DAMMIT! I hate this friggin' keyboard. It's got all these stupid buttons that seem to do weird things when hit in unpredictable combinations - like suddenly going back a screen while you're trying to post. Earlier today I hit the incredibly ill-placed "power" button instead of the down arrow...oddly enough, this doesn't bring up some kind of fail safe, "are you sure?" option. Nope, straight to "saving open applications, preparing for shutdown..." I was stunned and tres pissed off. Dude, give me a basic board without the gimmicks, please. Or if gimmicks *are* involved, make sure they're not placed in the path of the most used keys. Absolutley no love, you bastages.
In other news, today I made my first fic graphic in forever. ::boggles:: I only have my teeny little PSP 4 loaded up to this machine (so basic!), I haven't loaded up the rest of my fun graphics toys yet. Because of this I didn't go too crazy, I just wanted to play a little. I liked the result though, so I'll be keeping it. :-)
Friggin' cat! He's on my lap, making me crazy!!! Entitlement issues, because he's spoiled ROTTEN!
Time to go to the laptop, methinks. ;-p

Date: 2006-01-22 04:03 am (UTC)I had a gorgeous old Silitek keyboard which I used for years until I'd worn most of the letters off the keys. I finally replaced it with a keyboard from a company which makes keyboards using old IBM keyboard blueprints. Beautiful firm clicky key-action, no sleep button -- not even a Windows key! Bliss!

I'm going to have a chat with the computer store guys to see what I can swap for this thing. Honestly, you wouldn't believe the configuration of these keys. About the most non-user friendly thing I've ever seen. ;-p
The mouse is weird too, the response is just the tiniest bit too firm, and it's domed up just a shade too high for comfort. Oy.
In other news, I can't wait for the next installment of PA!sync. You are a goddess and a genius. ::is not worthy::

And then Civilisation IV happened.

I'm glad to hear that it sounds like maybe there'll be more porn!clypse in the near future sometime soon any day now. Kinda. If you squint your eyes just so. :-D
