Multiline Ellipsis CSS

May 24, 2022   |   Web Dev

Use this, seems to work pretty well. Note, that you don’t want to add any padding on the target element, otherwise it will show text beyond the overflow: .blog-tile-excerpt{    display: -webkit-box;    -webkit-line-clamp: 3;    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;    overflow: hidden; }

Offset a Path in Inkscape

May 28, 2021   |   Web Dev

I used to use drafting programs quite frequently in the past. One common action that I performed quite frequently was offsetting lines, which was pretty simple to do. Every once in a while, I find the need to do something similar in Inkscape. While not quite as easy and straightforward, offsetting paths in inkscape can […]

Cutting People and Objects Out of Images in Photoshop

March 3, 2021   |   Web Dev

There are many ways to remove image backgrounds in Photoshop, or cut people and other objects out of photos, including some moderately-automatic ways. However, I’ve always found the output of most methods don’t produce results that I’m overly happy with (I just tried the “Object Selection Tool”, and verified that it’s output is less than […]

Importing Large MySQL Files into PHPMyAdmin

February 15, 2019   |   Web Dev

The default file size for uploading mysql dump files into PHPmyadmin is around 2mb. I needed to upload a 160mb file. How to do it? 1. Increase the maximum execution time for phpmyadmin: I use xampp, so I just had to find the config.default.php file, which for me was located in xampp/phpMyAdmin/libraries/config.default.php. I then searched […]

Fixed Position Div Isn’t Staying Fixed When Scrolling on Android

February 2, 2019   |   Web Dev

My nice fixed position toolbar wasn’t sticking as it should as I scrolled through on my mobile browser window. It would appear sticky at times, but as I scrolled, it would slide up or down. The solution is to add “minimum-scale=1” to the meta viewport tag, which for me, now looks like this: <meta name=”viewport” […]

Join Two Nodes That Sit On Top of Eachother in Inkscape

May 1, 2018   |   Web Dev

Joining two line segments in inkscape is generally pretty easy — at least if the two nodes to join are situated closely together so you can easily click on both and use the “join selected nodes” tool. But most of the time I want the nodes to sit right on top of eachother. How do […]

Why Do Stock Photo Companies Suck?

April 4, 2018   |   Web Dev

I have a growing distaste for stock photo companies. I remember trying to cancel my monthly subscription with Bigstockphoto.com — which took two tries and a call to their support. When canceling, they have three different prompts to ask if you’re sure, and apparently on one of those three screens, I clicked that I wasn’t, […]
