Super Geek and a New Keyboard

I had a nightmare last night that because of the changes to how Movable Type handles links in comments (to keep people from using comment spam to improve their google page rank) my weblog no longer appeared anywhere in a google search for my name.

I woke up and felt especially geeky...

In other geek news, I got my tactilepro keyboard today from the UPS guy.

It's really nice to finally have a good keyboard with high-quality mechanical switches again. The keyboard comes with a driver to enable to volume and eject keys, but they are working for me without installing the driver, so I think I'll leave it uninstalled. The keyboard itself doesn't seem to have been built to the highest quality standards. (The plastic casing has two halves that clip to each other, but there is a fairly big gap that runs around the whole keyboard. I had to snap mine together as it wasn't fully assembled. Since there wasn't any impact damage on the packaging, it looks like it shipped that way). Even though the fit-and-finish didn't have the high quality I was expecting, the feel of the keyboard is really good (it's also a bit loud, louder than the Apple Extended Keyboard II I used to use), but I'm typing faster already.

mmmm keyboard ...

All in all, I highly recommend purchasing one of these. It's a great USB keyboard. You can get one online here (it's cheaper than buying direct from the manufacturer).
