So, because I both like being stalked and like stalking people, I joined Gather[ETA 2022: dead link], which appears to almost be a cross between a blog and a forum. Anyone else out there who I should go friend thereabouts?

Liam! gets cookies for telling me how to change shortcuts on my mac. Twiddle-arrow is a *much* quicker way to parse through tabs in Safari, thanks. (Though I'm actually going to change it shortly, as I realize that it doesn't work when I'm in a textbox --the arrows just function as arrows in the box. This is useless. Ideal would be twiddle , and . I think, except that twiddle-, is for opening sysprefs. Damnit! Ah well, I know what to do now, I can experiment until my baby works like I want her to.)

Next question is figuring out a way to unminimize windows without using the mouse. Maybe I should just switch to hiding windows instead of minimizing them...no, no good, that hides all the windows in a program, not just the active one. Hmm. A quest!!

(Hey, we'll start taking bets now --who wants to bet that, by the end of the summer, Sorcy will have started learning how to code things. Damnit, I am not a computer geek. *sighs*)

.....did I seriously just somehow hit twiddle-w (close tab) instead of twiddle-tab (go to next program)? What the fuck?! That just doesn't make sense.

My mommy's coming up to town in a couple weekends! Unfortunately, said weekend is the weekend before the weekend of the show. *crosses fingers for being able to hang out with people, and introduce her to Lauren and Emily, damnit!*

There's also 19th century dance going on that weekend, which makes my heart kinda go "!, want!" though I suspect I've got a nil chance of making it *that* time. (Reoccuring dance events are win and love, yep.) Though I could always drag the 'rents to it with me...(if I'm not in rehersal. :p)

Ah-HA! Ha ha ha! BRILLIANCE!

Man, keyboard hacking my computer is my new obsession. I'm sure I'll get over it within a week, but while I'm doing it, it's awesomely fun. (Finally figured out how to fix one of those little things that's been bothering me since I got Seren --the fact that twiddle-M on a mac will not turn itunes into the miniplayer (zoom view), it'll minimize it. Miniplayer now has a shortcut, and YAY!)

(Damn, I'm a dork.)

Uhm, yeah. Life is school, rehersal, and occasionally hanging out with people. Last night I went over to Jere7my's to watch some MST3K movie (Attack of the Gila Monster? Something of the Gila Monster, certainly) which just furthered the huge crush I am developing on Joel. I need to hang out with Dan4th sometime, since I haven't seen him since before break. Same with Dominik.

Yeah. The world is quiet here and all.

P.S: I'm writing things again. *bouncebouncebounce!* I don't care if it's complete shit, I'm *writing!* This is what the Sorcy is supposedly best at. <3

MOOP!

Okay this has been bothering me since yesterday. What's "twiddle?" I must know! Speak proper computer-ese!

Coding things isn't terribly hard. Start with HTML/CSS, those are relatively simple and useful and go together nicely.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Twiddle is the apple key. I would say ctrl, except there's a separate ctrl key.

Fah on proper computer-ese. :P

It's called the Command key, or Cmd for short. Or just call it the apple key, I can live with that. Twiddle is confusing and makes me think of the ~ key.

[dan4th (from livejournal.com)]

Thankee- yeah. It's Cmd.

Things I've seen next-tab/previous-tab bound to on other systems:

(C = Control, S = Shift, M = Meta (usually located where Command is on a Mac and Alt is on a Windows box))

<C-Tab>/<S-C-Tab>
<C-N>/<C-P>
<g><t>/<g><T> (Vimperator FTW)

[jere7my.livejournal.com]

It's the open-apple key, but only if you're old.

"There's also 19th century dance going on that weekend"

I feel the need to reiterate that this event is not yet confirmed, hence my not having posted anything to advertise it yet. I feel the odds of it going through are fairly good, but...

Other ways to stalk and be stalked :

Spock.com is my current favorite.

Spokeo is creepy, but it emails people to let them know someone stalked them, so that makes it maybe less creepy. I'm *not* okay with the fact that it does this without informing the stalker.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, command. I knew it had a proper name, too.

I grew up with mum referring to it as the twiddle key.

~Sor

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I will keep that in mind.

You forget though, I'm a terminal optimist. Of *course* it's happening. If it doesn't happen, there would've been no way for me to go anyways.
