To be clear, again -- I never would advocate discrimination in hiring. Anyone who says I would, or did, is wrong. #

I did a Google image search for the term screen shot on scripting.com to see what it would find.#
One of the first images was a Windows screen shot from the late-90s UserLand CMS.#
We were really proud to have successfully gotten off the Mac web platform, which had been completely rebooted by Apple overnight around Unix, shortly after Jobs returned. By getting onto Windows, we got onto a platform that we felt was more stable and had a better future. (Didn't turn out exactly as we thought, but none of these kinds of navigations ever do.)#
Today's Fargo users will see a lot of familiar features in this screen shot.#
I go for continuity. If I labor over an idea until I find the right answer, that pretty much settles it, and I move onward. And it has a nice side-effect that old users can become new users more easily.#
Note to self: Screen shots make lousy blog background images. #
When I throw Hail Mary passes, they work.#
I'm staring at the docs, and the elements in the DOM structure, and I'm trying to puzzle out how to get from this to the span just before it, and then find the wedge icon, and flip it from pointing right to down. I type some shit in, "This can't possibly work" I say to myself, and shrug -- what the fuck -- can't hurt to try. Then I run it and it fucking works. I don't trust it. So I'm going to put the code right here in this mini-post, just so I can come back and look at it in a while, after this stuff makes more sense and have another look.#
What's really funny is that when you're looking at this in my blog, this bit of code will have just run. #
