pointlessly dull tech thread
at work i photoshop on a pc,
at home i photoshop on a mac
i use a pc keyboard on my mac
i use ukelele to remap my keyboard to try and better emulate a pc keyboard functionality
but it's not perfect
does anyone know a way i can get the pc keyboard attached to my mac to work in the same way as my pc keyboard attached to my work pc?
specifically the ctrl and alt modifiers

I'll expand on this
give your mac to a homeless person and elevate them instantly to middle class with disposable income and a reason to vote

I like breasts.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 22:27, Reply)

Is there a Mac breast button?
IF so, then why have I not got one?

i don't understand any of this, sorry

Do you have any burning questions?

why does my peepee hurt such much?

(Technical xtc - Furious Internet, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:12, Reply)

Because you've been drinking pints of rough
cider

Question for you. Why is orange jam called marmalade?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:15, Reply)

Marmalade
is a term relating to the preserving of citrus fruits only

..and Christine Aguilera (sp?) on the piss

Can you give me a quick recap of the Frankie Boyle joke about Katie Price's disabled child raping her to save me watching the whole thing on 4OD?

Better than I was
but still feeling quite unwell. And yourself?
(berk, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:34, Reply)

I'm okay.
I need to do some shopping tomorrow.

What is wrong with you?

Will you be fit for Sunday?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:42, Reply)

I hope so
I'll see how I feel in the moring. I was convinced I had meningitis earlier so pretty much anything would be an improvement!
Are you christmas shopping tomorrow?
(berk, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:44, Reply)

Yes.
It needs to be done.

Unfortunately.

I hate Christmas.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:49, Reply)

I hope you're well enough to bake cakes.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:50, Reply)

Thanks for your concern!
I'm sure I shall be fine. I'm not sure I have ever been ill enough not to bake cakes...
(berk, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:52, Reply)

That is reassuring.
Add to that the fact you can put your leg behind your head, you are turning into quite a catch.

Are you fit?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 10 Dec 2010, 23:55, Reply)

I did do a 10km run this year
and normally I cycle the better part of 30 miles a week...

Good answer!
Seriously though, how are you feeling?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:01, Reply)

Manky
but definitely an improvement on earlier. Could do without the hot/cold flushes and aches and pains and whatnot though. Should I have my other GU banoffee thing or should I save it?

Sorry Bob, it was too easy.

Why aren't you seeing Uni-Girl over christmas?

she is going away with her family.
Planning to see her around new year. This irks me Jeff.

So did you get to wear your own clothes and take a game in today on your last day?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:15, Reply)

I wish.
Nah off skiing in Austria. We were meant to all be going out as a group tonight but nothing got sorted in the end. I might see her tomorrow if I get to Wales early enough.

What do you have to do tomorrow?
I'm concerned that you'll be poorly for your interview.

Are they any gyms nearby where you can take a sauna and sweat out any germs?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:14, Reply)

Tomorrow I am going to stay in bed
I may possibly do the washing up as the kitchen is a state. I really am quite worried about being ill for my interview, but it feels like some kind of virus, hopefully it's a transient one.
(berk, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:17, Reply)

If it is the JeffAIDS then I worry for you.
Cos that was fucking awful. (Well, it was proper flu, and I can say with some confidence I've never had flu before, heavy colds, yes. Flu, no).

Take paracetamol, nurofen and a decongestant and eat as much as you can and keep yourself hydrated.

If you can run to it, get a curry tomorrow, go 2 levels hotter than usual, it'll really help. Honestly.

Get some sleep, get showered and refreshed and get some general TLC.

This is a JeffORDER.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:22, Reply)

As yet I don't feel snotty
but just utterly sore, fatigued, shivery/boiling and headachey. And quite dizzy/nauseous earlier too, but I've fought that off with banoffee. Who knows, I might feel fine tomorrow! I have had proper flu but I was quite young, I don't remember it being like this.
Have you decided what to get everyone for christmas? You realise Broadmead is going to be rammed, don't you?
(berk, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:25, Reply)

You've not seen me shop.
I don't budget, I'll be shopping based on convenienced. It'll be a case of 'in-BANG!-out'

I know who I need to buy for and they'll get what they're given - they'll also get a receipt so they can take it back, get a refund and buy what they want.

Simple.

Everyone gets too much over Christmas as it is, they won't care that what I've got them other than the fact it'll need to be changed.

I've got no significant other to worry about and the family know I hate Christmas, so they have low expectations, and I make it my mission to fall short of these low expectations.

Have you got anyone near by who can call in on you to change the DVD's and to make you a hot Ribena?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:39, Reply)

It;s not an approach I personally use...
I like buying people presents, getting them something thoughtful that I know they'll like/enjoy. Sadly I also see a lot of stuff I want and the temptation is always to spend on myself rather than other people!

(berk, Sat 11 Dec 2010, 0:39, Reply)

It's a load of commercial bollocks designed, by retailers
To put the average man in the street in debt in order to fit a profile.

Why should you feel obliged to spend time with people you would ordinarily want to spend time with? Why are you suddenly forced to spend time with people you don't want to spend time with? Why are we forced to listen to tales of sickness and suffering and then told to feel grateful for where we are in life.

Those who are suffering suffer all year round. Those who can't afford - what is deemed a 'proper' Christmas are made to feel like shit based on the consumer culture and those people you hold dearest know you love them by the time you spend with them.

The same applies for Mothers/Father/Valentines day. I love my parents, and I spend more than enough time with them to tell them. Likewise, when I'm in a relationship, if the going is good, you'll think everyday is valentines day. Why should I feel obliged to spent three-billion quid on some shit flowers?
