For me, only a couple of days, but then I was already used to scrolling that way on my iPhone.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Me too.
This will be a test of brain plasticity. I hope my old noggin can adapt in a few days too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yeah, just a few days. Now I am confused momentarily when I use other people's machines.

I upgraded to Lion just so I could use this:
Satellite Eyes is a simple Mac app that automatically changes your desktop wallpaper to the satellite view of where you are, right now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, I had to change the scrolling. I couldn't take Lion's default.

I think this had mostly to do with the fact that I am still using Snow Leopard computers and having to go back and forth was too much.

Our wings are not tired
It only took me a couple of days to adjust. The thing that throws me now is that a handful of my rental machines are still on Snow Leopard so I end up switching back and forth a lot. I do like the new scrolling in combination with the magic mouse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is anyone here familiar with Photoshop Elements (eta: V10)?
Am I correct in assuming that the Process Multiple Files option will *not* downsize my images to a given maximum width, but rather resize everything to 800 fucking pixels wide?
I know I had a tool before that observed maximum dimensions, and I got rather carried away thinking that's what I was doing here. And then major oops.

Google has been running experiment to simulate a human brain. They gave the simulation access to the Internet random internet images, and it responded by looking on-line for cats. [link]
Umm, that is a scarily human-like action. On the other hand it is evidence that if we ever create a true artificial intelligence, we don't have to worry about it becoming Skynet because it will be too busy playing "Farmville" and "Words with Friend".

I'm trying to work out simple SEO.
Right now, my provocateuse sites are pretty simply automated. There isn't much language on them, just names and site titles. Amy told me that Google thought one of them needed to be translated from Danish. I have no idea.
Anyway, I'm reading that keywords meta tag is dead. Like, only Bing looks at it, and it looks at it to tell if you're spam. But I would like some way to maybe add text for some people, so other searches than just their given name might find the pages. I'm assuming that most weight goes to words displayed on your page, right? More important than anything in your description tag?
What simple things do you guys do to make your paged play nice with search? I'm not looking to make a second career out of this, but if it's a non-major change to my templates, it might be worth doing.
