Block Facebook Sidebar update!

So I was completely annoyed by the new update by Facebook.  Below you will find the steps I took to block the bar. This is my solution for Chrome but it should work for other browsers.

So in the slew of new features Facebook has thrown out (coincidentally at the same time as google plus goes public) Facebook has added this new "super stalker feed" with this feature you can see up to the second information on EVERY action your friends do / publish. To rid yourself of this nuisance you should do  the following...

1. Add an extension to Chrome called Stylish. (This allows you to add your own code to a website like greasemonkey)

2. Next you are going to want to look for the code to modify in facebook. The cool thing about Chrome is that it allows you to inspect elements on a page and it shows you exactly where you are on a page. After much looking (not really) I found this.

div.tickerActivityStories This element displays the sidebar. Now add your own css and BOOM!

                                  div.tickerActivityStories {
                                  display: none;
                                  }


3. Save and Refresh

Let me know how it goes. Enjoy!

For the Longest Time

I have been neglecting my writing for a while now. No excuses, just haven't been on my list of things to do.
But I have some free time and feeling pretty good about myself so I shall write some.
Just finished one of the easiest tests in my life. World Food and Fiber. Class is a joke. But better than that though was the coffee I had this morning with the new woman in my life. She's from Chico and is a senior like me which is good because its a lot easier to relate to someone like yourself. I too am about to graduate in May. Woot! I seriously can't wait. I am on the pursuit of a career with a company that will take me places. Also currently listening to a little Rock and Roll, right now Eric Clapton, Let it Rain, at the moment, and before that was Billy Joel.

Well this will be a busy week for me. I have one more paper to finish, a career fair, meet recruiters and land a interview and sell myself. Things are looking up. If I stay afloat on things I think I'll be just fine. I will definitely keep you informed. Stay positive friends.
