_stink__snap-l: haha, that download page is great.  did you ever decide on one?01:38
snap-l_stink__: Yeah, I did, and it still didn't work for what I wanted it to do01:40
snap-lapparently I'm not brain-damaged enough to use Eclipse01:40
snap-lI want to know what Eclipse Classic is. That's got to be pretty much useless01:41
_stink__haha01:43
_stink__maybe it's for the Atari.01:43

tjagoda\o/02:44
rick_h__brousch: hmm, interesting. I'll have to see what I can come up with. Don't want to take it over, but wonder if he'd want to dual publish or something02:46
rick_h__I wish I had some insight into how popular/not his user base is02:47
tjagodahmm02:48
tjagodaUnity seems to crash a lot02:48
rick_h__make sure to file then02:50
rick_h__they couldn't get it to crash much at the jam02:50
tjagodaI was wrong02:50
rick_h__and they were looking for crashers02:50
tjagodacompiz crashes02:50
tjagodaThen freezes unity for a few seconds until it can recover02:50

rick_h__ok, wow, this feels a bit different14:07
rick_h__got my new keyboard in. yay14:08
rick_h__very strange sounding14:08
jrwrenwhat kind?14:24
rick_h__jrwren: http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyless&pid=fc200rcab15:54
rick_h__krondor: dood, your network hates you15:54
jrwrenrick_h__: that looks so much like the dell KB on my desk at work that I'd be afraid its the same thing.16:25
jrwrenoh, except the lack of 10key16:25
rick_h__heh note quite16:25
jrwrenlooks sweet.16:25
jrwrendoes it have a numlock like a laptop KB though?16:25
rick_h__http://elitekeyboards.com/support.php#116:26
rick_h__doesn't look like it16:26
jrwrenwhat does nkey rollover mean?16:26
rick_h__This means that each key is scanned completely independently by the keyboard hardware, so that each keypress is correctly detected regardless of how many other keys are being pressed or held down at the time.16:27
rick_h__copied/pastecx16:27
rick_h__pasted16:27
rick_h__basically means you can do more simultaneous keypresses without issues16:28
jrwrenrick_h__: yes, mech KB are awesome. I still have 2 focus 2001's that are PCAT style. I had been wiring them to ATX manually myself :(16:28
rick_h__this keyboard has teh MX blue switches in there16:28
rick_h__so my first try at the cherry MX switches16:28
rick_h__wanted to compare against the model M spring buckle16:28
jrwrenfocus 2001 is spring buckle style.16:28
jrwrenalthough I've used the switches kind16:29
rick_h__and while I love the small size of the happy hacker, it moved the backspace and \ keys around16:29
rick_h__which messed me up16:29
rick_h__so this is small form factor, mechanical, without moving keys around16:29
jrwrenfocus 2001 had that for a while.16:29
rick_h__http://www.geekstuff4u.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/47/image/521/16:29
jrwrenerr, no, focus 2001 never moved backspace, but \ was right of right shift16:30
rick_h__see the delete below the \ and ~ and such16:30
jrwrenyes, that is terrible.16:30
jrwrenthere is no excuse for that.16:30
rick_h__I could get used to it, but every other keyboard doesn't do it16:30
rick_h__and I use | and ~ a lot since I'm so terminal happy16:30
jrwrendito.16:31
jrwrenerr, ditto16:31
rick_h__so yea, this new one is a nice middle hopefully16:31
jrwrenthat lack of t may have been a membrane error :)16:31
rick_h__little bit bigger, get F keys and such, but still smaller and mechanical16:31
rick_h__heh16:31
jrwren$99 is steep though.16:31
jrwreni should rewire a 2001 for this desktop PC I'm using.16:31
rick_h__yea, but I convinced myself it was better than trying the topre switches16:32
rick_h__cheapest keyboard using those is $26516:32
jrwren$99 is worth it for as much as any of us type.16:32
rick_h__that's what I say. It's a real difference.16:32
jrwrenits just all of my monthly discressionary spending :)16:32
rick_h__yea, well fortunately I can only use a couple of keyboards at a time16:32
rick_h__so not often I get more than a couple a year16:32
jrwreni made a huge mistake of buying cheap wireless MS shit.16:33
jrwrenthen i was at the MS store a few months ago. all of thier KB are shit.16:33
rick_h__yea, gone downhill16:33
jrwrenhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Used-Focus-FK-2001-Vintage-Mechanical-Keyboard-/15055767861216:33
jrwrensomeone got a deal.16:33
rick_h__you can't get a decent keyboard in a store any more16:33
rick_h__I got their ms4000 or whatever16:34
rick_h__loved the layout, but the keys were just sponge crap16:34
rick_h__couldn't keep typos away for a single sentence16:34
jrwrenwireless comfort key 4000?  that is what I'm on right now. it is terrible.16:34
jrwrenand the mouse that came with it is the lowest res least acurate optical mouse I've ever used.16:34
rick_h__I got the wired, I'm anti wireless with input devices16:34
rick_h__I don't care how quick it 'wakes up' there's always lag/etc16:35
jrwrenyup16:35
rick_h__but yea, I've got some model M replica spring ones, this cherry mx, and the happy hacker which is ok, but that delete key issue :/16:37
rick_h__jrwren: if you need I've got some old MS naturals around16:37
rick_h__not mechanical, but were a decent keyboard from them16:38

snap-lheh, that's awesome. :)20:44
rick_h__yea, the 4g phones drain battery when they're setup for it. So if you don't need the speed, better to save it20:45
jcastrogreg-g: heh no worries, we were so stuffed from chophouse that we got sleepy20:50
