Typing Tips That I Stumbled Upon Randomly:

The Ctrl key lets you jump between words really quickly. If you hold Ctrl and press the left or right arrow keys, instead of moving your cursor 1 character you'll move it a whole word; if you want to edit that word that's 3 words back, you can just hold Ctrl and left-left-left, and you're there.

Even more useful in my opinion, if you hold Ctrl and press Backspace you'll delete the entire word you're on. That's just really nifty because a lot of the time when you're deleting you want to delete the whole word, so this is much faster.

Also, idk how well-known this is but holding Shift and moving your cursor will make you highlight any characters you move over. That's useful on its own, but combining that with Ctrl lets you quickly highlight whole words or sentences, so you can easily copy+paste them. You can also hold Shift to edit any selections you made with your mouse or something.

Also it took me too long to realize that the Home and End keys are actually really nice sometimes. Home takes you to the start of the line you're on, and End takes you to the end. Hold Shift while doing that and you can highlight the whole line. Very nice for programming. Also holding Ctrl and pressing Home or End takes you to the top or bottom of the page, but I barely use that.

A similarly useful key that I also overlooked is the Delete key. It's like the Backspace key, but it deletes the character in front of your cursor instead of behind it. Just like with Backspace Ctrl+Delete lets you delete a whole word in front of your cursor.

Also Ctrl+A lets you highlight the whole page.

Also even when you're not typing and instead just browsing a web page or something, you still technically have a cursor; if you click a piece of text, then hold Shift and press the arrow keys, you'll start highlighting text.

Practice Exercise: Click on the t in this word, then hold Shift and press left and right on the arrow keys! Now try holding Ctrl+Shift while you press the arrow keys! Hold Shift and press Home or End! Hold Shift and use your mouse to left-click on different spots in the paragraph and see how your selection changes!

i have this project about web accessibility, and it is WILD how many websites do not have proper alt text for images. i looked at the code for our biggest news page (NRK) and they don't even do it consistently. most pages i looked at, if they have any alt text at all, it's often just the title of the image. or if it's an image associated with an article it's just the title of the article or the name of the person in the image. online stores often have alt text that is just the product name.

no but actually speaking of lilith being just absolutely unaware of her gaming skills, i’m obsessed with the idea of Cam sitting Lilith down at her computer with idk bloodborne or smth

Lilith: 😐 so you just want to watch?

Cam: *trying not to have a whole entire brain haemorrhage over that phrasing*

Cam: 😳 yep, pretty much

i find it deeply amusing that fitbit recorded a 200m swim...when I was taking a shower...and left it on the bathroom counter. presumably it sensed the humidity and decided I was swimming, but I've no idea where it got the 200m from.

Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) [photo: Jonn Leffmann] When the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, what next? Quizzically orchestrated by vexed jazz-folk composer Wagner – his mojo favours quite waxed zips – lo! an alphabetically arranged fanfare! Banjo, didgeridoo, harmonica, kazoo, pipa, quena, vuvuzela, whistle, xylophone build a wavering muzak from just quiet to an expert cacophony. © C A…

damn. shoutout to the homie Hansel from nightlife they posted a snippet of a little exercise they were working on production-wise the other day and it finally gave me enough inspiration to open my DAW for the first time in 7 months (granted for 5 of those months i was working out of town BUT i still brought my midi keyboard in case i got an idea i wanted to try or it would be relaxing to give it a go and take a break from work but i just couldn't-- really missed my bass though but couldn't bring it)

but i worked on that snippet the other night just kinda forcing myself into it bc days before i downloaded it because i heard something when they posted it but just the effort,,,, wasn't there so i was like ok done my part for now lol. so then i was like let's just try some vocals see what comes out we don't have to be in this session for long stop when you feel at all tired. and tbh i got tired and stopped like an hour later and thought it was probably hot garbage so ok at least we're back in it that was the goal we don't ever have to touch it again if you come back to it and realize you truly don't like it (thankfully we're long past the point of believing anything is actually garbage until we sleep and revisit lol). so didn't have high hopes and then came back yesterday because funny enough wow who woulda thunk i went back into another session from god knows when just before i was about to practice bass and was like huh... let me see what this is..... added to that song and then went to the warm up after and was like oh. so not hot garbage. it's actually pretty dope and i love what we contributed to it oh maybe i will keep going huh.

anyway all this is to say i'm making music again lol.
