TODAY IS THE INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY. HERE, TAKE A LOOK AT SOME AMERICANS COMPLETELY NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WORD “INTERNATIONAL” MEANS!
HOW BEST TO CELEBRATE THIS MOST NOBLE OF DAYS? WHY, BY permanently disabling that anachronistic joke of a key once-and-for-all. On OS X this is disappointingly simple, you just go to Keyboard prefs, Modifier Keys, and remap it to Ctrl, Option or Command (or you can map it to nothing at all, sending commands into the ether, but then who knows what you might accidentally conjure up…). It isn’t as elementary on Windows, but Google claims it can be done with a (mostly) harmless amount of registry tweaking. As for anyone who might be using some mixture of Linux, I’m afraid that in this as in all things YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN NERD. GO RECOMPILE YOUR KERNEL OR SOMETHING JESUS CHRIST.
I’m glad you reminded me. I missed international talk like a pirate day, and I missed the Adelaide zombie walk. Seriously, if I forget to put it in iCal then it won’t occur.
The Adelaide zombie walk isn’t every day?
Anachronistic joke of a key? Prepare to be slayed by my axe of logic, friend.
Scenario: It’s Monday morning, I’m at work. Half asleep, I spend 30 fruitless seconds trying to log into my computer before realising Caps Lock is on.
THAT’S 30 SECONDS OF MONDAY I DIDN’T HAVE TO SPEND WORKING, BUCKAROO. GAME, SET, MATCH COMPARDRE.
