Yup, as a teacher, all I want is for them to go home thinking "Okay, how can I use this in the real world?"
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Our wings are not tired.
My degree is in Accounting, but I took sciences as electives. It was both as a contrast to my core subjects and because it was so interesting. Took Physics (my favorite), Chemistry, Astronomy, and Geology. Alas, my Chemistry class was pretty mathy and not so much explody. I perhaps should have noticed that I found my electives more interesting than the core classes.

I had something... bad happen to one of my servers which is why beagle.welarson.net is no longer around. I consolidated servers to save a little money after that.

I'm having a weird issue with gmail on my laptop: when I try to open an email to read it - nothing happens!
Does this mean that I've done something (which I don't remember) with my settings to make it wonky?

My custom CSS isn't working to override the background color. It's working on my phone but not on the laptop. Is this some kind of Chrome thing, and if so, how can I make it stop?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
My first though is your Chrome cache - it has the old version saved, so it isn't even trying to update to reflect your new CSS. Try Ctrl+F5 (Cmd+F5 if you're on a Mac), and if that doesn't work, try going through Chrome's settings to clear your cache manually.
Whenever I update my website, I find Chrome is the most temperamental about actually displaying changes.

I have a similar problem at my actual job - I'll update something on the website, tell people it's done ... and then they start bitching that it isn't showing up on THEIR computer. I now automatically add "refresh your browser" note in an attempt to avoid this. And I STILL get complaints from people who can't be bothered with that whole "refresh" thing ....

I'm working with someone in my office who wants to learn Photoshop. I've gotten him started, and he'll be working on it right next to me which means I'll be right there when he bogs down, but there are limits to what I can do, since I've been using it for over 20 years (time flies when you're having fun). What would be a good online source for learning? The Adobe.com site? YouTube tutorials? someplace free ... although the higher-ups may be willing to pay for him to take a class ....
