Sketchy Elf, who knew?
I was invited to the Kava Bar for Open Mic Night to watch some friends perform, and one of the patrons decided to do some urban sketching. Well, they decided to use my silly self as a subject and I'm Totally happy with the outcome. Not a bad likeness.
Always worth a laugh.
I sort of had a good reason this time.
Ok so running elfLand on a new server now. Because of the CentOS debacle, I'm switching to Alma Linux like pretty much everyone else.
So anyway, when I'm testing a new server build I generally move all of my crap over first to see what breaks. With BackDrop, NextCloud, WordPress, Matomo, and a few other things running on the nice new Apache/PHP/PHP-FPM/MariaDB/APCu it gets a workout.
Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.

@hotelzululima @juliewebgirl Ha! John.
I used to work on Lawrence and Keifer in Sunnyvale. McAffee was down the block and I'd go over (to steal espresso) for "training" on their Av kit.
Met John a few times ... that boy was Right Bat-Shit, and that was the 80s.

Agree BUT there are valid expected reasons for a window to pop-up, like a quick view of a product.

I agree with what you're saying 100% but there are valid expected reasons for a window to pop-up, like a quick view of a product.
Ask them exactly where they are? I don't understand what that means.

And by "excellent contrast" I mean whether the user is using light mode or dark mode.
Your black "x" on top of a mostly white photo should not turn into a white "x" on that white photo.

Mobile popup windows should NEVER completely cover the screen. Leave 5% on all sides so it's obvious what's just happened and make the damn "x" (to close the pop-up) in the upper right corner with excellent contrast.

Was this in reference to my prediction or @elfin's comment?
I'm just trying to get a damn square on my bingo card.
Also, I really have no friends or co-workers so yay me?

You may have read that wrong. I said Trump would *blame* Iran, not that they did anything.
