Loading Spinners inside Modal - Bootstrap

This solution for both static html and can be setup inside directive for angular 1.X. Just like with some of css3 I created awhile back these spinners ready as soon as the client hits the page hence way there's a static version.  A directive could be made to for dynamic situations like http requests.  This implementation goes inside div or inside another component, while the global spinner closes the children and takes over.   <div style="position:relative;height: 95px"  ng-show="data.length == 0">     <div id="my-modal" class="modal fade in show" style="position: absolute">       <div class="modal-dialog" style="width: 100px;margin-top: 2px;">         <div class="modal-content">           <div class="modal-body">             <div class="spinner"></div>           </div>         </div>       </div>     </div&

Why you might want to use Amp

Currently working on a blogger template that is completely stripped down to bare bones to setup a AMP site. This just a list of reasons why you start using AMP at least for maybe for blogs which I'm more interested. I wouldn't recommend for business sites just yet. Unless you're site is very simple and straight forward or mostly middler-tier based anyway. Pro's Everything in a AMP site is styled directly in the beginning of the site, no external stylesheets (a huge performance boost). Global styling forces developer to think globally about their styles. So the styles run more like a style guide. Styles are limited about the total amount for AMP making developers to do more with less. No inline-styles this is a plus because there is no surprises for other developers jumping in or modifying (look at cons). No inline javascript, where this is the same for inline styling. No external javascript, this is really something you will want to know before getting into AM

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
