Yay for my new keyboard!

I just purchased this keyboard and mouse. I haven’t used the mouse yet because it hasn’t charged, but the keyboard is sweet.

My only complaint so far is that it isn’t a natural keyboard like my old M$ one and I’m having a little trouble getting used to the new hand position. I keep typing gibberish.

The function keys are awesome - way better than the M$ function keys. And I can type (almost) effortlessly from WAY OVER HERE!!

NOT ONLY THAT, I CAN ALSO TURN UP THE MUSIC FROM WAY OVER HERE SO I HAVE TO SHOUT EVEN LOUDER.

UPDATE Mouse is great as well.

Something I learnt this week

NEVER. BUY. DISPOSABLE. RAZORS. FROM. A. SERVO!

You know, those disposable plastic things with one blade. If you must buy them then don’t use them! THEY WILL RIP YOUR FACE OFF.

What a grumpy ass!

I was just at the coffee shop (which I love but all the new staff are incompetent) and overheard a snippet of conversation. There was a guy grumbling:

“Grumble grumble grumble…I’m not a big fan of Easter anyway - Friday with out a paper and all that… grumble grumble grumble.”

Poor attempt at geek humour

I just received this email from someone doing the same subject as me at uni this semester:

Hi All, If your are interested in doing a project in data mining read on Else delete this mail. Currently I am looking for partners for a project under DATA MINING, the topic “Data Mining from XML Documents” more detailed explanation could be found on FITSIS. I targeting to get a good grade out of this project.If you are interested and willing to work hard drop me an email. Thank you. Regards ***

He/she really should have constructed their geek humour better. Try for example:

if (you are interested in doing a project in data mining) { read_on(); }else{ delete_this_email(); }
