no plane or boat necessary

eurotunnel is the company responsible for building the twin railway tunnels under the english channel linking britain and france.

here you can see where eurotunnel crosses the english channel.


i thought england was an island, meaning you'd either have to fly or take a boat to get from the uk to europe (or anywhere else, for that matter)... but i'm terriblie mistaken.

window shot

monday, 5 november, 2007 13:00 MAT

the techies here taught me something neat.

rather than getting an entire screen shot from your computer monitor by pressing the print screen button and pasting it into word, using alt-print screen only captures the active window.

call me a n00b, but i never knew that before !
