| 12:59.32 | morsing | How's Sharon? |
| 13:03.48 | dick_turpin | Never mind Sharon Bilrah is letting his child travel on public transport! |
| 13:49.50 | Armand | is heading to Liverpool Street soon.. |
| 13:50.20 | dick_turpin | Someone has to. |
| 13:50.34 | Armand | Yup.... |
| 14:19.53 | kjs | z00dax: cheers, techtree seems to be having problems atm |
| 14:20.32 | kjs | but i can find another pic based on the image name... |
| 14:26.28 | z00dax | kjs: if you just want a cherry mechnical keyboard that will last for 10 years, this will do the job :) |
| 14:26.31 | z00dax | it has a ps2 port though |
| 14:47.21 | yaMatt | so it'll physically last 10 years, but it won't be compatible with anything |
| 14:51.59 | kjs | yaMatt: you can just use a ps2 to USB |
| 14:52.38 | kjs | z00dax: trying ti find one... cloest I can find is: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-013-CH&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=2107 the chassis does not look as good though!? |
| 14:53.00 | kjs | I can't justify spending £140 on a Daskeyboard |
| 14:54.46 | z00dax | what are you really looking for ? |
| 14:55.03 | z00dax | I find noisy keyboards are an irritating thing ( these days, used to quite like them back in the day ) |
| 14:55.23 | z00dax | my desktop is a logitech K750 and a logitech comfort pro, that i swap out on alternate days |
| 14:55.39 | z00dax | and i absolutely enjoy the keyboard on my HP elitebook laptop |
| 14:55.42 | kjs | why do you swap them out? |
| 14:55.54 | z00dax | so as to not get the rsi symptoms again |
| 14:56.04 | z00dax | ( went through much drama in 2006, would rather not do that again ) |
| 14:56.17 | z00dax | the comfort pro is an ergo split one - so has very different wrist positions |
| 14:56.55 | kjs | I am looking for a mechanical keyboard... probably cherry blue switches the noise does not sound too bad from the youtube vids i'v watched... The IBM Model is a lot louder. |
| 14:57.40 | kjs | this keyboard is a pile of shit... Logitech K200 from pc world, as my last keyb failed (cheap thing). |
| 14:57.46 | z00dax | its absolutely freaking irritating... the sound |
| 14:58.11 | z00dax | specially if you intend to use it longer than a few minutes at a time |
| 14:58.45 | z00dax | the daskeyboard isnt bad either, but its not worth the hype |
| 14:58.58 | kjs | I hate hearing other people speed type... constantly when i am trying to concentrate |
| 14:59.00 | z00dax | if you can someone to bring you one from the US, their silent ones are ~ £60 |
| 15:00.10 | kjs | I guess I kinda wanted a noisey keyboard, if it's just me typing??? (at home)... But from what you have just said it may drive me insane |
| 15:00.26 | z00dax | where abouts are you located ? |
| 15:01.09 | kjs | currently Bath... soon London. |
| 15:01.26 | z00dax | for £12 + postage, I'll send you mine |
| 15:01.35 | kjs | lol... which ? |
| 15:01.37 | z00dax | £12 since that is what it will cost me to get another ps2 type keyboard |
| 15:01.49 | z00dax | i have a bunch of machines that dont usb-keyboard |
| 15:01.54 | z00dax | the cherry mechinical one |
| 15:02.19 | kjs | You don't type better on a mechanical? |
| 15:02.23 | z00dax | nope |
| 15:02.29 | kjs | interesting |
| 15:02.32 | z00dax | i type best on a keyboard where i dont feel the keys, at all |
| 15:02.52 | z00dax | i am on a computer long enough everyday that i dont really want me fingers having to do more work than they need to |
| 15:03.14 | z00dax | and i do send lots of email and other stuff that needs constant typing for long'ish sessions - 15 to 20 min |
| 15:03.28 | kjs | might just be that this keyboard is "bad" and that a mech keyb might piss me off, guess ill have to try it and see. |
| 15:03.33 | z00dax | if its just short bursts ( someone writing .net code ) - keyboards dont matter that much |
| 15:04.00 | z00dax | get yourself to a pcworld, and try the logitech k750 |
| 15:05.14 | kjs | the solar powered thign? |
| 15:05.57 | z00dax | ye |
| 15:06.03 | kjs | flat keys... |
| 15:06.06 | z00dax | yup |
| 15:06.12 | z00dax | very little feedback |
| 15:06.26 | z00dax | even less than the apple keyboards |
| 15:06.37 | z00dax | ( which i hate, the metal edges keep cutting into my wrists ) |
| 15:06.38 | kjs | I was about to say, looks like an apple keyb |
| 15:06.59 | z00dax | hmm, not really |
| 15:07.04 | z00dax | its got a better base |
| 15:07.16 | z00dax | the place where the wrists sit are also quite nice and soft |
| 15:07.16 | kjs | I tend to float my wristed off the desk... |
| 15:07.35 | z00dax | that lasts for 45 min, then you start getting spondolosis :) |
| 15:08.03 | z00dax | spondylosis even |
| 15:08.11 | z00dax | i knew there was a y in there somewhere |
| 15:08.22 | kjs | googles to find out what that is... |
| 15:08.46 | kjs | great another random lock up on ff under f17 |
| 15:10.09 | kjs | z00dax: ill probably end up with that... I sit more "how i like" at my desk |
| 15:10.55 | kjs | my arms rest on my chair though so i'm not having to hold their weight, that said iv only been trying this out for a few days... |
| 15:11.09 | z00dax | i think everyone does at some point or the other, just keep the exercise routine up, and keep moving around and changing pressure points -> delay it as long as possible :) |
| 15:11.30 | kjs | I go to the gym every day... |
| 15:11.42 | kjs | I doubt squating 100kg helps though ;) |
| 15:13.00 | z00dax | if thats all you do, its going to be quite bad |
| 15:13.53 | kjs | ha, it's not my only exercise... in fact I hate legs day, but I pretend I like it so ill still actually go to the gym. |
| 15:14.12 | kjs | Legs day always makes almost vommit. |
| 15:14.42 | kjs | z00dax: you serious about sending the cherry? |
| 15:15.31 | z00dax | if i can find it, sure |
| 15:15.40 | z00dax | it gets about 10 min of airtime every year |
| 15:15.49 | z00dax | you might need to give it a good clean though |
| 15:16.07 | z00dax | ping me at night today, once i am home, and I will look |
| 15:17.18 | kjs | cheers |
