone have a LAMP host to recommend? B.org needs a new home. How much does unlimited cost these days?

Is there a free Microsoft Publisher program that I can dl and then access a document made with it with the official Publisher? I clicked a link that said it was free, and then it asked me for a registry key, so I don't know what the heck is going on.

I want to make a mock up of a brochure, but might need to do it at home. Just a simple three fold on a standard 8.5x11 that I edit further at work.

Hey. New board.

A quick search for "opensource page layout" found this: [link] and apparently they have a new publisher importer as of May 22. Probably not a complete solution but might do what you need. I may need to check it out myself!

Any CSS experts around? I'm trying to optimize a site for mobile, and I just realized that my @media calls aren't working in IE8. Google tells me IE8 doesn't support @media--of course--but even the javascript file I found that's supposed to fix that (css3-mediaqueries.js) isn't helping. Does anyone know of any other possible fixes before I have to resort to an IE specific stylesheet?

They pay me in WOIMS

Using <!--[if IE 8]> is actually less kludgy than the alternatives.

Phoo, I was afraid of that. I hate maintaining the same data in multiple places.

ETA: Thanks!

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

OTOH, what mobile devices use IE LTE 8? None. Depending on what changes you need to make (and whether you're building mobile-first or desktop-first), it may be safe to serve IE8 the normal stylesheet; it won't see your queries at all, but there are no mobile devices that need to.
