Some of you might want to MISC this week’s Stuff.  I’ll have to check my horoscope, but I bet something’s transiting that has me sluggish, tired, cranky and short with people.  Either that, or it was something I ate.  DON’T YOU JUDGE ME! Oh wait, that was me being cranky and short with people again. 

Happy 4th

We had a pretty darn decent Fourth of July.  Georgetown’s San Gabriel Park hosted the SERTOMA Fourth of July Celebration and we had a great time.

I have no idea who “SERTOMA” is other than it’s some creative mashup of “SERvice TO MANkind” but they put on a good show.  Hopefully it’s not, like, “To Serve Man.”

Did anyone else notice some “new” fireworks this year?  I’m talking about the ones that blow up like normal, turn colors like normal, and then fire off secondary pieces like normal… except for these new ones, the secondary pieces seem alive?  These secondary pieces look like tadpoles avoiding a predator, and it was COOL.

Here’s a 3min video of the Guinness Book of World Records Largest Fireworks show.

Caitlin turned 14

Yup, it’s my daughter’s second anniversary at being a teenager.  Smith and Wesson’s stock went up solely on this news alone.

Interesting Shortcut found on accident

Just now, I accidentally hit CTRL-ALT-LEFT ARROW on my keyboard.  All of a sudden, my entire desktop rotated 90 degrees.  At first I thought “WHOA, Not again! the World has tilted!” but then I realized it was just my laptop screen.  The fact that my drink didn’t spill was the first clue.

It took me a few tries, but then learned CTRL-ALT-UP ARROW fixed it to be normal portrait orientation.

Looks like this is a Vista thing vs a Video Driver thing.  I’m always thrilled to hear about more keyboard shortcuts.

SharePoint 2007 upgrade

Tonight we’re doing our upgrade from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint (MOSS) 2007.  It’s a project many weeks in the making and I’m hoping it goes well.  For those of you who don’t know what MOSS is - it’s Microsoft’s Intranet platform.  It’s like a blog, wiki, online spreadsheet, collaboration headquarters and search engine for your company.  SharePoint 2003 was cool but 2007 is way cooler.

Some of the NEW features we’re most looking forward to are:

• Recycle Bin
• Workflow abilities
• Per-item security settings

Best of LOLcats

“At first I thought ‘WHOA, Not again! the World has tilted!’ but then I realized it was just my laptop screen. The fact that my drink didn’t spill was the first clue.” - Not again? You’re such a dork.

I loved the second lolcats. I wish I had a luck dragon.

Dragons last blog post..Dragon’s Lemon Blueberry Cake

So at what age is it appropriate for me to make inappropriate and offensively lewd comments about your daughter?

Avitables last blog post..Ready for Monday

Nice fireworks show. Daughter turning 14. Been there, done that (mine turns 17 in late September). It’s not bad, so long as it’s considered “cool to still hang out with your dad.”

And the braille cat made me laugh… not out loud, but it was a laugh. So does that make it an “Lcat” pic?

LOL cats ruins perfectly cute and funny pictures.

And don’t forget that Budweiser’s stock, too, goes up at that news. Crazy teenage revelers….not Caitlin though of course! I just tried the ctrl-alt- shortcut on XP and it works as well. Who woulda known!?! Thx for the interesting shortcut, I’ll have to put a sidelong photo as my background just so I can rotate it and make use of it.

Oh, weird! You’re right! I just tried the CTRL + ALT + left arrow thing and it tilted my screen view the same way!
CTRL + ALT + right arrow makes it sideways the opposite direction, and CTRL + ALT + down arrow makes it upside down.
Weird!!!!
It can’t be just a Vista thing; I have Windows XP…
Other than the usual cut/copy/paste thing (CTRL x/c/v), I guess the shortcut I use most often is F5 to refresh the page.
Oh, and CTRL-S to save whatever I’m working on.
The usual stuff.

“Hez a luck dragonz”???
I don’t get it.
(*sob* I can’t believe I’ve spent the past 20 minutes or so actually staring at it, trying to figure it out).

Man. My ‘puter won’t do the ctrl-alt-any-arrow-tilt-thing. Sheesh. I spit on your communist computer!! Ptuie!

I could so use that after those long nights and I’m laying with my head on the desk trying to read.

workflow schmerkflow. You’ve seen the workflows that I create in our products. Sharepoint is fine, but when ya gonna listen to me about EPM?

Absurdists last blog post..A Job is’a Comin’

The shortcut I like the most? The icon that says “trust Wayne” LOL

metalmoms last blog post..Time Warp

It’s not a Vista thing, the computers at work all run either XP Pro or 2000 Pro and they do it. It’s quite fun to do to co-workers when they walk away and forget to lock their computer.
I frequently accidentally hit shit+backspace, which on Ubuntu Linux logs me out. This is not on purpose, I need to disable that.
