firefox - I'll put twins in you.

ctrl + 8 is 8th tab.

ctrl + 9 is the LAST tab.

So if you have 41 tabs open, tabs 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 41 are accessible with the "ctrl + #" shortcut.

It is hard to out-fox the fox.

firefox - I'd like to put a baby in you.

Amongst many cool features, this one is brand new to me:

Did you know? Even if you did, forgive me, but appreciate my excitement (and realize this is my blog, so I can do what I wish, as if I was a Briton):

ctrl + 1


in firefox brings the 1st tab up from any tab that you were on.

ctrl + 2

the 2nd tab,

etc.

I always have GMAIL in my 1st tab but until this morning would just "cycle" through tabs with ctrl+tab or ctrl+shift+tab.

No longer!

God Bless Italy.

"But Starbucks' throwback logo is fodder for the bloggers: They're poking fun at Schultz's accommodation of conservative coffee drinkers. In the original logo, the twin-tailed Greek mermaid showed her navel and bare breasts. In 2006, when the logo was originally revived, the chain received complaints about the "decency" of the logo and, despite the chairman's well-known liberal politics, the lady grew long hair to cover her indecency. That's the version we have today. Italians would never have given in—or complained in the first place."

From here.

How to change text box font in Adobe Acrobat Professional

In the spirit of an earlier post (like anyone reads this shizz anyway), I have found something that has changed my life with respect to going digital. I have been making notes on the electronic versions of course lecture notes. Using the hotkeys, you can make text boxes by just hitting "x" or pull out boxes by just hitting "p". However, the text was huge and was frustrating because it was not monospace, so sentences did not seem to line up well which pissed me off. Right off.

So, here's how to adjust the text size and get it monospace:

however I can sum this answer up in a few words.

1) Go to Edit
2) select preferences (at bottom)
3) the go to general
4) then pick "use single key accelerators"

5) after all that (I am not sure if its required) you would highlight the text you want to change and press ctrl + e and you should get the text box properties tool bar to pop up and allow you to change the font.

6) After highlighting text, changing it to desired size, change to "Courier - New". This is monospace (like my dreams, which are monospace but the sound is in stereo).

7) Hit ctrl - s to save the document and remove the focus from the text box.

8) Right click the text box and select "make default". Now you're good to go! You have to do this for textbox and pullout boxes separately.

Need list

I hope they can implement this into a cellphone someday, and then maybe I'll get to class on time...

Although, I am really good at math when groggy. I need it to be SAT Verbal questions.

Or a picture of my mom, naked, with the yes/no question being: "Will you ever forget this?"

Please feel my cans.

Apparently the formula for Dr. Pepper is not old, so is its education.

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just hurt fillings from time-to-time and try to feel the void that is empty inside of me.

Yeah, I'm a taunter.

Dr. Pepper - sugar-energy for the wary, weary WWII woman worker.

Moustaches Redux

My friend made a gross out chart.

I feel the bushiness of my eyebrows and moustache were equivalent.

I put me at a nine.

Which is one short of the grossest.

going digital

In honor of the honorable, I am trying to go digital.

And to do so, I'd like to eliminate white backgrounds and black font, to reduce the eye strain.

I found how to do so for PDFs at Yahoo! Answers

MySpace is dying.

Praise Jesus!

Now if only FaceBook would follow suit and just die.

Recognition that's not mine.

If you know what FMHS stands for, then you'll recognize two faces on this page:

However, only one of them has been inside FMHS.

My mother lied to me. She didn't "s#(t the sheets" in 1981- she crapped out my twin.

Moustache Round up

So, I shaved the beard, and to see how it would fare, sported a moustache for the last few days. The following has been my burden:

1) Being confused with a Chicago cop.
2) Being called "Lester the Molester."
3) Being called "Li'l Dave" (a crack by my father relating me to Li'l Bush and my uncle Dave)
4) Having it called a "molestache"
5) My niece punching me in the nuts.
6) Being confused with "the guy from There Will Be Blood."
7) Being confused with "the guy from No Country for Old Men."
8) Being confused with "the guy from Charlie Wilson's War."
9) Being confused with "the guy from The Ford Commercial" (Formula One Frank)
10) Being confused with my father, circa 1986.

My hydration plan

Over Christmas break, I want to get super hydrated. I used to be the king of hydration, lugging a gallon jug of water all over Hippie University's campus.

Now, it is nothing but Coke Zero and Cafe Americanos.

But, alas, the @$$holes at Gatorade don't think I'm an athlete.

225 lbs?

I'll get Big Baby on their case. Or Ogden.

Don't worry, Zip. I gotcha something this year.

She grew up tall, and she grew up right, with them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights.
