Chit-Chat: Supporter Hangout Daily Chit-Chat

May go out for coffee soon :>
 
Made myself breakfast today, and the hospital has a timmies so i may walk there
 
Had my graduation paper yesterday and it said I aced English... how
 
I just can't get even relatively interested in English unless it's writing. I'll write an essay fine but grammar and stuff just bores me.
 
A couple years ago I played around with animated png files. They're kinda like animated gifs but with more color depth and better transparency. The only problem back then was that Google Chrome didn't support it. So while it was nice seeing those animations on, say, Firefox, the majority of people who were using Chrome didn't get to see that stuff.

However, I just randomly checked and realized that it finally has built-in support for png animations. The good thing: finally I can ditch gifs. The negative: animated png creation isn't quite streamlined and while I don't mind putting in some work to create one myself, I don't really have any way I'd recommend to you if anyone of you ever wanted to try them out, yourself.
 
APNGs are annoying ugh. I was trying to write an app and wasn't sure why animated avatars weren't showing up. After doing some digging, I found out the library I was using for images didn't support the APNG format.
 
Hows it going Elaine?
My dad would kill me if I ate his chocolate, when I lived at home and I snuck just ONE of his ice cream bites, he would know
 
I stress ate a whole box of Cheez-Its last night. Not sure if it counts. My wisdom teeth didn't like that very much.
 
Wouldn't they be a bigger file size too ?
Marginally, if anything. Still nothing compared to all the JavaScript and stuff that people put on their websites just to make them look more flashy.

Edit:
Tested around converting some gifs into animated pngs. Turns out the filesize was actually only about half of what the original gif variant was.
