tabbing in IE 7 - continued

-
Well, I ought to correct my previous post. IE 7 does allow you to keyboard shortcut between tabs now since I finally upgraded my browser due to a corrupt application data directory which refuses to fix itself.

Apparently its ctrl tab to move forward following the windows standard. and to go back? Its some finger dexterity which is ctrl-shit-tab.

I suppose it does make some sense to use the right hand to hold the shift if you do need to go back, but I can't say that is second nature to me yet.

How do you beat ctrl page up and page down? thats just so cognitive.

re-installation and disk management

-
Face it, re-installations are a pain. However, its always a chance to put the best of plans into place and then find out how your plans ended up in the mess. Well, all wasn't lost so far. The original plan was to software raid 1 (2x 120GB disks) the installation. Of course, greed took the better of me and i decided, i'd just use one whole disk as a separate data mount and if i need to backup, cron an rsync between disks. at least I'd have a bit more room to play with. But like that is ever going to happen. Data issues, sigh. Unknown to most people, they normally have at least a terabyte of drive space lying around the house. Think about it.

And we haven't even started looking at optical media yet. Sometimes, I feel like just getting a NAS with at least a terabyte and not having to worry about it for a year, and I sti...

Apple is Evil

The worse of wars come from the best of intentions. As much as I am an Apple fan, I occasionally get the sinking feeling that my passion in the future will be naught. We all have heard that "windows is evil" more often than any other operating systems. Occasionally we feel that way, which our machines crashing, our data corrupted, virus attacks, etc. Giving it some credit, I am impressed with XP and my consistent uptime. In fact it now "has been up for: 14 day(s), 8 hour(s), 11 minute(s), 49 second(s)" We all know mac's are great. Great for uptime, great for idiots, great on a total cost of ownership in any organisation, although not widely accepted. After reading Winn's Mac/Wintel TCO analysis, mac wins on the virus, spyware patching stuff. But why run analyse TCO of just that? How about Fedora vs Wintel? If there is any basis of comparision in an organisation, it would solely be the compatibility factor of groupware applications like outlook and office. Th...
