I put some pictures from Dave’s camp in the Gallery. Have a look, and if you see something you want, let me know, and I’ll send you the full res version.

One word….DON’T!

OS X must be the only OS that doesn’t use the standard key mapping for the Home and End keys. That’s been one of the toughest things to get used to with the Mac. Instead of moving to the beginning/end of the current line like every other OS out there, on the Mac these keys take you to the top/bottom of the current document. What’s the use of that?

Anyway, with some quick searching, I was able to find a solution for this.

I made the file ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict and added the following to it:

{
    "UF729"  = "moveToBeginningOfLine:";
    "$UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:";

    "UF72B"  = "moveToEndOfLine:";
    "$UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:";

    "UF72C"  = "pageUp:";
    "UF72D"  = "pageDown:";
}

Now everything acts like you’d expect…and it is good.

So it’s nearing the end of my last day shift last week, and it occurs to me that I haven’t accomplished a damned thing in the past 3 days. Then, the inevitable happens. I decide to fuck with someone.

That someone is Pritesh. He’s the guy who works opposite me, so he was coming in that night for his last shift in the rotation. Now, for those of you who don’t know Pritesh, he gets a bit spooked being in this old building all alone at night. And this is where I get my idea.

I’m going to scare the shit out of him…repeatedly.
