BaCK

Today's show is going to be about the letter A, the number 6, and my new keyboard.

Boring? maybe. But important all the same.

I've got to say, i'm a bit of a keyboard-ist. It's important that they work properly or i get angry. They have to be responsive, with clean action - no sticky keys, no loud nosies. the one i've been using up till now was actually pretty good. Early 90s compaq version. weighs a ton. But really nice keys. Only problem is that its a bit loud.

So... i cant really use it at night after my housemates have gone to bed cos the clack-clack of a keyboard has to be one of the most annyoing sounds out.

today i finally went and bought a new keyboard. Labtec, low-profile, low action, kind of like a really good laptop keyboard. and i havent measured it but i reckon that i can type about 15-20% faster. And now my fingers can keep up with my brain (not sure whether that's a good thing or not.

The best bit about it is that i'm going to be posting more often. And better stuff more often... cos i'm no more feeling blocked by my technology and now i'm free to dump (verbally) whatever's on my brain.

more to come.

Tired

I'm tired and my head hurts. I'd like to sit down and write for ages, but everything hurts and its time for bed. i've been feeling like writing lately but i havent bcos my keyboard is noisy and the walls of my house are thin. i never feel like writing till about 11. and i dont want to shit my housemates.

so its a quickie - this guy at work who does heaps of yoga has been doing meditation breathing classes for the last few weeks. today was my third, and by far the best. i've been floating around all afternoon on the after effect. Pretty good reason to take up yoga related stuff i reckon. i like the concepts. i wish i had more energy to expand on the idea but im really really buggered.

maybe sometime this weekend.
