A few little tips.

1. Ctrl + tab = Move to next tab in current window
2. Shift + tab = Move back one tab selection

Quickest way to change comp name:

1. Alt + R
2. sysdm.cpl
3. Ctrl + tab
4. Alt + C

I remember doing this on 100+ computers in one day, so I know these steps all too well. Sometimes I feel like killing people for changing naming conventions to something I cant automate easily. I know I could have just made login scripts which prompt for comp name, but I didnt, I love wasting my time.

There's been a development on this front:

May I introduce Mouseless browsing (a firefox extension) that works by "appending small boxes with unique ids for all links, form elements and frames to the page. You can trigger an action (e.g. following the link) by simply entering the id and [..snip..] pressing Enter."

Alas, "post reply" on this board STILL DOESN'T WORK! Why? Well I took a look at the markup:

Code: Select all

      <td class = "new-topic-wrapper">
        <a href="posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=6"></a>

      </td>
      <td class = "post-reply-wrapper">
        <a href="posting.php?mode=reply&t=73318"></a>
      </td>
The a elements are empty! Per chance could someone fix this? This is beyond bad accessibility.

Second: Here's a good blog post about maximising your start run possibilities.

Fair well for today
