Goome

That's how I pronounce gummi. So what.

I bought a jar of gummi bear multivitamins today! They're expensive. D:

I have to buy the gummi kind because elsewise vitamins are gross and I forget to eat them.


These ones are deemed less tasty than the ones I had last time, but, hey, this way, since they're just a little gross, they feel like they're healthy for you!

(All healthy things are gross. All bad things are tasty.)

...if I has known it was this easy, I'd have done it right.

So, a long long time ago, when I did MMO play stuffs, I found myself frequently hitting the caps lock key instead of shift, not noticing, and wondering why the hell my shift-bound abilities weren't going off.

My solution at the time? Tear off my caps lock key.

My current sad little three-key input compaq keyboard now lacks a caps lock key (and also has a devastated 'sleep' button in the corner, different story.)

Well, my keyboard has been on the fritz, with intermittent shift useablity and the occasional random beep, so I borrowed Karl's extra z-board yesterday for LAN. And, while playing the WAR forever free trial (They've REALLY revamped the starting zone, by the way. And their tutorial is actually worthwhile. I applaud their efforts.), realized that I was once again accidentally hitting caps lock a lot. I made some sad comment, and Cameron, (once again saving the day?) mentioned that you could disable it in the keyboard settings.

Some investigation revealed that this was not as simple as he indicated, and I actually had to do a registry key edit. But it was as simple as downloading a reg change, running it, and rebooting. And since the guy -explains- what the registry edit is doing, I could be assured that he wasn't ninjaly installing things on my machine

Remember kids, don't mutilate your keyboard until you have no other options.

LO AND BEHOLD: Disable your Caps Lock key.

WHEEEEE MYTHOLOGY

It was surprisingly difficult to acquire the names of various deity's pets, mounts, chariot pullers, etc.

Anyway, what I came across before I got distracted:

Odin's Ravens: Huginn and Muginn

Freyja's chariot kitties: Bygul (bee-gool) and Trjegul (tree-gool)
Freyja's boar: (YEAAAAAH <-- 'Cause I like boars. And Targs.) Hildisvíni

Thor's chariot goats: Tanngrisni ("gap-tooth") and Tanngnost ("tooth grinder"),
Also found it as Tandgneister (toothgnasher) and Tandgrisner (toothgrinder).

Helios/Apollo's chariot fire-horses: Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon.

Poseidon is a bugger and didn't name his hippocampi.
