Greetings from the land of G+
« on: Mon, 24 June 2013, 01:42:08 »
Earlier today (before learning of geekhack.org) I started a "Keyboards with crunch" community on Google+.

I'm a long-time model M fan.  Old-school hacker.  Some of you will recognize my name.  Currently rocking a basic black Unicomp USB keyboard, the trackball variant.

Hide your women and children, most importantly your wallet. This place is cursed.

Welcome to GeekHack.  Long time Model M fan here as well.  Use one as a DD at work.  Have you tried a Model F yet?  Heed advice about your wallet.  ;)

Can you get RMS to join? :D I met him a few times as a grad student (what am I talking about, I'm _still_ a grad student... grumble), but all before I started helping out with this place.

I know for a fact that he loves his HHKB ;)

You will also be happy to know (as I'm sure you've already seen) that we heavily encourage everyone to FOSH/S their designs and code.

anyway, HUGE WELCOME!

to all the brilliant friends who have left us, and all the students who climb on their shoulders.

Wow!  Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you.  As a kid I spent a lot of time poring over my local library's copy of the Hacker's Dictionary.  Thanks for introducing me to hacker culture before I knew any real hackers.
