I recently changed my blog to this self-hosted wordpress blog and I couldn’t be happier! As soon as I installed my blog in my server I started re-designing my site, and adding some wordpress plugins. Now THAT showed me the awesomeness of having a blog using wordpress.

If you spend a lot of time in the computer and/or sailing on the web, you might have some keyboard shortcuts that you use in a daily basis while working in the computer.

Here is a very useful table that lists keyboard shortcuts for Windows XP/Windows Vista, Mac OS, KDE, GNOME.

There are a couple of keyboard shortcuts that I find myself using all the time while working on Windows, they are Start button+E to open Explorer Directory and Alt+tab to sort through the programs I have open.
