Mac: Tip & Tricks

Thought it'd be cool if I listed out the tricks on mac. Add your own to top it up! =P

1. There's a switcher on mac. Just press 'command' and 'apple' key simultaneously.

2. To allow for easier application access, drag the application folder into the Dock. 

3. If you come across any word online that you want to refer, just highlight it and right click, then press 'Look up Dictionary'.

4. To remove applications from the Dock, just press 'Control' while clicking, then select 'Remove from Dock'.

5. To search for anything: Select the little blue search button on the top right of the desktop and type in file/program name.

6. If you select 'Alt' key while typing, you'll get an odd collection of letters. If you select 'Alt'+'Shift', you get even rare letters (i.e. 'Alt+Shift+K' gives you an apple shape).

7. If you hold down the 'Shift' key and minimize a window, the window will minimize in slow motion. It works for both minimizing and maximizing. 

8. To remember a piece of text, you can insert a 'Sticky' by selecting 'Apple+Shift+Y'. Useful if you need snippets from the internet. 

9. To view your screen in negative, select 'Control+Alt+Apple+8'. 

To Tabby: I don't think you know what I'm talking about. It's nothing to do with, ahem, you know what. =P

To TJ: Yes, indeed. Sleep I need.

>.<

I have never been someone who uses emoticons as above, but today is an exception. It's 8pm here, but it deludes you becomes it's as bright as it was at 12pm, and the sun doesn't set until 10pm at least, which is actually really annoying.

Sorry I haven't replied all of your comments - I will do so in the next post. This one, on the other hand, is simply a nonsensical piece of crap which you really don't have to read.

Let's face it, I live a superficial life - a superficial lie - and I'm constantly on the lookout for something better, something I was destined for, something that gives me more meaning than counting down the days before the next coming of Christ (which might not even happen in my lifetime). I keep needing some sort of fix to drive myself on, to crawl forwards somehow.

Those of you who know me inside out - you can probably guess what I'm talking about, though there's no need to mention it here. It drives me crazy, but what if craziness is sometimes all that you need? What if it's okay for you not to be like everyone else, because that's how you release yourself in the face of everything? What if it doesn't matter that the people you love are worried sick over you no matter how you tell them not to be, because you just know you're fine? 

It may not be a normal sort of fine, but I am fine. Sometimes, I think that it's such a big part of my personality that it would only be too hard to pry myself away, because it's been there when I was growing up - it's been with me throughout the most roller-coaster years of my life, and today, it's not so much a necessity than a habit, a habit that gives me comfort and a certain degree of okay-ness. 

Or maybe I just need some sleep.
