ITouch tips

3. Double clicking the home button in any application, or with the screen off will bring up the music controls.
5. Holding down letters on the keyboard will pop up the accents/symbols associated with those letters. Once it pops up, slide your finger over to the accent/symbol you like.
13. When typing if you want to add something from the numbers keyboard just hold down the numbers and slide your finger to the number or symbol you want, and release. It will take you back to your letters keyboard. This way you dont have to tap numbers, tap your number, then tap numbers again to go back. This also applies for using the 'shift' key to apply capital letters.
17. Make a spelling mistake? Press and hold the word you spelt wrong and a magnifying glass will appear. Slide your finger back and forwth to move the cursor.

Fixin' X-org

clipped from www.kev009.com

The quick answer… press Ctrl+Alt+F2 or similar to log into a TTY console, or type ‘init 3′ into a root X terminal.

If you haven’t already, log in as root and  kill X or type ‘init 3′ if you want to be heavy handed.  Then run:

X -configure
mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

xorg.config in two commands.  Run the ‘init 5′ command to get back to your GUI login (or kdm or gdm or startx, etc if you know what you are doing.  Worst case remove the .conf and restart.)

If you are advanced enough to edit an xorg.conf, the above should be a cakewalk and you shouldn’t complain about it.

Regardless, you should investigate ‘xrandr’ which makes it simple to do runtime adjustments.

If you are a newbie, look into a gui.  KDE has KRandRTray which makes controlling outputs and resolutions a breeze.  Don’t forget to toggle the output on with the Fn key if you are a laptop user.

Nancy & her jet

This was emailed to me by a friend. Not sure about the numbers? But it sounds possible.
-----------------------

And they wanted to talk about was Sarah's dress?
How about those complaints about the private jets for Auto manufacturers?

MADAME PELOSI
Madame Pelosi wasn't 'happy' with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job. No ... Madame Pelosi Was aggravated that this little jet had to Stop to refuel, so She ordered a Big Fat 200-seat jet that could get herback to California Without stopping!

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone that's Nancy 's Big Fat Jet costs us, the 'hard working American tax Payers', thousands of Gallons of fuel every week. Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fuel ed and she flies home to California . . .cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, ONE WAY!

As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night.' Cost to us another $60,000. Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the Taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this War, it might cramp her style' and she is styling, on MY back and YOURS.
I think of the military families in this country doing without, and this Woman, who heads up the most 'do-nothing' Congress in the history of this Country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Madame Pelosi wants YOU and I to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants US to buy smaller cars, and Obama Wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up Our tires. These people are nu ts!!!

CAN YOU SAY $5,760,000.00 - A YEAR!!!

My Thoughts

We'll play with this a bit and see how it goes. Maybe it will last longer than some of my other efforts. . .
