So i picked up a job that's in another city 3 hours away from where i currently live, It's a teaching job for 2 months only since there will be an actual educated teacher coming in June to replace me. Well in reality i'm more just covering for her till she gets her visa rather than her replacing me.
Anyways the reason i'm going to be less active is because i won't be bringing my PC since i'm likely to be coming back every week/2nd week to see the wife/kid i don't feel like bringing the PC if i'm coming back so often.
I'm doing this for several reasons but mainly i'm hoping the boredom will cause me to go outside or even magically give me motivation to workout.
Anyways i'll have my phone w/data so i'll always be able to respond to PM's and direct quotes but i'll definitely be a lot less active since i can't navigate Tapatalk as well as i'd like.
I'll probably be around lurking but not really posting since typing on touchscreen is balls.
Love ya guys, don't miss me too much =)
P.S. i may be able to provide proxi service from Japan after my return but no promises. =P

Thanks for the update, Evo_Spec! Glad that you found another job, who knows, maybe it could lead to more good things.I'm really looking forward to the drive there on the highway =P
Hope you get to have fun with your awesome Subaru :thumb:
typing on touchscreen in a lot less balls with touchpal.It looks weird but i'll have time to try and adapt to it over the next 2 months so i'll give it a try =)
Good luck brother! Be safe with all that traveling. We will miss you
Thanks! i definitely won't be gone as i'm probably literally addicted to this place....
I swear when I read the topic it said attractive not active....I was so confused.
Good luck with the temporary job though! :thumb:
Hahahaha, i'm pretty sure that i was a lot less attractive a while ago XD
Thank you.

oh good luck! Are you gonna assemble your GON before you leave tho ? :p
Hahaha, i'm actually bring the parts to build when i get there since i'm sure i'll have a lot of free time, and of course i'm bringing my camera to document the process XD
When those pictures will get uploaded, i'm not sure.

Sometimes a short break from GH can refresh you. Then there's the joy of finding the new crises that happened while you were away.

Congratulations on the new opportunity! :thumb:

Thanks! Yeah I'm enjoying this place since it's definitely more city than where I was. Might be sad to leave lol.
Come on !I'm working on it as we speak, I predict it'll be done mid week this week. Maybe today if it starts raining lol.

I need to go back home and get some caps and test this thing, I'm sure some of the smd led's will need to be replaced.
Here's only ONE potato pic for you guys.

I'm still waiting for some parts (switches / LEDs / Lube + springs etc...) so right now all I need is moaaaar patience.
Your picture is not helping me haha
Congratz :p

This is looking pretty good !I didn't know that you were waiting on parts, sorry to hear that.

If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't get my lube through customs so I just dropped it all together and still went through the tedious task of opening them and doing sip sockets and stickers since I had them anyways.
I also went full half ass and clipped the stabs but didn't lube them since I have no money to buy some kind of lube atm, on the upside the stabs are removable even with the plate so if I really want to I could take them out and lube them.
She's alive!!!

I'm pretty proud of myself, all my smd led's worked first try and I only had one switch and one led that didn't work which were easily fixed =)

Every time I'm watching some SMD soldering videos (like this one made by GON (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z7t9p9QbYc)), I'm muttering under my breath : "Impossibruh... I can't do dis on my own !"
So yeah again, félicitations !
If you managed to take some pics during the process, don't forget to update your build log when you'll have some time :thumb:

For stab lube, you can try some PTFE Tamiya grease. I imagine that would be easier to find over there.

I'm sure that'd be super easy to find since Tamiya is huge here.

My work colleagues keep getting me to type out English stuff for them since it's a hassle for then and because I type the fastest but the laptop keyboard sucks and the Japanese layout has quotations and apostrophes in a different spot so that's annoying....

Long time no see ~ :D
I was just thinking about your thread as I'm leaving to Japan for 10 days with my family for my summer holidays.
My current plan is to travel from Osaka > Kyoto > Tokyo.
Was wondering if there's any place you know that I can sample my fingers on some Topre switches heh.
Still favouring MX. Hopefully I could spend my free time wondering around Tokyo. :)
Cheers!

Glad i saw this! (next time quote something from me so i get a notification on tapa =) )
Anyways! i happen to go to Osaka last week so i do happen to know some places, one place actually happens to have almost all versions of the Realforce on display (no HHKB's though)
So the best place to go in general for keyboards would be 1's (one's) located in Nipponbashi (which also has an awesome headphone store...actually 2 in you're interested)
here's some pics on 1's and the website with address. http://www.1-s.jp/doc/shop/
Sorry these pics aren't great, i guess i was too excited to double check if the photo's were in focus lol

(http://i.imgur.com/6Zzqm9m.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/JSvHdos.jpg)
The 2nd place that i know of is Bic Camera in Namba (which is a really interesting place where you'll probably be going anyways)
https://goo.gl/maps/D9kqr
(http://i.imgur.com/NGypSPV.jpg)
I imagine the large Yodobashi Camera in Umeda has a decent display as well but i didn't have a chance to get over that way since my primary reason for going to Osaka was for my daughter and i to spend time with my bro who lives in Malaysia.
FYI, i didn't get to see e-earphone like i wanted but the bic camera was definitely satisfactory for me.
