Whoo yeah I’m excited!
About two months ago I got a new Apple Macbook Pro. I love it, it’s rad, I love using it etc. But something that’s been bugging me no end is that I don’t know the shortcut key to jump to the address bar (where you type http://…etc) in Firefox. In [...]
Let’s see if I can blog this by email before my computer restarts automatically.
After you install some Windows Updates, Windows earnestly insists that you have to restart your computer as a matter of urgency. Apparently urgently enough to popup a dialog box that takes the focus from any other windows you may have open [...]
Ask any red blooded Aussie and he’ll tell you. Poms are wankers. It looks like they’re finally coming to grips with themselves (hah) and celebrating their national pastime with a week long masturbate-a-thon, to be televised on Channel 4, whatever that is. Australians don’t even bother with channels below 7, except for [...]
Christian inspired me with his That’s Gold emoticon that he created for MSN to post up one of my own MSN experiences. It actually is also related to something being “gold” but I went for something a bit more generic and literal.
I’ve made a bunch of stupid, useless MSN emoticons to amuse myself [...]
I started using Windows Live Messenger in the last few days, and I like it. At first I was disdainful of people I saw upgrading just because it was a shiny new version and they just want to have the latest thing. But then I found out about two new features it has, [...]
Ever been using Windows and you stop to think for a minute resting your finger on Shift, then the computer makes a weird squeaking sound and then it says some crap about StickyKeys and you can’t type in lowercase anymore? Or use the numbers in the top row along your keyboard? Mm, yes [...]
Computers in real life are such a let-down. There’s no firearm-to-the-head augmented fellatio like in Swordfish, and there’s no animated 3D wireframe cities like in Hackers. If you’re looking at your digicam happy snaps you can’t just say “enhance” in the general direction of the computer to zoom in and identify the DNA [...]
As I discovered earlier today, if you accidentally leave your Google account signed in on another computer, anything that is searched for on that computer using Google will be recorded in your Google account’s Personalized Search Search History.
But what if you didn’t just leave your account signed in accidentally, but actually managed to remotely log [...]
Here’s a good example of why the “if you’re not doing anything wrong, why worry?” argument against privacy invasion is useless and misguided. Just because you aren’t doing anything illegal, does that mean you want your family to be able to see what you’ve been searching for without you realising? Of course not — [...]
Code names…how stupid! Or so I used to think. Naming servers fun names like Greek gods (ergh, ok that’s not really fun it’s just tired) or food (spaghetti, noodle, wasabi) seemed like good fun but not that useful. I didn’t really understand what project codenames (like Whistler, Yukon and Whidbey for Microsoft software releases) were [...]
