It's awesome you got your stuff in, @Mattr. I'm a little bit worried about this whole Forward Electronics thing but I think it should be alright.
As for what I've been up to, I got an SMK Blue Alps-mount board yesterday and I'm looking forward to playing with that. I might try and design my own plate to make a 60% keyboard with them just for fun. I also have a Blue Alps board coming in today (DC-2014) and I'm going to start harvesting switches from it so I can build my alps64 board (I really hope my plate design works, it is still en route from Greece but it should be here this week. If it doesn't work I'm going to be a bit peeved with myself).
In a stroke of pure luck, I found a SIIG Minitouch in my dad's pile of stuff. I've been wanting one of these for a while so I got lucky here. Unfortunately, it isn't one with the "cool" switches because it has white alps clones for the alphas/numbers and clicky, yellow-slider alps clones for the function-key row. They seem to be pretty decent switches, although some of them have worn rather poorly. I'll post some pictures later if people want 'em. I might pull a couple of them out so we can look at the bottom of the switch housings, too.
All in all, I am committing to un-hack my wallet so I'm going to reduce my spending going forward. I tend to get obsessed with a hobby over a summer and go all out but I've already spent quite a bit on this one sooooo it's time for me to cut back.
