Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

As promised, here are some keyboard shortcuts which might prove to be useful to you.

1. StickyKeys - Press SHIFT 5 times in a row - Allows SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, or Windows logo key to be pressed one at a time.
2. FilterKeys - Hold SHIFT for 8s - Brief or repeated keystrokes will be ignored.
3. ToggleKeys - Hold NUM LOCK for 5s - Tones will be played when CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK or SCROLL LOCK is pressed.
4. Mousekeys - ALT + SHIFT + NUMLOCK - Allows cursor to be controlled with numeric pad on keyboard (useful when your mouse doesn't work properly).

Why I Blog

I blog because, in my opinion, a blog is a more modern and technologically advanced form of a journal or diary. Like a diary, blogging allows me to express my ideas and thoughts in a creative manner. However, the advantage a blog has over diaries is its ability to accommodate multimedia. I am able to post relevant photos, music and links to other websites. This enhances my writing experience and provides opportunities to better express myself.

Blogging is also an effective platform of communication. Journals and diaries only allow for one to pen down his thoughts and views, but sometimes the much-needed viewpoints of other people are missing. Blogs, on the other hand, allow for two-way communication between the author and the viewers. They are open for the public to view if bloggers allow and features like the Tag Box and the comment option allow for viewers with differing viewpoints to post their thoughts. Through this exchange of ideas, I can broaden my scope on certain matters and think in ways never thought of before.

Blogging, in a way, is also a means to socialise. Friends are able to see what I am up to everyday and keep in touch. By viewing the online journals of other bloggers, I can discover people with common interests and increase my social circle.

I blog also to keep a record of interesting experiences. Memorable events would not be forgotten with the passing of time and I can look back and recollect those events in vivid detail with the aid of photos and online videos.

First Post for the New Year

Hi everyone, this is my first post for the new year and I will be briefly introducing how I have revised my blog.

In this revamped blog, I have changed the layout and colour scheme, as you might have noticed. The dull white is made history and green will be the new colour of my blog. I would also be putting up extra features such as a jukebox, so you might want to look out for them.

Content-wise, there would also be improvements. I would no longer post boring information about major pandemics in the world and lots of other uninteresting things. Instead, I will be blogging on interesting experiences and recollections more often. Occasionally, I will be post useful stuff to know like keyboard shortcuts and the history of blogs. In other words, my blog would be more personalised and more appealing (hopefully) to readers.

In case you haven't noticed (which is highly unlikely), my blog has a new slogan - "Life is a Rollercoaster Ride".

That will be all for my first post, I guess. Bye!
