Checking all check-boxes without a "Check All" option.

I recently found that Facebook was offering a new feature where you can post a question as a survey where not only can your friends reply, but anyone on facebook can. Pretty cool little idea. I posted a new question asking "Did you know you could post surveys now?" to get an idea of how it would work. When it posted I checked back a couple hours later and saw only 1 person had answered it... unacceptable. I decided I would "Ask Friends" to come take the survey. I clicked to invite some friends and was met with a page displaying everyone's name and a corresponding check-box. Rather then manually clicking a whopping 90 check boxes (I'm a popular guy what can I say haha) try this:

On a form with check-boxes, to select them all press Alt and "+". That is a literal plus sign in this instance. So Alt and Plus sign simultaneously will select all your check-boxes.

If you change your mind you can press Alt and "-", again in this instance it is a literal dash. Alt and Dash will un-select all check-boxes.

This is handy if you find yourself needing to select all your friends, or perhaps fly through an online survey ;)

Hope this makes your box checking faster!

The First Step

I have come across many projects both large and small that I wish I would have been able to find more information about in searching online. The point of my blog will be to add information about these random projects so that hopefully someone else can make use of them. I'll cover things ranging from cars to computers, but I will try to document everything I do and how it gets done so that you the reader can have a better understanding of the project you're going to undertake.
