![WebKit Marquee CSS: Bringin’ Sexy Back]()
We all joke about the days of Web yesteryear. You remember them: stupid animated GIFs (flames and "coming soon" images, most notably), lame counters, guestbooks, applets, etc. Another "feature" we thought we had gotten rid of was the marquee. The marquee was a rudimentary, javascript-like...
![Display Images as Grayscale with CSS Filters]()
CSS filters aren't yet widely supported but they are indeed impressive and a modern need for web imagery. CSS filters allow you to modify the display of images in a variety of ways, one of those ways being displaying images as grayscale.
Doing so requires the...
On Mac, you should try this, it will copy the commit ID to your clipboard:
Also you can use short version of git hash:
I miss working a Mac, but Windows is working out just great too.
To shorten things further, you can use @ as an abbreviation of HEAD.
