ANNOUNCEMENT
« on: Thu, 04 December 2014, 13:30:20 »
[CTRL]ALT would like to announce its newest member to the fold.......

SENT

https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=28227

some of you may have already noticed the impact he has had, but in short he has come aboard as our dedicated writer, and has been doing a lot of the info sections of items so far in the store, and will gradually add and update other things around the site, not only this, but he will also be our full time blogger

cody has just created our own blog platform, which we will soon be open sourcing once it is completely finished

sent has made his first blog post here:

http://blog.ctrlalt.io/articles/ctrl-alt-now-with-40-more-awesome

which will introduce not only him but where we are taking that platform

this wont be just a ctrl alt related blog, but really a community article for gh

we aim to have a main blog up once a week (every monday) and then occasionally some [CTRL]ALT informational ones in between

we would really appreciate you guys taking some time out to read it, and give us any feedback

and we couldnt be happier to have him as part of the team

cheers

[CTRL]ALT
I'M IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING RIGHT NOW, WILL BE BACK AROUND SOON

Good question.  I may have guest writers from time to time but that's about it.  I'll be doing the major blogging for the most part.

Congratulations to both Sent and [CTRL]ALT!

I am sure both will benefit from the joining, and the whole is now greater than the sum of its parts :)

PS. An entertaining first blog post :D

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Not a bad idea.

Not a member was stirring, not even to fight;

Congrats, Sent! I liked the blog entry.

This is definitely on the agenda.  I'm planning on interviewing a veteran member who's been around the block and someone that is relatively new.  I'd like to see the different perspectives each one brings on the same topics/questions.  I think it'd give all of us a bit more insight in how we should approach members here.

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
