[13:29] <wrst> going well, how about RagnarokAngel?
[13:29] <RagnarokAngel> alright. living up here is getting draining though
[13:30] <wrst> where are you at now?
[13:30] <RagnarokAngel> Cumberland Gap
[13:31] <RagnarokAngel> a whole 3 minutes from Harrogate. :-p
[13:31] <wrst> ahh I know the area some what
[13:31] <wrst> been there long?
[13:32] <RagnarokAngel> 4 years
[13:32] <wrst> oh
[13:32] <RagnarokAngel> between the Gap and Harrogate
[13:32] <wrst> thought you had just gotten there
[13:33] <RagnarokAngel> nah, stayed here after graduating
[13:34] <RagnarokAngel> my new keyboard just got here!!! WOOOO!!!
[13:34] <RagnarokAngel> the software to program it came on a floppy XD
[13:38] <RagnarokAngel> does anyone have experience using programmable keyboards under Linux?
[13:39] <wrst> I sure don't :)
[13:39] <wrst> who has a floppy drive still? :)
[13:39] <RagnarokAngel> hehe, the manufacturer provides a download
[13:40] <RagnarokAngel> now I've got 112 keys to get programming
[13:41] <wrst> can't you do that in linux anyway with keymapping or something along those lines ?
[13:41]  * wrst has never done that but thought it was in xorg or something
[13:42] <RagnarokAngel> yeah, I've messed with xkb a bit
[13:42] <RagnarokAngel> this is actually a point of sale board
[13:43] <wrst> ahhh
[13:43] <RagnarokAngel> so I have a card reader and the keys can send back multiple codes in sequence if I want
[13:51] <RagnarokAngel> if you're interested here's what I got http://is.gd/8fuSY3
[13:52] <wrst> itneresting
[13:54] <RagnarokAngel> I wanted to get a TypeMatrix kb
[13:55] <RagnarokAngel> but I thought I could hack something together with matrix aligned keys.
[14:00] <RagnarokAngel> I can macro up to 32 characters per key.

[14:44] <RagnarokAngel> this manual has gem sentences like "It is also recommended to connect an external PC or PS2 keyboard during the task programming this programmable keyboard for the best convenience though not being a must."
