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.

Hey, all.

what does right-clicking translate to in Mac?

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?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

I'm not sure I can handle the extra negativity in my life, but I am now following Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy on Twitter.

I just had a phone call with a DC headhunter, I thought to ask me some questions about my opinions on what the national professional organization for classics should do in terms of becoming more forward-thinking about technology, social media, and outreach, as they look to hire a new executive director (the outgoing one is retiring next year). But instead he suggested I consider exploring my candidacy for the position.

I am flattered, but not really sure this is either something I want to do or something I would be any good at. I have a week to think about it; we've scheduled a call for next week.

WHOA.

Wow, flea! Would it mean moving to DC?

Hi, Cindy!

*waves* Hi, everyone. I'm here and reading along, just rarely able to post much of substance. Luckily, Jane seems to be getting better at taking naps in the Rock&Play (as opposed to in someone's arms, her preferred option, which is sweet but not conducive to me getting much rest, let alone getting anything else done).
