Immaculate delivery?

UPS is holding my package hostile. (Haha, I said “package”.) They claim they do not have my address, but part one of the shipment from the same vendor arrived without issue. The remarkable thing is that they were able to snail-mail me a post card stating they did not have my street number. Hmmm, how do you send mail to someone when you do not know their address? What a bunch of jackholes!

The Butler to the Rescue: Sane copy/paste on Apple Hardware

(An update)

Finally. After weeks of searching, I have successfully stumbled upon a way to hack in “control c” as copy, “control v” as paste and other assorted keys into my mac. Of course, I found this app while looking for something totally unrelated. No more finger gymnastics reaching for that bloody command key. No more undoing ~20 years of muscle memory. No more hesitating as I switch between windows, solaris, OS X and Linux. Of course, I have already mapped the caps lock to control. I wonder if this will fix the home/end problem….

This was all accomplished using the keystroke feature in Butler.

Update: For all the X11 users, if you use this tool, I suggest setting “X11″ an exception app.
