I was moments away from ordering a Filco from Armygroup back in March '09. I even had a quote and everything. EliteKeyboards set up shop (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=5462) the next day and I ended up waiting another couple months for them to stock blue cherry boards.

Another thing I find interesting is that I actually joined before Ripster. Somehow he has me beat in post count, though ;).

Congrats man. I'm stoked at just 3 years. Think I'll probably have a party for ten years.

It is already Saturday night over here, but I'll drink a glass of wine for Geekhack!

LOL! It's Wensleydale - a bit crumbly for cutting shapes, but it's all I had. :)

Post by: db_Iodine on Sat, 04 December 2010, 14:47:26: No offense but that cheese looks rather disgusting. That might be because I'm not a big fan of cheese in the first place.

That's because in Finland all the cheese is frozen solid.

Say hi to Santa and all dem Reindeer. Tell him I have been a good boy this year despite the rumors.

Just -5C outside now, that's nothing... Although 30cm of snow is bit depressing...
