Into every roast a little chaff must fly
So School is winding down, the work is ramping up and things are busier than ever due to the holiday season. here’s hoping you are taking a couple of minutes to stop and smell the cocoa with you loved ones .
If only the fates would play nice I’d be able to produce and get this show up on time and correctly. Last week there was a small glitch and the show was live but not public for 23 hours before things got sorted out. Small plugin glitch, to make sure you get the show drop a line to caffination@gmail.com and ask to be added to the mailing list.
So tonight we hit a lot of notes from this past week. Wikileaks was huge news and I give my opinion and note a couple of places you can find more information. And trust me information is good. The reasons people hide it are the interesting bits. And since we have been hitting the hard topics a bit often of late there is plenty to lighten the mood after that from hilarious video to creepy science. Hopefully you will enjoy the show I have cooked up for you.

A few months ago I found the registry settings to disable CAPS LOCK for Windows 7. I don’t miss that key at all.
i can’t wait for it to become extinct. I know i can remap it but i need the settings to disable everyone else’s key too
My pleasure including your site/podcast. I love hearing about all of the tech things that you find. I usually find myself listening while I’m driving, then when I get to a computer I have to go check out the referenced website.
There is at least one group of people who still find the capslock key useful: draftspeople. (Draftspersons? Is there a gender neutral form of draftsman?)
At any rate, my parter in crime here at work spends half of her day in AutoCAD or Vectorworks. sHE ENDS UP SENDING EMAILS LIKE THIS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. uSUALLY i HAVE TO CALL HER AND REMIND HER TO TURN HER CAPSLOCK KEY OFF.
It is apparently a standard in drafting to write everything upper-case. The standard dates back to the hand-lettering standards taught in hand-drafting, in order to maximize readability.
you know… i work in architecture you would think i would remember this. But i do know most fonts come in an all caps form for drafting purposes. although i don’t kow if that works within autocad itself. Thanks for the note!
