What a bust...

sawylI've wasted the bulk of my day after spilling coffee on my computer keyboard. After the initial mop up failed, I left things to dry and went to a security seminar — which turned out to be surprisingly good, despite a thirty minute adjournment when the PC in the lecture theatre went for a burton. When I got back things still weren't working so I reluctantly ordered a replacement from the desktop people and in a mere three and a half hours, it turned up. Talk about totally not speedy.
So, instead of doing anything productive, I spent most of my afternoon reading philosophy, waiting for my new 'board to arrive. And when it did arrive, I discovered that it sucked — the blips on the home keys aren't big enough; the action isn't clicky enough; the keyboard is too light so it slips around; and the space-bar protrudes, so that the front isn't straight, which means that it doesn't sit up against my wrist rest properly.
Bah. Maybe the time has finally come to buy myself a decent ergonomic keyboard...
