That's totally cool. I'll be in my backyard talking to myself, but glad to know peeps are digging it.

In Montréal,
At work, I'll have 30 seconds of darkness.
I might leave early and go to the old port to have a little bit more darkness.

Sadly I'm just that bit too far East to be able to see the remnants that will be visible in Western UK. Basically, Cornwall, Devon, Wales and the West coast up into Scotland will (possibly) see a partial just before sunset, everybody else, tough luck.

We'll have 94% coverage where I am, round lunchtime for me, I'll take a look. Most of my friends have travelled.

Noice, I'm in the path of totality but looks like there will be cloud cover. Hope it's an awesome view for you.

It was excellent! Especially since I didn't have to travel to see it.
It's the third eclipse I've seen but the first totality. I just wish I had borrowed, bought or rented a better camera. My phone was able to record the event but the professional pictures are much better...except they do not have my family or my house in them.
I set up a video camera pointing at the sky through some trees, keeping the sun close but out of view. I thought I would capture the whole 2 hour process then play it back speeded up. Unfortunately, the camera shut itself off when the totality occurred. That corrupted the file so I wound up with nothing.
I'll be better equipped for the next one. Expect me in Calgary on August 22, 2044.

I've got a neat little project in the works.
It catalogs media and provides an HTML5/CSS3 interface to your media with a series of index.html files it dumps in your media folders.
The problem is CSS and HTML. What the hell happened? If it was confusing before, it's inexplicable now.
I like HTML5 for the most part. The trouble is CSS3. Oh wow. It can do so much, but describing what you want is like pulling your own teeth. It's awful. Who designed this mess? It's time for a rewrite.
Maybe I'm just bad at it, but it's stalling my whole project trying to get simple pages to work with many devices, and lay out accordingly.
Plus I need to pack a bunch of content into a tab-like interface and I really don't want to use JS for this. I figured out a way using radio buttons and display: none
I really wish I had somebody who was a CSS whiz I could work with on this. Meh.

I'm a fan of W3.CSS[^] .
It does two main things:
1. normalizes away a lot of the browser-specific quirks (but not all - I'm looking at you, Safari).
2. provides a bunch of ready make "legos" to lay your page out.
Makes it easy to build responsive pages that are usable on just about any size and shape of screen.

Thanks. I gave up on JS free web pages, and adopted this stylesheet and it got me a lot further.

Meh. This is a "not you" thing.

Features such as flexgrids were added to CSS so that web designers did not have to learn Javascript. Unfortunately, so many features have been stuffed into CSS that it has essentially become a (very clunky) programming language and defeated that goal.
I find it easier to do things in Javascript and I avoid it.

Good job finding the checked hack for hiding/showing divs/sections! I loved the challenge of finding ways to avoid js for ui back when that's what we were doing at work, but nowadays we're all about the js and that's a different sort of fun. I'm always happy when doing the creative work of UI.
