Today's interest: dracopolitics.

::sighs::

Well, I'm getting better. I think.

The mail server is still down. Drats drats.

Weird Stuff Everywhere, Part n+10: Looks like Memepool mangled my submission a bit to sillier direction (I said the Chick classic was "put to web", not published - it's a 1984 tract, anyway), but the links were there...

(I'm not complaining, just found it odd - I usually rather let them edit my submissions rather than rejecting them...)

The Sidewinder 3D Pro driver in Windoze is not funny. Not funny. Not funny at all. In order to use it, I need to

  1. open the input device dialog,
  2. go to advanced settings and
  3. guess in which device number it might work today
  4. (repeat ad nauseam or until the joystick is found)

Today's XMMS skin: GTK+ - this is actually a bit slick. Now, if it'd actually look like my GTK+ theme... =( It's readable and looks like it looks, that's important.

Blah, this drivel isn't extremely readable... You know, it's chilling to go to sleep, thinking that I can't write...

Well, I might as well tell what I did earlier today: I mucked around with the keyboard, inspired by this :CueCat thing that's apparently under discussion in the States.

As told previously, I have a multimediagurukeyboard, and I'm working on the key bindings for X11/WindowMaker.

These are the key combos that this keyboard (Fujutsu/Siemens, model SEM-M2A if I can read the markings correctly) generates (M = Meta, C = Control, A = Alt):

CD player control:
Vol up:
M+C+A+somefunctionkey
Vol down:
M+C+A+somefunctionkey
Mute:
M+C+A+n (this messed the terminal window... =)
Eject:
M+C+A+o
Play/Pause:
M+C+A+u
Stop:
M+C+A+s
Rewind:
M+C+A+d
Forward:
M+C+A+l
Three bigger buttons:
WWW:
M+C+A+x
E-mail:
M+C+A+c
Suspend:
M+C+A+Space
Smaller buttons:
Close:
M+C+A+j
Dos:
M+C+A+t
Game:
M+C+A+p
Menu:
M+C+A+v
(Joystick):
M+C+A+i
Prog1:
M+C+A+g
Prog2:
M+C+A+h
Prog3:
M+C+A+k
(Coffee Cup):
M+C+A+b

xev is your friend. =)

I should be sleeping... but who cares. My trip to the world of dracopolitics continues this night - and it's still as interesting as in, oh, back in 1996-1997 when I first heard of this stuff.

I wonder why I have been noding a few Latin phrases recently... I don't even know Latin. " Hmm... "The shorter one likes to talk in foreign languages he doesn't understand." - news anchor lady in one "Pekka ja Pätkä" movie


Other day logs o' mine...
