Keyboard page has moved
My theory is that Google ignores wordpress pages, so I’ve moved the “keyboards in detail” page to here.
One more keyboard…
The Avant Prime by Creative Vision Technology. This one seems to have it all.. ALPS switches, hardware programmable remapping, and N key rollover. The only thing it’s missing is USB, but that can be fixed with a ps/2 to USB adapter. Going for $149, which is not much more than the Tactile Pro, and with […]
Goodbye Speakeasy
So I just waited for about 15 mintues on hold to cancel my speakeasy account. I suppose I waited a long time because I called at such an odd time. Anyhow, the guy that finally picked up was suprisingly pleasant. He just quickly asked me for the reason I’m quitting (I just gave him some […]
Comcast
The cable guy came to set up my 8mbit service this morning. Seemed simple enough. Setting up the physical connection was simply a matter of connecting cables in my building’s cable box. Setting up the rest, on the other hand, sucked. The guy insisted that he had to install some software on my mac. He […]
A couple keyboard tidbits.

Deck Keyboards also sells a 82-key version, which I still think the use Cherry switches for. It looks like Fujitsu announced an upgrade to their Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional series (now its version 2). […]
WRAP
It turns out that you can already buy customizable wireless router platforms (called Wirless Router Application Platform.. started by a company called PC Engines).

RTFM
Why do I always miss stuff. My biggest gripe with mutt was that it couldn’t sort threads by the last message received in each thread. Turns out it can. ‘set sort_aux=last-message-received’ Doh. Update: Along the same lines.. it turns out that if sort_re is set, then message will only be threaded if they both match […]
The Transformation Begins..
Since hunting for appartments in the Noe/Mission area royally sucks (for some reason, the owner of the really unpopular appartments decide to post the same ad on craigslist upwards of 5 times per day), we’ve taken to acquiring new furniture for our room. First the table (a black, sleek and sturdy one that we found […]
Mysterious Errors from Windows XP Backup
Just for future reference. If Windows XP backup gives you the error: “error returned while creating volume shadow copy: 80042301”, do the following: Backup the Registry; Open “regedt32.exe” and navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/system/setup”; Change the “UpgradeInProgess” value to “0” [1]; Change the “SystemSetupInProgress” value to “0”. Open “regsvr32 ole32.dll”. Open the Services MMC snap-in and restart […]
