Merry Metal XMAS!!!!

[Charger]

For those of you that can have a merry christmas I wish it to you...

And for those like me who don't even know the meaning of merry...I guess the only thing to do is to soldier on...


Goddamn writing with this normal keyboard is next to impossible...stupid beer...stupid keyboard that broke...stupid christmas...stupid me....stupid life.

[Thelemech]

  Merry Christmas my friends!!

  What do you mean "normal keyboard" ?  What is an abnormal keyboard?

[Charger]

Normal keyboard:



Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard which I've been using for more than 15 years:




You can imagine how hard it is to write with a standard one after getting used to the split one.

[Typhon]

I see.  I have never used one of those curved boards.  But it is hardly the end of the world.

Happy Holidays to all.   

[Charger]

But it is hardly the end of the world.

No...just the end of 50€ and two days worth of nerves trying to cope with this one...

Getting into the whole christmas spirit with this:



Will carry on with some Brandy and later another episode of Wine Club Christmas Beer edition and then ending with some Scotch...

The quality of a person is not that which remains upon subtracting everything from themselves that they don't have but feel they should.

Or not.

Perhaps we're all wearing gasoline pants, sliding furiously down the hot rails to hell.

Merry Christmas!

Dude, I love the angled keyboards. What I use at home. Did your old one break, Charger?

Yes it did... Read full story from the Wine Club thread...

I don't know if it is exactly the same problem (coffee if I remember) but a friend of mine removed the keys, washed and dried them, wiped down the newly exposed section of the keyboard and let that dry. Then put the keys back and it worked fine afterwards. You can probably Google it.

Oh, and Happy Christmas everybody!

[Charger]

Yeah did that. Opened the keyboard up and washed the contact layers with electronic cleaner, it helped a bit but still more than half the keys didn't work and some gave two letters at once.

Not my first rodeo with liquid in the keyboard. My previous one I poured in zero coke...first time cleaning helped but the second time it did not. But beer is worse. It is such a thick liquid and super sticky so it really gets into every nook and cranny...and usually when some gets on the circuit board that's quite often game over...

Well tomorrow I'll go and get a new one again...luckily there were still 2 left in the store...

Perhaps you could find an "after Christmas" markdown.

Indeed! Storekeepers are always using holidays to move merchandise.

Yesterday, I was getting some stuff at the grocery store and saw a VALENTINE'S DAY display already up! Christmas Eve and they already have heart-shaped candy out!

Sure, I bought some to act as ironic stocking stuffers, but, still...

   That is a pretty amusing picture, but I would wager that members outside of the U.S. do not know who most of those people are.
