Because I didn't have enough things on my hands, I've decided to once again try to undertake a full-out sheissetagzunfixen project on my livejournal. Progress is...well...slow. I've got about the first dozen or so entries properly tagged --only 1420 (or so) to go!

Simultaneously, because I can never have just *one* distracting global thing to be working on on my computer (apparently) is that I've been playing with this loverly new spaces concept that came with leopard. I started with four, and am currently hovering at six, debating going up to eight or nine. It's the loverly concept of being able to have as many little projects going on as I'd like, with a whole separate desktop to devote to each!

(My current arrangement is two rows, three columns --itunes is in number three (top right corner), ical in number six (bottom right corner) Adium and other chat is in two (top middle) and interwobs is in one (top left corner). Tentatively, I've got five for projects, and four for...well, anything else.)

Of course, adding more spaces would make navigation from space to space more difficult. Moreso, I can only cleanly hit ^1-^4 with one hand, which makes other spaces just a step more difficult.

...I swear I'm not actually a computer nerd¹. I just act like one sometimes.

THIS ENTRY IS BORING

THEREFORE, DINOSAURS!

MOOP!

1: This is true. I am not near computersaavy enough to be a computer nerd. I smile and nod with the best of 'em, and I can poke my way around my nice userfriendly mac without too much trouble, but it's all a farce.

meh. I hate spaces. I had to disable it.

You can use Command and the arrow keys to switch between them. Makes things nice and easy.

Can't, unfortunately --command arrow is totally for swapping windows in Safari and Adium, to an alarmingly habit-forming extent.

Huh -- command-backtick is the default for swapping windows. Or did you mean tabs? In Safari, the default seems to be command-shift-bracket, and in Adium, while command-arrow works, so does command-(number) (for going to a specific tab).

Regardless, I have Spaces set to use control-arrow for moving between them in sequence.

Bah. You're as much of a computer nerd as you're interested in being. Which is tautalogical for smart people with the right kind of mindset, of course.

I use a virtual desktop (under linux) with nine distinct desktops, myself -- it means I can map the numpad to teleport me to distinct desktops, and lets me do a nice separation of personal and work desktops (the top three are always personal; the bottom three are always work; the middle three swing a bit).

Yayayay, dinosaurs!
