31 days with spamray

[SpAmRaY]

http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/01/01/jumpstart-your-journaling-a-31-day-challenge/

^^ I thought of doing a 31 day thing and found that in the process so I'll see if I can follow the suggested 'topic' for the next 31 days.... here goes...

Day 1: Start with answering the question of why you want to journal, and beyond that, why you decided to embark on this 31-day experience. Write out what you’d like to get from journaling.

I'm not exactly sure what I'd like to get out of this other than in 31 days I'll have been here 1 year and its become apparent that is long enough. I was hoping to get to 10k posts (that count) by then but its not going to happen, I'm not really motivated anymore.

I've had some good times, spent a lot of money and got some cool gear. I thought I had made some friends but apparently the internet doesn't work that way people are only nice to you when they want something.

The cliché thing to do is give stuff away but I'll have to think about it. I recently gave away a v2 brobot so that'll have to do for the first day.

Nah man... there are nice people on the interwebz as well. I've made a couple of internet friends, which now are my irl friends. There are many douchebags as well, though - that's for sure. Many two-faced people, but nevermind those.

Are you leaving GH? Maybe I'm misreading. Please don't leave though...

You have been entertaining this forum for almost a year. Why not give you the objective to keep doing so for the next 31 days? Sometimes, having fun is enough, whatever the others think.

Hypothetical journal entry:

"Day 13: Select an animated GIF image that you feel best describes who you are, and explain your choice."

Also, since there seems to be much concern about your leaving GH (hoping like hell this is merely a rumor) I'd like to say that you don't have to leave. I mean, where will I get my daily dose of SPAM if you're not around?

So yeah, pls don't leave... plssss.

[Air tree]

Does this mean what I think it means? Don't leave us!

[hwood34]

That's just how the Internet is sometimes. But it's that much better when you find the good ones

[osi]

Will be sad to see you go if you do. On another note -- I'm definitely slacking on my daily post count

[paicrai]

[infiniti]

Bob and Grumblegut are sad...

[demik]

Bye

Where will I get my daily dose of SPAM?!

[Michael]

I call BS.

Now if this was posted a couple days later...then it could have ended perfectly on April 1st.

in 31 days I'll have been here 1 year and its become apparent that is long enough.

Wat.  You are a pillar of the community as far as I'm concerned.

[HPE1000]

Don't go, this better be a joke 

[paicrai]

I will miss you bruh

[iri]

Good news: no more spam! Bad news: for only 31 days

[dustinhxc]

You were the first to kindly welcome me to the community and for that I have always considered you a friend!

[Photekq]

don't leaf us brian blessed

[rowdy]

That is a shame

We shall miss you very much - unless we can convince you to stay ...

I hope so, although that does not sound like SpAmRaY!

[Pacifist]

Does this mean what I think it means? Don't leave us!

At least stay until Air Tree here gets his HHKB Soon™

I could just sell him mine

[nubbinator]

How are HHKBs?  I still haven't tried one, just mkawa's Realforce.

[berserkfan]

Yeah, I sensed it as well. he's too addicted to spamming; he needs a friendly forum to do his SpamRay thing... 

On another note, I haven't been particularly nice (or nasty) to SpamRay, so I'm not one of these two-faced people. But now I feel like being extra-nice, just in case he has something he wants to give away  )

Question is, how do I  his  without being too obvious.

Day 2: Continuing to work within that idea of constraints, try to write a 6-word memoir of your life so far. This idea is rumored to have originated from Papa Hemingway. The benefit is that with only six words, you really have to filter your life to what you deem most important. It may take you many iterations, but you’ll end up with something that speaks largely to who you are, if not in toto, then at least in this moment in time.

Always wanting to try something else.

After more than 9000 posts on an internet forum in the course of a year, it doesn't seem that way, no offence.

Quite the contrary, actually, when you consider the wide variety of keyboards Ray has tried in his year at GH...

Huh? What you just said makes no sense. He probably wants to try out new keyboards, switches and God knows what else.

I know what you mean, Ray, with keyboards and otherwise. The grass is always greener...

Well off the top of my head in no particular order.

So far I've tried every stock cherry MX keyboard switch in a keyboard and Cherry ML, I'd guess at least 20 variations (or more) of cherry keyboards/keypads, both topre 45g and 55g in about half a dozen topre boards with various mods, buckling spring both model m and unicomp boards and both matias alps switches and whatever alps came on my dell at101w. There have been a few other random oddball switch keyboards in the mix to but I didn't really use those for much of anything. All sorts of key caps, different profiles, legend printing method and material. I've got dozens of keychains and keypullers and don't get me started on novelty caps. And the fancy mr. interface switch try bag.

But I'm still finding new things to try just got my GHPads and I've got an ISO board I need to build and I haven't even really used the multitudes of springs, o-rings, landing pads etc I've got for cherry mx switches.

I also just started soldering and have different tips I need to try along with a few different kinds/thicknesses of solder and I didn't even get out the flux yet or the safety glasses or gloves or chem wipes or the desk lamp with fancy light bulb and the crappy helping hands thing or the chinese soldapullt, or the multimeter and I've got 3 lube kits unopened.

I've got teensies, breakout boards, breadboards, leds, and random other electronic parts and some keypad plates that I thought about hardwiring.

And I've got half a dozen orders coming from china I'm going to try building a few non related keyboard things.

So while it may not seem like it I am always trying something new, it just takes a while sometimes.

I guess I was wrong.

Although I don't keep up to date with what people on here do and stuff.

Reading all the responses on the first page just made me think of this:
Hello, Goodbye and Hello.

[SpAmRaY]

Day 3: Decide on one positive habit you’d like to implement in your life. Whether seemingly mundane (like flossing) or perhaps life-altering (exercising every day), think of something you’d like to add to your life that will be beneficial. Then, think about the steps you’ll take to get there, and how you’ll keep yourself accountable.

I had planned on eating better and exercising this year but so far it hasn't worked out. Maybe I can find a forum about that and post there instead.

I call dibs on that if you ever sell it
