I really like this handwriting-like font called Coates. Great for letters that you want to handwrite but just don’t have the time.

Yesterday, I was reading something by Merlin Mann (43 Folders, The Merlin Show, etc.) and came across the word “carabiner.” I always thought that “carabiner” was a weapon from Star Wars. But, after a quick Google search with the “define:” operator, I found that it is, in fact, a metal key ring (or, “used primarily in rock climbing to clip things to your harness easily”).
And, after a quick consultation of my Star Wars Visual Dictionary, I found that I was confusing it with three weapon-related Star Wars items:
- A blaster known as a Laser Carbine
- Chewbacca’s Bandolier
- Chewbacca’s Wookie Bowcaster
So, I now know the true definition of “carabiner.”
One more thing on the previously-mentioned Launchy application launcher:
I noticed that when playing Battlefield 2, some of my key configurations were messed up, such as the Space bar. I then realized that the Space bar was one of the keys used to call up Launchy. So, I opened Launchy, right-clicked, chose “Hotkey” and changed it to something not involving the Space bar. Now Battlefield 2 works fine. So, if you’re having trouble with any key commands, your solution may be as simple as changing Launchy’s hotkey.
