Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Also, managed lap average & median in the pool I haven't seen since just before Australia trip nov '12. I don't really fully understand, but I'll take it. Loose, maybe. And maybe Druid wasn't shorter...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Pinned tabs sound useful, but what does right-clicking translate to in Mac?

Usually clicking with the Command (aka, Butterfly) button.

What is even happening?

Hey, all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ctrl, not command, I think. Two-finger tap on a trackpad is what I use (or two-finger tap on iPad screen). Here's a rundown of several options, Burrell [link]

There's probably also a keyboard shortcut for pinning tabs but I don't know it.

It's not a pulled muscle in my shoulder, it's a catscratch all the way across my shoulder blade.

Time to trim the cats' claws.

Also, hot and stale in my office.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Hey, all.

The first thing I do on ANY Mac I find myself sitting at is to set up right-clicking and two-finger tapping in Settings. It drives me nuts that this functionality isn't enabled by default - why on earth would anyone NOT want the option to bring up contextual menus?

Hi Cindy!

If they're my mother and keep accidentally right-clicking on everything. (She programmed computers that went to the moon. She can't figure out a Mac.)

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