MOOP!

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!

Souhm, yeah. Sorcy = helladork.

No, seriously, I am geeking out about how cool it is to be able to do the whole computer thing just with my keyboard and not have to use my mouse at all, what is wrong with me, damnit, damnit!

Because, I mean, it was cool enough when I finally started seriously using apple-tab to switch programs. "Oh, I am typing a livejournal entry but Keira just said something I want to reply to in IM? No problem!" But just now, I learned that I can open chats with people in Adium without using my mouse at all -- apple-/ to open the contacts list, arrows to navigate the list, enter to open a new chat with a new person. Holyshit, so easy.

Soyeah. Now all I *really* need is an easier way to swap from tab to tab in Safari (c'mon Apple, shift-alt-twiddle-arrow? what the hell is *wrong* with you, that's four keys! Get it down to two, bitte.) and I will be a happyKat.

(Or, I mean, I could start using Firefox. Which I probably should do anyways, as it's got a handful of better features that I'm too lazy to go hunting for in Safari --ability to have multiple search boxes, for instance, and not just google.)

Alsoalso, I apparently need to learn Dvorak, so I can train myself to stop hitting twiddle-Q instead of twiddle-W. Computers are weird.

....

Yeah, that's all. Go play The World's Hardest Game, which I'm sure *isn't*, but is tricky enough to be annoying and addictive and I'm stuck SO BAD on level ten, but I'm getting better, and I've only died eighty times on this level. Hate.
