Not My Day

Posted in Other, tagged , , , on January 18, 2025| 2 Comments »

Between computer issues, capitalist f*kery, and my “(don’t want) to do” list, today is officially not my day.

No matter, it will all be fine. Fine, I say!

Hope yours is too:)

Quick Note for Mac Users

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , , , , on October 22, 2024| Leave a Comment »

I just upgraded to Safari 18 on my Mac and ran into a problem. Under most circumstances at the moment, it’s not possible to drag and drop the URL icon to a folder, desktop, or document.

This is deeply annoying. It’s a function I use for work. All. The. Time.

Yes, you can drag the URL and get a link with gobbledygook as the identifier.

— example link, no page header included: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255802563?sortBy=rank

(Good luck remembering what that link is for, especially when it’s snuggled up to several dozen of its friends.)

But if you want a normal link with the page header hot linked, like, you know, every person ever, you may be out of luck.

— what I’d rather have: safari 18 lost the ability to drag URL to… – Apple Community

The drag-and-drop method works sometimes, if you only have one window open and haven’t clicked on any links, or you drag sideways while muttering imprecations incantations, or hit the command button before (but not during) the actual click, or you’ve sacrificed a venti latte double mocha with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles to the IT gods, but otherwise not so much.

If I’d known about this I would have waited to update. If I could roll back I would. Maybe you won’t have the same problem, but maybe you will. Here’s hoping you can learn from my mistake.

I look forward to a fix.

Today we are experiencing some non-minor technical difficulties. I am attempting to handle the situation with aplomb.

3-frickin-D

Posted in Entertainment, tagged , , , , , , , , , on June 6, 2014| 1 Comment »

Srsly, Ottawa movie theaters, why can’t I see Edge of Tomorrow in anything other than 3-frickin-D this weekend? Oh look, here’s an article about how the gross for this movie might be underwhelming. Could it have anything to do with the fact that some of us can’t see it without wearing glasses that make us want to lose our lunch?

Hang on a sec, after much searching I have found one theatre (hey there little guy!) that is showing this movie in 2D. One. Guess which theatre is getting my money? Because hey, I want to see Edge of Tomorrow. 🙂
