Fans, we've now been in the Ratty for four hours! Which is pretty weird, considering that it doesn't feel that way at all. It must be because the Ratty is some sort of time vortex or something...
Exciting news: Kayla's awesome friend Edward Lee provided me with a mouse, so my day is saved. My trackpad is still having massive issues (as I was typing this, my hand brushed the trackpad and it selected and then right-clicked this paragraph three times... ARGH), so the USB mouse is a godsend. (The trackpad just deleted the word "godsend" twice. I swear something's up.) Now I can get to thesis-ing! Today, kids, we're learning all about the nymph Cyrene and her narrative significance in the epyllion of Vergil's Georgics Book IV. Yeah, I know, you all seriously wish you could be classics concentrators.
I'm going to punch something if this phantom trackpad issue isn't solved soon. I pretty much still can't use my computer like this--right now every time I click on something even with the new mouse it comes up with the right-click menu. Also, as a side note, Derek joined us! Pictures to come later. He's got an exam at 2:00 pm.
Ta ta for now, world! Keep my haunted computer in your thoughts. :)
Lena, go into System Preferences --> Universal Access --> click on the "Mouse and Trackpad" button at the top of the pane --> click on the "Trackpad Options" button at the bottom --> Check the box that says "Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present" --> Done (and close out of system preferences).
ReplyDeleteThat should help you!
