'Baby legs'

I've just put Maya down to sleep, but as I stand nearby in case she's not going to settle I find I'm still rocking and swaying. My sea-legs acting up again.

I'm feeling lucky

I can't find a place to make this available - so I'm doing it here. Since I don't have any hosting that lets me control the <header> and <link> tags I can't make this automatically appear in your Firefox search-box just by visiting this page.

Instead you can copy the code here into your profile directory as described in the header.

Once you're done you should have a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search in your search-bar. So if you can't remember if the ruby doc site is rubydoc.com or ruby-doc.org, just do - Ctrl-K, "rubydoc", <enter>, done.

I just tripled my output

You probably know this but in GMail you can set up keyboard shortcuts for operating without the mouse. And I always forget which keys are mapped to what (for the more obscure things). I then found out you can bring up key help at any time by hitting '?' (hint, not while you're writing an email - that would just put a ? in :-)

Ok, not that interesting, but if you hit '?' in Google Reader you get an equivalent help overlay. Give it a try - I get about 300 new articles a day and using the shortcuts allows me to get through the ones that don't interest me to the gold in seconds.

Eg scan all the Age newspaper articles for the interesting headlines in about 20 seconds.
j,j,j, (skip over some articles),
m (ooh, i'll read that later)
j,j,... (keep skimming)

Enjoy

6th-photo challenge

ls | head -6 | tail -1 | xargs cd && ls | head -6 | tail -1 | xargs gnome-open

Ok, not very interesting - its our cat, in a box of beer. She climbed in - I thought it was cute. I took some photos.

25th September 2005 - (Tanya got the camera for her birthday on the 15th of same)
