Tried to go tent camping with the kids for the weekend, and left Friday afternoon hoping to beat the rush. Drove 140 miles through the mountains to seven different campgrounds but they were all full.

Had to go home and sleep in my soft bed.

Watching Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade on TV again... Noticing a lot of continuity errors for the first time.
I've been playing Wolf: The Old Blood and noticed that someone's 1946 trash included plastic garbage bags and plastic bottles.

Oh dear God. I think you win for today. I'd be so pissed.... Although I hate camping.

Time for the third and final part of my epic FWP marathon.

Went to pick the new Merc up today, they made me wait 2 hours as it wasn't finished in the valeting bay. Had to drink 3 cups of coffee while I waited then I needed to stop for a pee on the way home.

Learning Spanish and taking notes for the first time ever... Effing letters with accents are so hard to type because I don't want to switch my keyboard in Windows over from US English.

The SMD IC parts I ordered are much much much smaller than I expected, and they will be hard to prototype with on a breadboard. Those dang humidity sensors are freaking expensive too. Don't want to mess that up while soldering them.

I got a sunburn snorkeling in Hawaii.

This is good sauce.

Paladin3 Always call ahead, particularly on crazy weekends!

Puppies04 specs on the car and price?

Learning Spanish and taking notes for the first time ever... Effing letters with accents are so hard to type because I don't want to switch my keyboard in Windows over from US English.

á = Alt + 0225

é = Alt + 0233

í = Alt + 0237

ó = Alt + 0243

ú = Alt + 0250

ñ = Alt + 0241

ü = Alt + 0252

¡ = Alt + 0161

¿ = Alt + 0191

But that's just for final reports; when taking notes or talking to people on face book i just put the accent as a different character after the english letter:

i.e.

told my boyfriend that I'll happily eat any fruit-flavored Greek yogurt for breakfast... strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, whatever. any fruit flavor.

what's the fridge stocked with after he does the grocery shopping? honey-flavored. D:

use char map.

ñ is alt + 0241 for example

¿ is alt + 4520 is the one that I use, although its technically supposed to be alt + 0191.

¡ = alt + 0161

etc.

Dafuq is a character map? I'm too lazy to learn ASCII character things:(. I've resorted to just using "insert character" and copying and pasting. Oh, and the accented letter "i" doesn't exist in my world...


New problem: utility guy is cutting up the road and he's not using one of the bigger concrete/pavement saws with water to keep the dust down.

Edit: Oh, I just hold ALT and type in the actual key code.

á = Alt + 0225

é = Alt + 0233

í = Alt + 0237

ó = Alt + 0243

ú = Alt + 0250

ñ = Alt + 0241

ü = Alt + 0252

¡ = Alt + 0161

¿ = Alt + 0191

Thanks for the list!

Proper O/Ss have keyboard composition. [CapsLock](or whatever key you like) "+o=ö
