Listening to my ears ring.

6pairs, you need one of these.

I opted against them because a) no usb port and b) they eat batteries.
I don't like that the keys are completely flat and it's hard to orient one's fingers in them.  I spent so many years with a laptop that the new keyboard has been impossible to get used to.  I'm so much happier writing on this laptop.

Ah, fair enough.  I can't stand a small form factor keyboard and the almost flat keys would probably bother me too.  I have a newer Mac at work but the keyboard is an old one that was left over (only got the computer in the transfer, not a keyboard or mouse) and I hate how it's formed too.





The way the keyboard arcs up is really annoying.  Luckily I found a program called "Synergy" long ago that allows you to share one keyboard and mouse over the network with any number of computers.  It's a Server-client model so you use the keyboard and mouse that is physically connected to the computer running Synergy Server.  Not really a big need at home but at work I use one keyboard/mouse with 6 monitors and 5 OS' (OS X, Ubuntu 12.04, Win8, Windows 2008 Server, and Windows 2012 Server).  Sorry, I can't speak enough good things about Synergy.

Link btw if anyone is interested.

wasnt synergy on trouble a few weeks / months ago due to lack of money ??

I am at present using calibra library to transfer books to my kindle fire hd

There's always a money issue as it's an open source projct.  I think you're referring a recent sponsorship they had dropping them.  Oh well.  It'll survive like it did a couple years back.  I've been an @ in their IRC channel on freenode for a few years now after joining the channel about 4 years ago and just hanging around to help.

As for the sexiness of that keyboard...

On the topic of keyboards, I recently succumbed to the mechanical keyboard "fad" and splurged on a leopold tenkeyless with cherry mx blue switches (link below if anyone's interested). It's pretty cool but I still find my wpm drastically better on my regular laptop keyboard. Placebo effect, anyone?

I currently use this keyboard at home...



And this one at work...



A recent IRC convo brought this ergonomic keyboard to my attention.  The guy said he almost had to give up programming because of the arm pain he was experience but it all but went away with this one.

Recovering from a terrible workday.

holly Moses what a board.

Hehe, I know.  I imagine it would take some getting used to.

[6pairsofshoes]

I suspect the learning curve on that board would be rather shallow since its intuitively set up to fit the respective lengths of your different fingers.  I'd sure like to give it a try.

autumn, tomorrow will be better, I'm sure.  Hope you get some rest.

I'm not sleeping.

Getting ready for my first physical therapy session.

Seething

I'm "sitting" for the first time today, which sounds quite similar.

It isn't though.
