| 00:01.54 | evangineer | George: take it easy with all the typing. You've been coding, blogging, writing and ircing. no wonder you're starting to have rsi symptoms |
| 00:02.09 | George | evangineer: hrmm |
| 00:02.16 | George | evangineer: you've been reading my blog? |
| 00:02.24 | George | evangineer: (don't forget I've been taking exams too) |
| 00:02.57 | evangineer | no, but I'm looking at dot.kde.org and there's two blog posts from you in the sidebar. |
| 00:04.20 | George | lol |
| 00:04.42 | George | evangineer: I just blogged again |
| 00:04.53 | George | evangineer: but I think the rsi wasn't really rsi, it was only temporary |
| 00:05.00 | George | evangineer: I've been ok today |
| 00:05.36 | Leeds | still, take it easy |
| 00:06.34 | rhowe | I have to say that this Logitech keyboard has done wonders for my RSI |
| 00:06.53 | Leeds | go on then |
| 00:07.05 | Leeds | say it |
| 00:07.08 | rhowe | This Logitech keyboard has done wonders for my RSI |
| 00:07.24 | rhowe | OK, there. I said it. Much better. |
| 00:07.29 | Leeds | good :-) |
| 00:07.59 | rhowe | And the mouse, too |
| 00:08.52 | rhowe | I find the 'traditional' MS mouse, the one that's curved with the rounded palmrest, to be quite painful to use nowadays |
| 00:09.08 | George | Leeds: do you really think I should? |
| 00:09.13 | Leeds | George: yes |
| 00:09.30 | George | Leeds: hrmm |
| 00:09.31 | George | Leeds: bleh |
| 00:09.33 | Leeds | if you're feeling like your hands/arms are tired, that's a problem |
| 00:09.59 | George | ok |
| 00:10.12 | George | btw - anyone coming to the meeting on saturday? :) |
| 00:10.24 | rhowe | George: Only if someone wants my computer bits |
| 00:10.36 | George | I think I'll be turning up |
| 00:10.42 | rhowe | Hm, I should post a followup mail with my list of ISA cards :) |
| 00:10.46 | George | because I'm going into London anyway to see the new Apple store open |
| 00:12.13 | evangineer | rhowe: I've had problems with the MS mouse as well |
| 00:12.20 | George | Leeds: have you ever had RSI? |
| 00:12.42 | Leeds | not that I'm aware of... but then I take it easy :-) |
| 00:13.09 | George | heh |
| 00:13.18 | George | is it a permanent thing? |
| 00:13.41 | evangineer | beyond a certain stage, yes. |
| 00:13.50 | George | I think the pain yesterday was probably just because I'd been doing exams |
| 00:14.00 | evangineer | hopefully, you won't have reached that stage yet. |
| 00:14.10 | George | heh |
| 00:14.14 | George | it's only been 11 years |
| 00:14.47 | evangineer | duration isn't the only factor, intensity is key as well. |
| 00:14.56 | evangineer | hence the need to take it easy |
| 00:16.11 | evangineer | if you are doing things like exams, then you should probably cut back the amount of time you spend on the computer, until the exams are over. |
| 00:16.11 | George | bleh |
| 00:16.19 | George | god. damnit. |
| 00:16.22 | Leeds | should be doing that anyway |
| 00:16.33 | evangineer | as the saying goes, moderation in all things. |
| 00:16.44 | Leeds | rhowe: gnight |
| 00:16.46 | evangineer | nn rhowe |
| 00:16.47 | rhowe | Maybe I'll get 8 hours sleep one night this weekend at least |
| 00:17.45 | Leeds | fat chance |
| 00:18.47 | Leeds | someone's comment on a newly-raised internal bug: |
| 00:18.51 | Leeds | "As far as I know these libs are only shipped on the CCd |
| 00:18.51 | Leeds | The bug makes no sense. Of course, I may be slipping over |
| 00:18.51 | Leeds | the edge. Would someone with a better grip take a look |
| 00:18.51 | Leeds | at this? |
