Stupid keystrokes

I suppose one of these days, I'll compile a list of keystrokes that can do things to your computer. Here's the story why:

I decided to go walk Sabino Canyon after work last night. I was hoping it would help my spastic lower right leg, and I wanted to enjoy the desert scenery again. I walked the entire 3.7 miles (going there, the last 0.7 miles is uphill). I saw a decent sized trantula, and smelled a pack of javelina (a guy on a bike coming behind me said that he actually saw them and wanted to know if I did too).

After that, I picked up a quick dinner and headed home. I had set my laptop on a table by my couch before I left. I wanted to start my IM program to let boyfriend know I was going to come back. The only problem with this arrangment is that my cats use that table as a jumping off point for accessing the top of my craft cabinet, so they've been know to walk across the keyboard.

I walked in the door, and there's no color on my screen. "WTF" I wonder. I restart, and I saw color until I logged into my OSX machine when the color would go away. Therefore I concluded that it was some screwy system setting that got tripped. I looked into the monitor preferences and when I changed the laptop color profile, it still was in black and white.

So I created a new user, logged in as new user. Setup mail program and IM program just so I could talk to boyfriend for a while. It was past 8, and I knew he'd be going to bed soon. I suppose I could have dealt with the black and white, but my Hubble desktop images looked too warped in the background.

Did a quick Mac Google search and found out one of my furry beasts simultanteously pressed "control-option-command-8" and tripped a Universal Access feature to make it easier to read if you're vision impared.

In the meanwhile, laptop will be asleep with the screen closed to prevent any further discoveries.
