Copy - Paste Blues

Another collegue of mine alerted me to another interesting quirk concerning the windows clipboard: the way text is copied into it, is dependant on the current language setting.

Let me explain:
If you ever tried copy-pasting greek text into Microsoft Word and came out as gibberish, there is a solution. Just switch to greek (usually left alt+ left shift) and try copy-pasting again. Greek will appear correctly this time...

Control+C in System Dialogs

After nearly 10 years of using windows, a collegue of mine introduced me to a little secret knowledge that I couldn't believe I had passed by...
When a system dialog pops up (the ones with a message and an ok/cancel button)
you can press Control+C and copy their FULL contents (title, message and button text) to the clipboard as text... go figure...
This one is gonna save me a lot of time...

Eurotrip

I never thought I'd be writting about a teen movie, but this one was really funny. Great cameo appearances by Matt Damon, Vinnie Jones, Lucy Lawless and others. Great soundtrack with Scotty Doesn't Know and Morning Train being the most catchy...
Check it out...
