I decided to post this. Telling everyone that I’m saddened by this event and that such things do happen. And it’s a great loss. Umm, I can’t really say anything with events like these. So, I’m praying for all of you out there that have been hurt, either physically or emotionally, by this event.

Ubuntu.

Dim — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 22:18:01 +0000

Jost got my 10 CD’s. Don’t know why I ordered ten. But I think I’ll just give them out to people. And umm, I’ve never used Ubuntu before. So if anyone has any advice, please, do tell. And I got 1-64 bit CD, just in case. Ooh, they also put in a bunch of stickers.

Oh and, it’s something I lerned, that’s worth posting about. The saying is true. But it’s not always that interesting.

Strange phobias.

Dim — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 06:01:49 +0000

Wow. Rough day today. Our Church had spring cleaning today. I’m exhausted. So I can’t really tell you guys anything. Because I’m starting to feel dizzy… But I’ll do the you learn something new everyday thing.

Today I learned(Day #2; March 30, 2007): Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. I know. Right? Learned from the trivia channel in irc.opera.com

And I forgot to mention something with yesterday’s post. The thing I learned was from the guys in Opera’s weekly channel. Thanks guys!

You learn something new everyday.

Dim — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:35:47 +0000

Everyone’s heard the saying, but is it true? I think I’m going to try it. Every single day. When I learn something new, I’m going to sit down and post it. Here. Or on Twitter if I won’t be home. There are some exceptions. So I’ll make sure to make up for the days I miss.

Today I learned(Day #1; March 29, 2007): How to remap keyboard shortcuts in Opera. It’s easy. Tools>Preferences>Advanced>Shortcuts and from there you could change the mouse gestures or the keyboard shortcuts just by editing one of the two. I used this to change the Speed Dial shortcuts. I talked about it here

Oh and I changed something else from now on. Noticed it?

Boot Camp updated to 1.2

Dim — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 21:38:51 +0000

Basically Apple updated Boot Camp. And since everyone thinks the only reason for Leopard not coming out was Apple waiting for Boot Camp to support Vista… Then there is no further reason to delay Leopard! This is the time I’ve been waiting for… Actually I was waiting for Apple to release a new MB or MBP and waiting for them to release Leopard until I will buy my first Mac. And since Leopard will probably be released soon, then maybe Apple will release a new laptop. And yay for me!

Another suggestion.

Dim — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 18:00:56 +0000

I have another suggestion for Opera 9.2b. Order the Speed Dial so that 1, 2, and 3 are at the bottom. And 7, 8, and 9 are at the top. That way it matches with the keypad. Because I keep pressing Ctrl + 9 to go to my Ctrl + 3.

Opera 9.2 Beta

Dim — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:28:30 +0000

Most of you know I’m an Opera user. For those of you that didn’t. I am. Anyways, Opera released a beta 9.2 today. I got it as soon as I found out about it. (via Opera Watch) The Speed Dial feature is really good. I just put in digg, flickr, my gmail, and other stuff like that into it. It’s really good. And when I open a new tab I see where I need to go because sometimes I get distracted and forget what I was going to do. The only thing I want them to add now is pressing Ctrl+ Shift+ # to make one of the Speed Dials to open in a new tab. Because if I want to quickly open the three sites I need I don’t want to keep pressing Ctrl+ T and then Ctrl+ # and then Ctrl+ T again. You know what I mean?

Get 9.20b here. Or the latest version of Opera, that is stable and not in beta, here.

Helio Ocean Gallery

Dim — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:23:01 +0000

The Ocean from Helio. Gallery. Looks good IMO. I actually want one. Real bad. I have a contract with Cingular right now though. I love Helio’s plan too. I don’t know about how good the reception is and such. And I don’t really want to leave Cingular, because of the iPhone.

Well I’m in. No one I knew has ever tried it. If they have, they didn’t have any invites. So I signed up the usual way. And I just got a letter from them today telling me that I’m in. I’m installing it right now.

First thoughts:

Installed. Entered password. The preview video was pretty good. I don’t like Greenday. Cars. I have to find what channel that’s on. The interface is pleasing. It’s widescreen. That’s good.

I’m going to be reviewing it. So check back. Sign up to the feed if you like. If you want an invite leave a comment with your e-mail, or maybe just some sort of IM. So then no one spams you.

Off to watch some cars.
