To see posts by date, check out the archives Keyboard shortcuts are the ish nizzle, they speed up your computing, they simplify navigation, they’re old school. If you can’t navigate your filesystem/computer without touching your mouse, then you aren’t as cool as me, and that’s the straight dope. I’m writing this because I saw an article today on the lifehacker website about mastering the windows key. All the article really was was this video. Actually, the video was kind of inaccurate. Sure, it’s true that you use Windows Key+Pause/Break key to bring up System Properties, but what if you don’t have a combo pause/break key? Well, if you’re using XP you use WINDOWS_KEY+Pause and if you’re using windows vista you use WINDOWS_KEY+break. I recovered this article from my old blog via the Internet Archive.

that I loves me some WiFi. I'm constantly setting up an encryption key on my
router without looking to see if I can crack it, I enjoy building little
antennas or cantennas to see how far down the street I can get before I lose my
signal, basically I'm a geek with a penchant for WiFi. As such, I really want
this, what this is is a solar-powered WiFi kit. It's built for the outdoors and
is supposed to increase wireless connectivity range about 700 feet (which means
I could probably hop on Watermark Books' connection down the street). Plus it's
solar powered so no need for any extra wiring and it's saving the enviroment
(score one for the dolphins, I guess). So if you want to wire me some cash or
just send one of these bad boys straight to me, then feel free. As a side note
I'm also a huge fan of the wireless products over at Pasadena Networks. Link (via Thoughts From the Sidelines) I recovered this article from my old blog via the Internet Archive. If you found this article useful or entertaining (or even if you didn’t) consider donating to the Internet Archive
Another thing about keyboard shortcuts is that you can make a keyboard shortcut for any program (or shortcut to a program) on your desktop by: (1) Right-clicking the icon (2) Clicking properties (3) clicking inside the shortcut input field and (4) pressing the key that you want to use in conjunction with Ctrl and Alt for your shortcut (i.e. if I were to click in the shortcut input box and press, “f” the shortcut to bring up the program would be “Ctrl+Alt+f”).
