Project: DuckSauce Notes Part IIII

     A lot of this article not going to make sense to people because it relates to my thoughts as I wrote them down and what I researched or tried to understand. Some of it is wrong, and looking back probably could have approached somethings better but that's just a natural way of learning. Also a lot of my notes are going to appear as if I'm going in circles (or that's just how I see it). Previous articles can be found here.

Day 1- 10/2/14
    I started looking at the chrome.devtools.panels.openResource, by resources I think the docs means a web page's resources not the devtool's resources (something that work-spaces might have access to). The next part, "Requests DevTools to open a URL in a Developer Tools panel." 
"The real power of Work-spaces lies in being able to map a local file to a URL (or “Network Resource”). Whenever Chrome loads the mapped URL, it displays the work-space folder contents in place of the network folder contents. It’s as if it’s being served on the web, but you can modify it with DevTools and save the changes persistently to the local file."  If that's the case I could really just map the files and use the url in place, and then have the listener do my cleanup after a change (explained later why I might not want this). I can test this with a local app and have it mapped to my machine the example above will prove this. Proved this to be true...I might be thinking it all wrong as just having the location of my resources is not enough, I know where but not when or how to permanently edit them. 

Day 2- 10/12/14
    With the autosave feature, what if I modified an open resource then copied the same process of autosave. The user would still be using the same access points and permissions with Workspaces. I just need to understand "autosave" and then attach it to my projects. 
Reloading the Page....onResourceContentCommitted -Fired when a new revision of the resource is committed (e.g. user saves an edited version of the resource in the Developer Tools). 

Day 3 - 11/10/14
   Current version of Ducksauce plus with what I had in grunt-workspaces combines has some of the features that I am trying to achieve. Minus the dependency of using nodejs. 

If openResource opens the resources in a new tab that might prove useful for when you need to view the less or final version of a web app.

 Resources

using JavaScript with Google Drive - Stack Overflow - If I couldn't do it with workspaces directly there's still Gdrive.
 https://github.com/GoogleChrome/devtools-docs/issues/121 - agreed.
chrome extension API for refreshing the page - Stack Overflow - Not what I'm looking for, but important to see the different with ducksauce's version.

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer

    I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes. Working Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh! .no-animate { transition-duration: 0.0125s; } Research Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing. Another way which I've seen Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
