Clipomatic



This sweet application brought to you by Mike Lin (who also made Startup Monitor and Startup Control Panel) is a great help to people who commonly copy and paste text.

The application is called Clipomatic, and it is a free program you can download that allows you to keep multiple pieces of text in the clipboard. This way you have access to the last few blocks of text that you have copied to the clipboard.

When I found this application I was like "Right on!" because I always thought that instead of having one "sheet of paper" on the clipboard, it should be a buffer where you can keep multiple "sheets of paper". Especially when you are doing a lot of copying and pasting and you have to go back and forth with different snippets of text.

How it works it you just select text and copy it (Ctrl-c), or cut it (ctrl-x), like normal, but instead of pasting it with ctrl-v, use ctrl-alt-v, which brings up a submenu like in the screenshot above, which gives you a choice of the last 10 pieces of text that you pasted to the clipboard. (Actually it gives you the choice of eleven: the last thing you copied or cut, plus the ten before that.)

In addition, you can configure permanent pieces of text that always show up in the clipboard buffer, so like your name or email address or something that you are re-occuringly having to type in.

Go get productive with Clipomatic

Ha! Sorry, I've been using this for a long time. I should have said something! :-)

UltraMon is cool if you use two monitors. It makes the taskbar span both screens.(http://www.ultramon.com) It isn't free, though. :-(

What do you make of this "Intelligent Design"

With all the press lately about "Intelligent Design", I thought I would comment a bit on it. A) Don't teach it in schools. It isn't scientific, it is just a point of view. If parents want their kids to know about this idea, they can teach them themselves. B) It isn't scientific, it is just ideas. You can't witness any proof, nor use evidence or tests to disprove it. C) God wouldn't use supernatural means to create a natural earth. D) Science and Religion don't clash, so quit trying to exclusively embrace one and reject the other. They are both about discovering the truth, and I believe they shouldn't contradict each other. Where they meet is where we say "I don't know." Here is an interesting article about it too. This article defines Intelligent Design as "the theory that life on earth has developed by a series of supernatural miracles performed by the God of the Christian Bible, for which it is pointless to seek any natur...

The Cephalopod and I

Silently the cephalopod somehow started shuddering as something somewhere suffering screamed out from someones sin. And strangely, when I saw the sin I also started struggling so, to stifle my sensation of a strangling sort of sound. I, descending south and circling, seeking, Swam to save the screaming something. I searched, the sound was sickening; Uncertain, stopped I, listening. The source I sought. The cephalopod, still shaking, swerved and suddenly just stopped and swooned, I ascertained The sound had ceased. I sobbed. Sadly, solemnly, the squid and I, together, side by side, swam home.
