"I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth."

I have SEEN the light: keyboard shortcuts


[info]skuf
I'm not talking about using keyboard shortcuts to copy/paste, print, rename folders/files, and all that. I'm talking about using keyboard shortcuts to open often-used folders and files. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? It's only the most brilliant thing EVER!!

Like, most of this post was composed in a specific plain-text document, which I can open from anywhere by hitting Alt+P. The minute I think of something I'd like to post on, I don't have to go online and find my draft post at DW, or open some program, be it an LJ/etc. client or gedit (Ubuntu/Linux version of Notepad). I can just hit Alt+P, type out my thoughts, hit Ctrl+S to save and Alt+F4 to close. My fingers never have to leave the keyboard!

It can also be used for sneaksy things, like hiding folders you don't want people to trip over (like e.g. I hide my fandom folder). But in the olden days, hiding folders also meant more time spent finding them, yourself. Now I can open my fandom folder by the mere hitting of two keyboard keys. Have I mentioned how brilliant this is??

Ubuntu how-to, can doubtlessly be tailored to work in your OS )

my name is rayna, i'm 17, a senior in high school, and live in rhode island. i decided to start a new journal just because i thought it would be fun to look back on this year come springtime! i am currently in search of colleges so this may be a space to rant, but other than that, i usually to update pretty regularly about completely random things that are going on, usually with pictures because i tend to carry my camera wherever i go. i love reading and commenting and can normally find common ground with anyone, so don't be afraid to add!

I have a few pictures from Halloween and a few at the end that aren't to show you.

Behind a cut for her pleasure! )

Today we flea bomb/fog the house. *sigh* Fortunately, we got a type that has what's called a "dry fog", meaning that we don't need to turn off the pilot light or unplug the refrigerator. 'Coz that would be a bitchkitty. (And, YES, we read the instructions on the canister, just to be on the safe side.) We are, however, going to turn off the smoke alarm because THAT would be irritating to hear for 3 hours. We'll also have some massive sweeping, Swiffer-ing and washing of clothes/sheets after we get back. Should be fun. NOT! *sigh*

Goddess, let this kill the fuggin' fleas! I know we're all tired of being bitten, especially our lil' puppyhead Tasha! I know as a Wiccan that I'm not supposed to wish death on any living creature, but the fleas are testing my faith MASSIVELY!!! O_O

Silver Water Gel

Okay, so I don't usually recommend products. But I have personally been through two bottles of this stuff, the third is being shipped to me this week. It works for just about everything. From my experience(YMMV) it works on sunburn, windburn, razor burn, beard burn(LOL), rug burn, chapped skin, diaper rash, regular burns, rashes of all kinds, cuts, blisters, chicken pox itchy, pimples, sore cuticles, ingrown toe nails, blisters... Just about any kind of irritation or inflammation. It takes the soreness out of the cuts I get from kitchen knives. That enough? Heh.

You know how kids are. My grand daughter got bit by some bug or other, I'm not sure what jind because I didn't see it and she couldn't describe it very well. I slathered some of this on and it took the sting and itch right away. The screaming and scratching stopped. LOL. I get burns all the time on the stove, and coffee pot. I'm clumsy. I slather a bit of this gel on, with a tad of pure aloe vera, and no problem, pain and swelling is gone. It doesn't do much for sore joints, I use emu oil for that, or DMSO, but for everything else, well except callouses, LOL. It works fantastically well. No redness, swelling or infection.

I don't get any money from anyone. I don't know anyone in the company. I get no reimbursement of any kind, no free product or money. And I don't sell it.

Just passing the word on a great product, AND it's the most reasonably priced I could find anywhere.

I thought maybe I had mentioned it before, but someone reminded me that it was emu oil I was rhapsodizing about.

I've never used this on a deep puncture wound, and I wouldn't advise ignoring medical care and using just this stuff. Deep puncture wounds are something a little more serious than surface injuries.

[info]octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!

[info]gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>

[info]vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown.

And,

Please feel free to join [info]commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker.

It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.

I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP.

I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.

Wow, OK, hi. This week can go screw itself over on a pointy stick. Like, really. Wow. I've been back from the beach since Sunday morning and have done nothing but work since Tuesday. And that's because I had a holiday on Monday or else it'd have been non-stop work since Monday. And I literally mean non-stop, because I was even working in my sleep. What little sleep I managed to get anyway.

