  • How to (F)ocus on the browser address bar

    Why do browsers use different function keys to focus on the address bar?

    • Vivaldi – F8
    • Chrome & Firefox – F6
    • Edge – F4

    I’m sure there’s some historic reason behind it, Edge’s probably being that F4 has given focus to the address bar in Windows Explorer for years.

    Also worth mentioning that F6 on Chrome doesn’t just focus on the address bar but cycles through various browser UI elements. Vivaldi and Edge do this as well. F10 does something similar in Chrome and Edge in that it cycles between the address bar and settings.

    This means that Chrome is the only browser without a dedicated function key to focus on the address bar.

    Kick $#!+ up

    Back in university I met a friend who has become one of my closest and most trusted confidants. Our friendship began one evening when she knocked on my door and asked if I had the time to talk. That was the first of many long talks we had during our time at university.

  • Jellyfish

    Tokyo uses more electricity than these 20 countries which includes #Brunei. So how many jellyfish would we need to power Tokyo?

  • Cosy little lunch

    Having lunch at a nearby Coffee Bean. It’s not too crowded with gentle music playing as I wait for my salad.

  • A wild Brunei appears!

    Brunei mentioned on the Netflix series “3 Body Problem” 😃

  • Test prints for my Shadowbox

    My hands were fidgeting so I decided to print and cut out sprites for my planned Shadowbox. Cutting out something so small (Brunei 10 cent coin for size comparison) was a surprising challenge I did not foresee. Ignore Link’s tunic colour, my printer needs a Blue refill.

  • Enhance!

    As recently as 10 years ago I’d snicker anytime a TV show or movie zoomed in on a photo/video – without loss in quality – to identify an important clue. Given how much technology has advanced since then including generative AI, I’m no longer laughing.

  • Post-holiday rush

    I suppose one of the unintended effects of having holidays bunch up together is that work gets pushed back meaning it all needs attending to at the same time 😅
