The 20 times tables: 19Category: goals
I cannot believe just how AWFUL I have become at my 13 through 20 (times 20) tables. Struggling with mental arithmetic is totally unacceptable. It is a sign of mental deterioration that I want to fight against.

Ctrl-L is for LocationCategory: linux
I keep on forgetting this ridiculously easy shortcut.
Ctrl-L is for Location
-- in chrome
-- in Nautilus
Now, where can I find more RAM for my foggy brain?!

Display Full Directory Location in NautilusCategory: linux
Nautilus in Gnome 3 has this annoying main toolbar with just buttons displaying the current directory you are in. There is no option to switch the display to the complete text version of the location of the directory.
Well, as usual, there is a round-about way.
Type:
Run:
In the dconf-editor menu:
Location Bar options are stored under
Whew. I am glad I can see precisely where I am and copy and paste locations into the terminal once more instead of staring clueless at the vague "pretty' buttons. I remember that when Gnome was in version 2.x, they had the option to change the location display format right under the preferences section of Nautilus.
It's somewhat cruel to take away the means to easily change display format options from an application like Nautilus and hide all of it under system configurations ONLY accessible by installing the dconf-editor.
Ugh. What were the Gnome 3 developers thinking??

On the handmade pathCategory: tourism
Some of my favourites from back when the sun was not actually a big fat dazzling liar.
This brilliant brittle white mushroom bunch looked like it had to be saturated with some calcium salt. (e:matthew) and I wondered about the source.
Contrast that with this one - possibly filled with iron salts or rust.
It was such a happy day! Behold the cutest smile on the planet! :)
(e:Paul) taking the panoramic shots...
These great rotting branches reminded me of my muscle dissection days.
We plodded through a rustic-looking huge open field of fluffly little dandelion-like plants. We had fake "snowball" fights and all the little fluffy things ended up attacking me. I think (e:YesThatCasey) totally incited the attack.
I (not so secretly) spied on (e:matthew)-magic. :)

It's NOT rihanna.Category: e:strip
More emphatically now.. NO!!! the avatar Is TOTALLY not Rihanna.
I can't stand her awfully nasal bland emotionless voice. To me, she sounds like nails on chalkboard. And also very suspiciously like she is from Rochester.
Scratch that. Nails on chalkboard is actually bearable. But the second resemblance kind of ruins it for me.
It's bat for lashes in one of her quirky moods.

Oddly enough, B4L is not my type of music either. But the new one completely is. :) :::link:::

I wasn't sure who it was but now that you that it does look like her.... Not my type of music really think she might have a couple songs I like?

haha. I love disagreeing with you. I know you like Rihanna. I think she is really pretty but I can't really hear her songs out for more than 10 seconds without the Rochester tonal comparison sneaking in. :)

I heart rihanna. We will probably agree to disagree on most things. You would be proud to know I haven't had a drink in 8 days lol.

I had this obnoxious 2nd grade teacher who pinched our arms if we didn't know "joggle tables". Joggle tables were an absolutely evil invention where she would just take any table from 13 through 25 and eliminate either x, y or z in:
x * y = z
It was torture. I think I did know all the tables in my sleep by 3rd grade but all the relentless pinching and knuckle whacking made me not like brushing up on them so much. And I guess the result is now, I often struggle with arithmetic in my head and feel dumb generally. I want to end it. Tables are crucial when one hates carrying a phone ;-)
We only learned up to 12 although I've accumulated some 15s and 16s.
Hmm.. I often don't have my phone. I am going back to 1st grade arithmetics for a week till I have 13 through 20 burnt into my brain.
This is what my phone is for. Also, I keep the calculator accessory at the top of my programs list in the windows start bubble.
