Heather and I just wrapped up a HUGE weekend, and I can’t wait to post about it, but I just don’t have the time / energy right now!
Teaser: we drove over 1000 miles
In the mean time, add one of these to my Christmas list: Quadrotor UAV
Also I wanted to share a cool little application I found out about as of late, called Launchy
It pops up a launcher when I press “ALT + Space” that I can start typing the name of the application I want into and then within a few letters I generally have the program I want right there ready to go. It is so much faster than picking through three or four levels of a cascade menu in Windows!
For example, I wanted the calculator,
Using the mouse it is:
Take right hand off keyboard, find mouse, click: Start->All Programs->Accessories->Calculator
Using Launchy:
Press “ALT + Space”, type “cal” hit enter
As far as I know it works fine in Vista and Win7, but I am still living in the XP era here… I guess I could load it on Heather’s laptop… maybe I will update this later.
Stay tuned, hopefully I will have the real weekend post up shortly 🙂
