What did you do today?

[Enigma]

First day back at Uni after the mid year vacation.

Ah, how I've missed waking up at 5:30 every morning.

[Kraksx]

Watched the Dota International and ate good food. Today was a good day

I spent 3 hours videotaping an operator performing a specific duty.

[IvanIvanovich]

Finally went grocery shopping for the first time on my bike. I learned I definitely need to go more often and get less things at a time or I need to practice riding a lot more with some load in a backpack. I even limited myself to what I can carry in the handbasket with one hand. I also made it up the hill today for the first time instead of having to get off and walk the bike up. Now I just need to keep working into shape so it doesn't feel like my chest is going to explode afterwards. )

Went to a neutral milk hotel concert. So ****ing great!

Yeah  it was amazing. By far the best concert I've gone to. They are just so good live.

WTB Neutral Milk Hotel concert in midwest.    Why they gotta all be in Europe or on the coasts?    Oh well.  Still glad to hear they're good live.

Keep at it. Having heavy stuff with you definitely throws of your balance off quite a bit. You'll pick it up pretty quickly though.

After spending entirely too much to get my gas grill working again I grilled some awesome pork chops for supper.

[microsoft windows]

I almost became a statistic.

That line you almost touched there is 120/240 volt secondary, and is fully insulated triplex cable. Carries nothing more than household current and is harmless to touch on the outside.

i did some digging in the closet and found out i have a pair of functioning night vision goggles
i want to use them for something, because they totally work in the dark

Use them to look for copies of Windows 98 outside at night so nobody will catch you.

The left mouse button on my M570 started acting up -- it would register a single click as a double-click and often not register a click at all despite hearing the audible click of the switch actuating.

Anyway, I swapped out the microswitches in the left and right mouse buttons with some harvested from an old mouse and everything is A-OK.

I requested a refund for the 87U 55g Pre-order after reading all the comments in the most recent Novatouch thread. I'm makin moves

The only real difference is the stems.  RealForce will only accept Topre keycaps, which you can't buy any more.  Novatouch will only accept MX keycaps, of which there is a veritable plethora.

There are hopes that someone will start making RealForce keycap sets again.  And maybe HHKB sets.  Sigh.  Maybe.

Or that Novatouch stems can be transplanted into RealForce body.  That would be neat

[Lingj]

Did some homework and more Kendama practice.

That was definitely a big reason as to why I canceled my pre-order. What tipped the scale was what mkawa said about how the Novatouch felt similar to his 55g 10AE. I really don't like the idea of having two of the same switch type since I just started this wonderful hobby, and his comment eased my mind.

[Melvang]

Made a base plate for my panavise out of 304.



Edit:  In case you guys are wondering that is a 40 ounce (1.13kg) hammer with a 16.5" handle.

Nice base plate

Imagine a keyboard with that bolted underneath!

Had Steve-B's pizza buffet for lunch, helped a friend move out with all his furniture and then into a new place... then amazing Venison burger + fried pickle chips + onion rings for dinner. Then mini photo shoot with friend's camera. I'd say it was a decent day.

That is a little more bad ass than my little 1/4 steel base plate. I put rubber bumpers on the bottom of my base plate and it is super solid on my desk. It is a great little tool.

I need to buy a Panavise... Looking good, Melvang!  That orange looks really nice, and the base plate is great.

From everything I've seen, you'll be able to transplant the slider housings from the Novatouch to the Ralforce plate. They just pop out and are the exact same size as the Realforce slider housings. If you wanted to transplant the sliders from the Novatouch to the HHKB, it would just require drilling 2 small holes in the sides of the top case where the larger than 1 unit sliders would go. I fully intend to transplant into both an HHKB and RF at some point.

When you buy one, get one of Melvang's PCB rails.  That thing is awesome.  I use it all the time.  Best lube station ever.

That'll be on the list!      Also when you say lube station, do you mean you lube with the switches still soldered in?  (totally acceptable, not questioning that, but...)  I might need to lube some switches that aren't yet soldered, and I'm not sure the best way to do that.  Or do you have some gadget that helps with that too?  I'm aware that at some point there were lubing stations made, but I haven't seen one anytime recently.

You can get a better idea of my setup in my build log.

Basically, my lube station consists of a panavise, melvang's pcb rail with pcb arms, a TKL universal stainless steel plate (with cutouts) and all my lube goodies.  I clip all my switches into the plate held by my panavice and get to work.

Couple pics...




(replace the PCB with the plate as shown in the previous picture.  this just gives you an idea what the setup looks like zoomed out.)

Put a carrot cake in the oven and got the first half of the frosting made.  I have started going to a local museum that some local vets go to for a weekly meet up consisting mostly of drinking coffee and telling lies (just stories both in and out of the service) so this week I am taking a carrot cake in.  All made from scratch with a two part from scratch non cream cheese frosting.  Cream cheese frosting in my eyes is the rubberdome of the frosting world with store bought frostings as something along the lines of the water proof roll up keyboard.

Dropped a HUGE bouquet of flowers and 19 cupcakes from a gourmet cupcake shop off for the wife at her work today.  The funny part was when the receptionist went to get her, I left.  One of the cupcakes was just for her and the other 18 were totally random for her co-workers.

Found an injured pidgeon today and took him back to my house to take care of him. I thank I'll call him Tesla.

I'll try and get some photos latter. Right now I'm just letting him wander around my yard. He kept getting scared evertime I tried to feed him or give him water, so I figured I should just let him find his own food. If he's still in to much pain to fly or get around by tomorrow I'm gonna take him to the vet.
