Death to Caps Locks!

November 23rd, 2006 by petegraham

FACT The Caps Lock key is officially rubbish who actually uses it? I know I never do.

Here’s a handy little utility that will turn the Caps Lock key into a 3rd “Ctrl” key, this is especially useful if you use the Vim text editor heavily, which I have been for the past few weeks.

While I’m at whats the “Alt Gr” key supposed to be for? I’m pressing it now! I’m pressing it.. I’m hitting the key like a crazy man and it’s doing bugger all! Rubbish!!!

I’m not entirely convinced by the separate numeric keys on the right of the board either but think I’ve probably talked about Keyboards for long enough now people are probably getting worried.

Lost Keys Knightmare!!!

November 23rd, 2006 by petegraham

I had an absolute disaster this morning when I left the house shutting the door behind me only to realise that I had forgot my keys inside. What caused Pete Graham to have this uncharacteristic bout of forgetfulness? Early morning tiredness? Was he concentrating too much on the delicious protein shake he was drinking? Maybe he’d been unknowingly gang probed by aliens the night before.. Your guess is as good as mine.

All my house mates had gone to work, so I did what any self-respecting man would do, I jumped the fence and tried to break in around the back. This was actually quite a feat of agility and strength as its a 7 foot fence and I was wearing very tight jeans and sporting a man-bag long scarf combination at the time. The houses fortress like security prevented me from gaining entry (ooohh errrr missus), but thankfully I managed to get in touch with our Houses Agent who drove over and let me in.

Anyway I believe there are two morals to this story:

  1. Don’t be a wally and check you have your keys before you leave the house
  2. Skin-tight drainpipes are great for looking cool at indie disco’s but not ideal attire for fence jumping and free running, well unless they’ve got a lot of Lycra in them.

Picture: Johny Borrell from Razorlight, probably not very good at climbing fences (not wearing those bad boys anyway).