Anyway, Sunday I took to catch up on all the TV I missed over the week and then Monday I started on my skip-300 flisting spree and managed to get it down to skip=75. Then, I basically... wasn't online pretty much all this week because of all the overtime and all the bringing work home with me and the stormy weather and the power going out and, oh lookit, my flist is back up to skip=200 *flails*

Speaking of TV, on the way back home (after another hour of overtime at work, oh joy) I watched this week's SYTYCD which my sister downloaded for me because she's a sweetheart when she wants to be and she felt sorry for me heh Spoilers for SYTYCD 12 here )

Still haven't watched this week's SPN or Vamp Diaries. There was no new Glee this week and I don't think White Collar has even aired yet? If it has, the download isn't available yet anyway. Speaking of White Collar, let's talk about it up to last week, yeah? Cut for White Collar spoilers )

Tomorrow I get my hair cut YAY! Not that I'll do any drastic changes to it or anything but it's gotten to the point where it just won't behave *sighs*

It's the weekend, peoplez! \o/\o/\o/

What on earth, LJ?


[info]kyrielle
[info - livejournal.com] news has become a random splat of happenings on the site and sponsor ad placements, in addition to minimal site news, instead of focussing on site news.

Enh.

But the latest one? Seriously, what were you thinking, LJ? Titling the bit about your war on spambots as "The empire strikes back"...uh, you do realize which side was supposed to be the good guys there, right?

And blocking 30,000 accounts in a single day for being spam bots doesn't give me warm fuzzies. It tells me that you're frantically smacking things down, too fast for me to know whether I trust that you're identifying only spam bots, and if you are identifying only spam bots then boy have you got a problem of epic proportions. Which, no, the fact that you knocked them back out doesn't make me happy they got in, nor impressed.

But really. The empire strikes back?

EKP IS BACK


[info]lilithilien
After a week and a half of pulling our hair out and shaking angry fists towards Luxembourg, we finally got back to what we should've been doing all along -- promoting this bloody Show! Yes, free publicity, RTL, why do you make this so hard?

The situation's not ideal by any means. Instead of capturing clips directly from the video stream like we used to, now we're stuck spending literally hours on screencaptures. It's totally draining -- the RTL player is, quite frankly, crap. Everytime it stalls, I have to rebuffer and restart the recording. On about a third of the files the soundtrack comes out wonky. And even at its best, the quality is jerky because it is, after all, a string of screencaps. THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE REUNION!

Still! We posted episode* and we're getting comments again (they are like a drug, I tell you!) and I'm going to sit here and drink wine and spam like whoa. And if I have enough wine, I just might make a defiant "you can't take the Show sky from me" vid.

Hope you're all ready for an awesome weekend!


* This episode was nabbed before we left for Germany; it's not representative of the new stuff we're getting. You'll know what I mean when you see those in a few days. Boy, will you know what I mean.

wth lyrics?


[info]the_willow
It's is a very bad idea to listen to lyrics.

Dear Mary J Blige

What does a man buying a woman material things have to do with her falling in love with him and him treating her like a woman? Since when were love, identity, and sexuality for sale? Since when could they be bought with shoes and a bag?

Also wth is up "Now I only want to do what you tell me to." Like? What the hell? Who owns your sexuality here? Or is this more about a woman's place? Huh?

**feels ridiculous for having the music for going on 2 years now and only just having the lyrics pop out**

Ok. I'm gong to bed. I must have my head screwed on wrong. Cause I'm all "Shake down, I'm robbing you for your love, don't put up a fight." Just keeps making me go WHAT THE BLEEPING F*CK??.

So clearly it is not that the world is filled with messed up messages about human interaction and just that my brain's wired weird and somehow sleep will fix that. Or maybe just closing my eyes and being horizontal.

It's magic.

Oh hell. I never should have tried it. And now I want what I can't have at the moment. I joined chemistry.com. I feel that I'm ready to meet someone now.

Before I got sick, I was still runnin from from relationships. But while I was sick, I was scared. Very, very scared. I was continuously sick and I had no idea why. And with the swine flu running rampant, I had a reason to be. At least ten peple have died in a hundred mile radious of me of the swine flu. When I fnally went to the ER, that was the first thing they checked for. And I was grateful for that. It put me at ease. Though finding out that I got pneumonia from a 2yo wasn't the best news either. lol.

So back to the subject at hand... I joined and got a few matches. No, no, hell no, and no, is what I kept saying. Some were possibilities. And then there was one that stood out. Whom I really want to meet. I move to click the "definately" button and suddenly remembered that this was a pay site. And at the moment, I just can't afford to suscribe to it. At least not till after Christmas. Crap. Such is my life...

∴ I got a new adapter for my laptop, but have been busy this week doing a new work practice and battling another crappy cold.

I bet I have missed stuff, and I invite you to nudge me!

∴ I did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. It runs ok fine, but it doesn't seem noticeably faster than 9.04, the way 9.04/ext4 was noticeably faster than 8.10/ext3.
