I've been on it when it has been working, but is underwhelming considering you look over the ports, an old rail yard and the sides of high rise buildings, but I didn't have to pay so can't complain that much. :p

Why wait? I have never been able to get on board with a flipped spacebar. As for switches, as long as it's not linear, it's all good

Schedule so far is. 4 days in sydney, 3/4 days in auckland/New Zealand, 3/4 days in Cairnes, then 3 more days in sydney. Help my plan my trip please!
Also if Cairnes isn't the best place to see the GBR, let me know!
I wish I could meet all of you guys, but I won't be in town for your meetup!

Whatsup Sydney GH crew, so I have a odd request. I will be in Australia(Sydney) from March 18th to April 1st. And I need ideas of what to do. Right now I want to go to new zealand to see all of the lord of the ring stuff, and then fly to cairnes to see the great barrier reef, then fly back to sydney. I have no idea what else to do/see besides those things.

I live in Cairns, have stayed in Airlie beach. I have not actually checked out the GBR its on my things to do next holidays as well as learn to scuba dive. I thought Airlie beach was amazing. I think you will be here during stinger season so you may have to wear a pink guy suit if you want to swim at the GBR but i dont have heaps of knowledge of the area as only been here for a bit over month.
If i were you I would seriously consider airlie beach as an alternative but you would have to do a bit of research on it.

Would be good if we could get a place where people could show off their stuff
I was thinking we could secure a bench at a park and Ill cook up some sausage sizzle for everyone

So I'm trying to think of a good location for this - I'm in the inner west and can drive
Would be good if we could get a place where people could show off their stuff
I was thinking we could secure a bench at a park and Ill cook up some sausage sizzle for everyone
that would be nice if it's not raining or super hot on the day. the sunlight would make for great photos too.
btw, still 3 confirmed people?

if we've all got model M's, probably don't have to worry too much about bringing one I guess
Ah yeah true. I'll just bring my clears so that I can compare it to the ergo clears.
Post by: swimmingbird on Thu, 25 February 2016, 18:03:20
I would love to try ergo clears. I can bring my poker 2 with clears to compare! Also want to try the Novatouch and Gateron blacks. But that's too much to bring.
I might be able to bring my Model M! We shall see.

Also censor out the lady before tp sees and gets all stalky/rapey.
Edit: after today's episode of who is the hottest piece of male meat on gh, it may be a good idea to censor out the gentlemen also.

should update the OP with the imgur album and update the title so more people will seeThat's a good idea.

Maybe once we have attracted some more attention we can do another and then hopefully I can come along as well :)

either a pug or a bulldog, some sort of stubby-ass dog
the dog saliva on the keys might have dried up to create a more textured surface, allowing kekman to type more accurately

I'm actually planning one right now and I found a venue next to Central station that would be the perfect spot. I spoke with the guys at The Nerd Cave and they said if there was less than 38 people, we wouldn't need to book/pay for the venue, just turning up would be fine.
Have you settled on a date? 27th of March is during mid-semester break for some university students.

I checked r/mk for any Sydney meetups and I didn't see any. I should've checked GH as well.During April would suit me more as school holidays begin on the 9th of April

If anyone needs a delivery from the states(California) that is not too huge I might be able to make it happen.
I'll be in town March 18-21st. :)
We can accommodate for our American friend if we set the date to the 19th or 20th. What do you think?
directly during my exam block so if that's the case I'll sit out of that one
Just out of curiosity, what are you studying? I may as well ask where as well.

Accelerated IPT, for school. Those aren't my notes though, those are notes from the guy who got 1st in state 3 years ago and recently got 99.95 ATAR, so his notes are fairly famous around our school. Definitely going to review them alot going into exams and such.

That sounds pretty hardcore. I kind of wish I had that attitude with my studies. I've been dragging my computer science degree for a while.
I'm happy to take point on organizing but I'll wait till swimmingbird chimes in before I do anything since he's a respected elder around here. I can set up a form so people can decide on day.
I'll be able to bring some soldering equipment and some stuff to solder if people were interested in a tutorial or something. I can also bring in some keyboards with the Matias varieties, some Zealios and Aristotle switches (loose switches though). An industrial Model M if I'm not already overburdened.

A month ago I would've found the soldering tutorial really useful, I'm sure it will be very handy for some people.
Really pumped to try out some of the switches you mentioned seeing as though I've only ever used mx browns and blues.
I hope it ends up being a day I can make it ;D

If you can set maybe 25th-26th of April as the date I can get everyone's stuff back ASAP, or maybe 30th april-1st of may but my birthday is on the 30th so I might have something else planned on that date.

I would suggest 'The Nerd Cave' as the venue. It's right next to Central station (towards Surry Hills).
[attachimg=1]
https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Nerd+Cave/@-33.8842732,151.2060943,17.5z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x6b12ae2198e929cb:0xcf2bbfd6347e7d9d?hl=en
They're pretty much a little den for trading card game players. There are some PCs and arcade machines inside. I inquired about having a meet there a while back and they're happy to have us. It's pretty quiet during the afternoon so we'll have most of the venue to ourselves.
Keg & Brew is nearby so we can drop by after for some craft beer. Tokyo Bird if you're into Japanese whisky and yakitori.

I am also very interested. Although I'm not so active on Geekhack.
I bet some are really willing for this to happen, but at the same time need more time to work on their boards, so they don't mind the silence :)

I'm hoping to set a date at the end of the month or early next month. Venue will probably be at The Nerd Cave, right next to Central station. https://www.facebook.com/the.nerd.cave.au/ (https://www.facebook.com/the.nerd.cave.au/)
If the venue will allow it, I might run a soldering workshop. I might be able to give away a few things out as well (from MechKB and probably my own stuff if my bosses aren't feeling particularly generous).

Are any of you guys interested in getting anything from Decent Keyboards? They made the custom dye-sub caps for the Tokyo Meetup. I'll be getting a bunch made for the meetup so y'all are welcome to add to the order and get a free ride from the international shipping I'm paying for. Anyone who isn't attending (busy, interstate, etc) will just have to pay for their order and domestic shipping.

It looks like the meet will probably end up being set to the 3rd of September. I'll confirm time and dates tonight in case there's any other possible attendees who've yet to vote.

I asked you on reddit.. going to see if I can't get more concrete details here, again. Need to have at least a few weeks notice if its going to be a successful event.
