Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

OK, possibly a dumb question, but when I'm on Tumblr, I find a lot of the pictures get really narrow, to the point I can't see what they are. Not a big deal, but it's annoying.

Also - why is it that when I go on my office's database to export information, it defaults to PDF ... which for my purposes is useless. I always have to change the information - mailing lists of email addresses - to something usable in Excel. Again, not that big a deal, but it's annoying.

Always Anti-fascist!

Does anyone know why yahoo won't open excel attachments anymore? Is NoScript acting like an overprotective parent again? (Not urgent, as I do have another mailbox, but it opened them before, and by "before", I mean last week, so that's kind of freaking me out, and I couldn't do a work assignment over it.

Sometimes I hate CSS

Hey. New board.

Ooh I love CSS. But then I never have to do much with it.

Hey. New board.

I spent an hour and a half today fiddling with CSS for my CS class course notes. It's got a solarized color palette and code blocks with box shadows now, heh.

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

Can anyone help with an iPhone? I needed to get an iPhone for work, and a friend gave me her old iPhone5 with the condition that I clean all her info off of it. Is there any way for me to do that without having her password? She gave me an unlock PIN but it's asking for her password to her gmail account and I doubt she'll be comfortable giving me that.

Coding and Sleeping

I was trying to line up a couple of third-party controls while about five flex-boxes deep and the controls had some really weird width issues where they had a lot right-hand padding for no apparent reason. One of those things where if I could hard code widths it would take a few seconds, but, of course, you don't want to hard code widths unless you absolutely have to.

Our wings are not tired.

Looking at my iPhone - Go to Settings - Passwords & Accounts - GMail - Delete account

You shouldn't need the password to delete it.

Sounds like the controls are the problem, not CSS, but yeah, oof. Definitely so much going on in CSS that it can feel crazy. Thank God for chrome dev tools.

Laura, I'm scared to do that! I don't want to delete her gmail account, just remove her personal info from this phone.
