So one of my very few customizations to this WordPress template affects the heading of the “Keyboard Review” list that you see on the right. If you actually click on one of those links, you’ll get shown the review for the keyboard, but you’ll also notice that the heading becomes “More Keyboard Reviews”. This isn’t […]
Some dude goes off about “Why Microsoft can’t compete with iTunes”:http://www.roughlydrafted.com/RD/Q4.06/F6DC3D84-5B4D-43D4-B9ED-1F2033A895DA.html. I think he’s taking something simple and trying to make it into some grandiose statement about Apple vs. MS. The success of the iPod is actually not too difficult to understand. Apple simply had the best software + hardware combo, and the best marketing. […]
I just purchased the “Belking PS/2 Ergoboard”:http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=98781 from Newegg. This is the keyboard that my co-worker Phil has been using for a while now, and it might be the best non-Microsoft ergo keyboard out there (that’s under $50). I’m pretty it will be to my liking (since I’ve already tested it out), but I’ll reserve […]
I thought these things were totally outdated, but apparently not. They have saved my ass twice in the past week, both during Windows installs. I guess the real problem is that the XP installer is 5 years old, and doesn’t have any modern drivers. Microsoft should really release setup disks with updated drivers once in […]
Here’s another set for the Asus P5B Deluxe and Deluxe/Wi-fi Edition motherboard. * “NeoSeeker”:http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/asus_p5b/ * “RegHardware”:http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/09/13/review_asus_p5b_deluxe/ * “Bit-tech.net”:http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/08/03/asus_p5b_deluxe_wifi_ap_edn/ * “Legion Hardware”:http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=580 * “PC Perspective”:http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=297 * “OCWorkbench”:http://www.ocworkbench.com/2006/asus/p5b_deluxe/g1.htm
Qian and I watch a KQED show, “Check please, Bay Area” every week, where they have three guests rate each other’s favorite restaurants. Out of many weeks of watching, there’s a few that we’d definitely like to try: * Aziza (outer richmond) * Memphis Mini’s (haight) (I’ve had takout from here before) * Da Flora […]
This is Palo Alto’s Tamarine’s sister restaurant in SOMA. It’s advertised as a high end vietnamese cuisine, just like Tamarine, and it delivers pretty well. I’ve been there twice, and both times have been good experiences. The Shaking Beef, the lamb chops, the monkfish, duck mustard wrap appetizer, as well as the banana beignet and […]
I’ve mentioned “Deck keyboards”:http://www.deckkeyboards.com before. They use Cherry switches and have backlit designs which seem pretty high quality. Unfortunately, according to this “post on their forums”:http://www.deckkeyboards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=238, they use the ‘linear’ style Cherry switches, which I find the most annoying.
K2 was looking too much like the default theme, and it was also messing up my customizations for some reason. Here’s my attempt at picking a simpler base, and making things more functional. Unfortunately, no more AJAX-powered search though.
I didn’t search for hours, but a cursory search didn’t come up with any hits, so here’s my guide to using this (fairly popular?) motherboard. I think it applies to the Asus P5B Deluxe as well. First, the relevant config info: * Intel C2D E6600 * 2GB 1.8V GeIL Memory * NEC 16x Dual Layer […]
