It is very bad when GH moderators go off topic all the time. However, in the spirit of COMMUNITY I will not report your post like those GH weenies always do.

Have you considered my offer of trading keys for Geekhack Moderator Subforum spying?

Might be a ClickClack or two for really goooood stuff.

AND FREE JULIAN ASSANGE!

I just saw the doomsday killer caught the other day. Well, found one in the freezer and then EVENTUALLY tracked down Tom Hanks' son. I don't subscribe to showtime so had to wait to DVR a free marathon to catch up on that.

You seem to be mistaking this site as a suitable link farm for your gh link spam. I suggest if you like gh, you start an account there, and spam that place.

Wait.

That is a fantastic idea! I have always wanted to live on board my boat, but now I have too many keyboards. ;-P

What about houseboat heaven over in Sausalito?

It's a dinky 23 foot Aquarius asking $5k. The winning ticket is this: It is on a mooring ball about 50 feet from Fishermans Wharf dock in Monterey (which has excellent keyed facilities, bath, wash/dry, etc.) and is the last mooring ball next to what amounts to a virtually private beach with seals and otters. There is no reason to have a mooring there....it's crazy. $650 a year crazy. The boat has no head or power, only an emergency cartridge toilet. So it's a little harsh in that respect. What an experience though!!! Plan B would be to find something for sale on a dock, but the costs go up significantly...but I may want to move up to Santa Cruz....so I need to see about dock space....often there is a wait list. I'm going to need to spend some time looking into this. But the main goal is to streamline the 'stuff' and save major cash for at least 4-6 months or more. Plus, I think boat living would be healthy for me to shed off crap, and get in the habit of not getting more crap. Less is more.

Sausalito is the holy grail of houseboats.... but I'm currently employed near Monterey....so there are logistics to consider.

Input Nirvana + anything that floats = chick magnet

I have an option with a small C class motorhome as well, in the same cheap price range. Far more practical, but far less cool, romantic, chick-magnety.

I'll be back in the game around the holidays or by next spring at the latest, but I don't have a plan yet. Still working damage control and paying everybody off.

Yesterday I managed to injure myself during one of my many 10-12 hour days 6 days a week:

I don't do reddit, but I skimmed your page there. I hope the flaky dude you refer to isn't me. :-P My science is sound! HHKB works okay with iPad if you insert a powered hub, otherwise it's no joy. I did consider hacking the HHKB to turn off its own internal hub. Just a hunch, but I suspect that is the big power draw, not the keyboard per se.


Input Nirvana, dude! When you said you wanted a cutter I thought we were talking nautical. That's a scary looking wound. Glad you didn't totally sever your thumb.

You don't need a boat to pick up hotties--just hanging at the beaches never fails around Santy Cruz. (a little pre-pickup surfing never hurt either. ;-). That said, go for the moored boat, and pick up a little Honda outboard motor, just in case...and pray you don't get a typhoon! :-o

How come iMav deleted your member SUBFORUM Input Nirvana?

I find it ironic he locks mine, ItlnStln, and your subforum yet advocates the legalisation of marijuana.

I hate Forum Moderators named Larry.

Larrys tend to be autocratic assholes that don't listen to other strong personality's opinions about their websites so they use 23 noob moderators and take credit for other people's hard work.

I had the subforum for a couple days but hadn't used it yet, he said he was cleaning up the forum. I asked for it back but it hasn't happened. Not an issue for me. But I lost edit access to the Kinesis article again. I'm not going to follow up until I have more time. I read that GH is having technical issues.

Nah, I proposed that to iMav, Reaper, and Ashort in PMs and they all rejected it.
Sorry but whatever happened is between you and iMav only. He was the one that banned you and Finn. His forum, his rules you should know that by now rip.
It's really just a stupid keyboard forum, I didn't get when it started
why it was so popular and important to some people, and I still don't.
See, even the Geekhack MODERATORS are too scared to stand up to iMav. ROFL - Deskthority PRAISE post STILL not deleted.

Of course Geekhack Sheep COULD arise and take the DARING move of PMing iMav.
