Today I didn't buy a costume for tonight, so I'm thinking of wearing some converse's, some jeans and a tee and going as mediocrity... But maybe that's just too hipster...

Today I wore my costume to work. Some Saudi girls ran from me. I stood in the elevator for about 15 minutes, riding it up and down. A Sri Lankan fellow refused to get on at one point. I did not speak.

Well, you shouldn't be wearing a suicide vest. It's not a funny costume.

Oil change, tire rotation, front brake replacement, and just found out my rear shock absorbers are leaking. This is going to be an expensive day, but my car has 80k on it, and the brakes and suspension stuff is original equipment. This means much less money for keyboard stuff. $:-\$

Bought some metal to make some switch tools of a new design....realized I bought too thick of metal after I cut some too short. At least it was cheap. I may be able to thin it and make it usable. If it works, you can expect pictures of my design and if it goes really well, I'll see about getting a bunch laser cut and made up.

Also dyed a bunch of Model M caps (the $30 M I bought had one piece caps, score) and the case. The case turned out okay since I couldn't exactly fit it in a pot on the stove, but it still looks good. Once everything finishes drying, I'll get some pictures up.

There are much worse things you could have done. Sounds like fun. Now I need to see inf I have SHrek somewhere. I'm not seeing it on my DVD bookcase, but I feel like I have it somewhere.

And did you really watch Shrek twice in a row, not Shrek then Shrek 2?

They were cool boards too. One was a Memorex Telex board with NMB Hi-Tek switches and an awesome foot. The other was a mystery but probably NMB or MX.

Built a bunch of stuff for the house and got more stuff unpacked.

Tonight I started playing with CadQuery (a python parametric scripting framework based on FreeCAD). If I can master this, all you builders will be in for a treat.

Still just ideas so far, but I have plans to simplify plate design for builders and prototypers who don't know cad. Think automation... Enough hints for now. I need to make sure I can figure out how to do it before I give too much away.

Been working this ****ty janitor job for a month now, time to start filling out real job apps again. I keep telling myself 'OK, today I'll start doing apps again,' then never do it because when I get home I'm exhausted. Today is the day!

Last Thursday I spilled Coke on my Filco. I disassembled it and gave it a thorough cleaning and a quick bath. Working perfectly with no sticky keys.

Today I spilled Tea on my Filco. Not as bad so I haven't done as thorough a cleaning job and it's still drying now.

The growing list of liquids I have spilled on my Filco is as follows:

Sunkist
Dr.Pepper
Coke
Tea

I should probably rethink my "Placing my drink between my arms while at my computer" policy.

I had to replace the "Home" switch after the Sunkist incident because I accidentally tore the entire switch off of the PCB and plate trying to clean it... don't ask, it was before I knew anything about mechs.

Oh well, an excuse to use my JD40 for a while I guess.

Helped a plumber unblock our toilet. actually unblock about 27 metres of underground pipe, he said it ended up taking to clear the blockage. Not out blockage - he said it would have been getting worse for a very long time.

Not my first choice of activity on a day off during a 4 day weekend.
