  • Quick Excel Keyboard Shortcuts

    DK asked me how to move between worksheets in Excel. To navigate between worksheets in Excel, use CTRL + Page Up / Page Down. To navigate between workbooks (documents) in Excel, use CTRL + F6. Cheers, Tai

  • Misc. Stuff

    Dinner tonight Jen and I had dinner tonight (during a weekday—how novel) at a local restaurant called Positano Restaurante Pizzeria. Great food. Jen had the pasta special, I had the veal chop. About 1 year ago, I would have never considered eating veal. Since high school environmental studies, I’ve avoided eating it based on an…

  • Running: Part 4

    I was booking it in the cemetary today. A combination of me starting late and my unwillingness to be locked inside the cemetary again made me run a little bit harder. I ran the same route in just under 30 minutes. I’ve been using the “exercise ball” for my crunches and push-ups…what a difference. Notes:…

  • Upgraded to the latest kernel.

    I upgraded the Linux kernel on the box to v2.6.16-r6. I don’t expect anyone other than Kevin to really know that means. -T

  • Get a Mac Ad Campaign

    So I took the time to see the “tongue-and-cheek” humor of Apple’s new ad campaign called Get a Mac The videos show two people, each representing the PC and Mac. Typical to Mac-elitist fashion, the young-hipster-guy represents the Mac. Now, I’m not into the stereotypes promoted by these two characters—I’m somewhat atypical as a mac…

  • Best Martial Arts Fight Ever!

    This has to be my all-time favourite martial arts fight ever. Bruce Lee Vs. Chuck Norris. It’s the final scene from “Return of the Dragon”, directed and written by Bruce Lee. It features a colossal battle between him and Chuck at the Colisseum in Rome, Italy. I love it. The best part is when Chuck…

  • Wing Chun: The Legend Continues … Poorly

    I’m a Ninja I actually did Siu Nim Tau today. That is the first form of Wing Chun. It focuses on the 108 hand movements in the system. I’m amazed that I still remember it. My form was terrible; my legs were tired, so the pigeon toed stance was difficult, and generally, I had no…

  • Running: Part 3, A good time

    I ran well today. I left work a little early as I was zoning out again. Too many thoughts of what I need to do, rather than just doing the work. My run started out bad. I had a tightness in my chest that I wasn’t able to kick for the first 15 minutes (stress?…

  • My LG DLP (RU-44SZ61D) does not have an HD2+ chip

    So Friday night, after I got back from Art and Flo’s house and after I had a rousing chat with Miriam (who is doing a 1-year OT gig in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut), I logged onto my computer to google more about a DVI cable issue with my TV. Basically, I can’t display my computer screen…

  • Painting, Painting, Painting.

    I’m amazed how much time painting can take up. However, I would like to announce that the living room is now finished. Took all weekend (I was a hermit), but it’s done. I have primed most of the hallway and entrance. Still need to finish the guest bedroom, master bedroom, kitchen and washrooms. I’m thinking…
