Spanky’s fav Autohotkey codes: part 1.

Posted In: Tech

Yeah, I’m a total dork for this, but I LOOOOVE Autohotkey. It’s a program that allows you to set up shortcuts for practically anything in Windows.

Download Autohotkey from http://www.autohotkey.com/

and learn how to write your first script. Here’s a good code to start:

#s::
Run http://www.soupytrumpet.com/
IfWinNotActive, Soupy Trumpet, , WinActivate, Soupy Trumpet
WinWaitActive, Soupy Trumpet
return

The above bit of code opens a browser to soupytrumpet.com when you hold the Windows key and push s. That’s pretty damned cool.

Need to close multiple windows of Firefox in a hurry? Try

#+delete::
SetTitleMatchMode 2
GroupAdd, Firefox, Firefox
WinKill, ahk_group Firefox
return

Windows key, shift and delete will close all the open Firefox windows for you–ya know, just in case in you’re about to get busted…

-MC Spanks

PS. Do a search at http://www.lifehacker.com for some cool Autohotkey uses.

“Halo 3 teabag montage”: my critique

Posted In: Entertainment, Internet, Propaganda, Video Games, Videos

Ok, I have mixed feelings about this one:

1. “Master of Puppets” is a nice touch, but it is a bit played out. We saw “Old School,” too, and it was funny in there. Now you’re just recycling.

2. The teabags are out of context. Yeah, you worked over some dudes in your video, but we need more evidence. You’re not a douche that teabags when you’re up by 2 kills, are ya? Are you playing your little brother?

3. 4:25 is too much to dedicate to this little habit of yours. WRAP IT UP, SON!

4. You throw in “Sad But True”? Come on, man. I’m half surprised you didn’t throw in some Drowning Pool. That wouldn’t be too obvious or anything.

5. Aleczz, are you really Lars?

Now this is decent:

Define Fine

Posted In: Clownin', Food, People, Road Trips, Videos

I was told a story tonight that I find pretty funny. The story lasted for about 30 seconds and I laughed for probably just as long. This brings the level of content to laughter to about half as much as the movie Friday… simple math.

The story involves a waitress that looks like a carp and sounds like a dying animal, and her exchange with a table one evening.

Carp: “How is everyone doing tonight?”
Table: “We are doing alright. And yourself?”
Carp: “I’m fine.”
Table: “Don’t you think you ought to go look in a mirror then come back and answer that again?”

Carp to Coworker: “I’m not sure if they were kidding… that was mean… I know I am no beauty queen, but I’m not that bad.”
