CAPS LOCK DAY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT BAD

, , , ,

TUESDAY, JUNE 28TH IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY! A FAKE INTERNET HOLIDAY THAT STARTED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO; IT ALSO SOMETIMES EXPLODES IN OCTOBER!

ARGUABLY THE MOST ANNOYING INTERNET HOLIDAY (NEXT TO TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY), CAPS LOCK DAY IS ALSO THE LEAST ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BECAUSE COMPUTERS COMPUTE A LITTLE HARDER ON EVERY LETTER! A NIFTY WAY AROUND THIS IS TO... hold on, I'm out of breath... ok, IS TO USE CSS! YOU CAN USE TEXT-TRANSFORM TO BLAST YOUR COOL MESSAGE AND BE GREEN AT THE SAME TIME, CHIEF:

<span style="text-transform: uppercase;">Get Opera for that iPad, chief!</span>

IDEAS FOR CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY

  • YELL ALL DAY
  • EDUCATE A YOUNGSTER
  • JUMP YOUR BIKE OR CAR OFF OF EVERYTHING
  • EAT EVERYTHING IN ONE BITE
  • SET YOUR FRIENDS' MOBILE PHONE NOTIFICATIONS TO THE LOUDEST SETTING
  • TURN YOUR VOLUME UP, TOO
  • JUMP INSTEAD OF WALKING
  • STAND UP TO GO TO THE BATHROOM; IF ALREADY STANDING STAND ON THE TOILET
  • TURN ON OPERA TURBO
  • PUT PEPPER ON EVERYTHING
  • RESHARE THIS X ONE MILLION, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ANNOYING
  • DON'T BLINK
  • WEAR A HAT
  • COMMENT AND MESSAGE ALL DAY IN CAPS

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CELEBRATE?!

That's not a problem. That is just the right thing to do.
I am a happy "I don't have a caps key anymore on my keyboard" user, and proud of it (thanks to setxkbmap -option 'ctrl:nocaps'. But you could do just about the same with Autohotkey on Windows).

Take back Ctrl over your computers, remap caps-lock key (the most useless key ever)!

Well, I did it "the hard way"... bigsmile

Accidentally pressing this 3 keys (while working) was driving me insane, so I just get rid of them... bigsmile

I CANNOT COMMENT. MY PASSWORD IS NOT IN CAPS SO I CANNOT LOG IN AND COMMENT. THEREFORE, YOU CANNOT SEE THIS EITHER.

SOUNDS LIKE A NEAT IDEA FOR A SIMPLE EXTENSION wink

UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF THE WONDROUS JOYS OF CAPS LOCK, BUT I'LL BE SURE TO SLAM MY PINKIE ON SHIFT ALL DAY!
