This is Reuben during the very first minute or two of the strange, new experience called "snow". The expression of anxiety and surprise on his face still makes me chuckle.
This is a tighter crop of the previous version of this shot. I think it draws your attention better to Reuben's initial expression as he begins to figure out that snow is kind of cold.

Debugging Open Firmware Using Telnet

Debugging Open Firmware Using Telnet: Developer Documentation: Technical Notes -- CONTENTS * One machine versus two machine debugging * Gathering your tools * Determining telnet capability * Using the correct Ethernet connection * Setting up your machines * Summary * Downloadables This Technote addresses debugging your device's firmware using Ethernet and the telnet protocol to connect a client machine running a telnet application to a target machine running Open Firmware. Any engineer or scientist who understands how to communicate at a local bus level with a PCI peripheral may find this technical note interesting. If you decide to use this telnet method of debugging, be aware that some of the tools used in the Technote are shareware. Updated: [Oct 16 2000]

NSTextField Shortcuts

NSTextField Shortcuts

After having hit a few keys I expected to work and, to my surprise, they did, here’s a list of what shortcuts you get in Mac OS X’s standard NSTextField object (which is to say, Mac OS 9 shortcuts combined with a subset of emacs shortcuts):

↑	CTL-O	Move to the previous line
↓	CTL-N	Move to the next line
←	CTL-B	Move to the previous character
→	CTL-F	Move to the next character
OPT-←		Move to the start of the current or previous1 word
OPT-→		Move to the end of the current or next1 word
OPT-↑	CTL-A	Move to the start of the current or previous1 paragraph
OPT-↓		Move to the end of the current or next1 paragraph
CMD-←	CTL-←	Move to the start of the line
CMD-→	CTL-→	Move to the end of the line
CMD-↑		Move to the start of the document
CMD-↓	CTL-V	Move to the end of the document
SHIFT + anything		Select while moving
Delete	CTL-H2	Delete the previous character
Forward delete3	CTL-D	Delete the next character
OPT-Delete		Delete previous word
OPT-Forward Delete		Delete next word
	CTL-K	Cut from insertion point to the end of the line
	CTL-T	Transpose the characters around the insertion point
CMD-V	CTL-Y	Paste
Return	CTL-O	New paragraph

If you never use the Option key for writing international text, you can also drop a file in your Library to add meta-key shortcuts to mimic emacs more fully. You can, of course, hack the file to add your own shortcuts to all programs that use this kind of text field (most of them).

¹ Control-key shortcuts do not operate on next/previous items, only command/option shortcuts do.

² Technically, these are the same thing to the computer.

³ On portables, fn+Delete is forward delete.
