| Robin_Watts | malc_: No. I've used an ergonomic keyboard for the past 20 years, so the idea of moving away is just bonkers to me. | 08:47.32 |
| malc_ | Robin_Watts: some form of MS ergonomical? | 08:53.52 |
| Robin_Watts | yeah. the ms natural keyboard originally (which I still have, but the space key is annoyingly knackered). I have a newer version of the same now. | 08:55.01 |
| | I really want exactly the same keyboard, but with better switches. | 08:55.38 |
| malc_ | Robin_Watts: there is a soviet comedy with your exact unachievable goals, it got the character into trouble :) | 08:56.41 |
| | the character was looking for for a bath robe for his wife... he wanted EAXACTLY that but with pearl buttons | 08:57.32 |
| kens | Personally I liked the original Mac oen the best, two wedges you could open and close | 08:58.18 |
| malc_ | and i con only suggest kinnetix and maltron... and there are plethora of split things but and i'm sure there are natural look alikes with cherry or some chinese clones | 08:58.25 |
| | kens: oen? | 08:58.45 |
| kens | one | 08:58.50 |
| malc_ | ah topy | 08:59.04 |
| kens | exactly | 08:59.20 |
| malc_ | i believe the "original" macs used alps switches | 09:00.15 |
| | hard to get given that alps is out of business | 09:00.27 |
| kens | I don't knwo I'm afraid it was a very long time ago. I did use the MS keyboard for many years, I ended up pounding two to death | 09:00.48 |
| malc_ | https://www.youtube.com/user/Chyrosran22 | 09:01.21 |
| | kens: you managed to pound rubber domes to death? | 09:01.45 |
| | that's quite a feat | 09:01.49 |
| kens | I type quite firmly :-) | 09:02.01 |
| malc_ | kens: i can only imagine tors scolding... | 09:10.52 |
| kens | Tor keeps trying to persuade me to get a better keyboard | 09:11.20 |
| malc_ | i bet it's realforce | 09:12.00 |
| kens | He's made several sugegstions, I really shuld do something about it | 09:12.26 |
| malc_ | i can only second the realforce one... | 09:12.50 |
| | topres are kewl | 09:13.03 |
| kens | I'd go for an ergonomic one if I ever get round to changing | 09:13.26 |
| malc_ | kens: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ergonomical%20mechanical%20keyboard&search=Search | 09:28.10 |
| | not a ergonomic user myself so that's the best thing i can do | 09:28.27 |
| kens | Yes, there are still a lot of them around | 09:28.55 |
| malc_ | kens: we have https://geekboards.ru/ so i just go to their showroom and try stuff out | 09:30.59 |
| kens | I'd probably have to go to London | 09:31.23 |
| malc_ | eh? aren't all eglishmen live in london already? and the country side is left to the celts? | 09:32.09 |
| kens | Who are you calling English ? O.O | 09:32.42 |
| malc_ | hides... SORRY! | 09:33.14 |
| kens | will let you off with a warning | 09:33.25 |
| malc_ | it's Robin who's engilsh | 09:33.31 |
| | THANKS! | 09:33.39 |
| kens | Yes Robin is very English | 09:33.41 |
| malc_ | could just feel his life hanging by a thread | 09:34.22 |
| | feal | 09:34.38 |
| kens | No feel is correct | 09:34.47 |
| malc_ | kewl! | 09:34.53 |
| | i should learn myself some scotts or at least glaswegian | 09:35.30 |
| kens | Scots is a dialect of English, the language of Scotland is Gaelic | 09:36.03 |
| | Which unfortunately wasn't taught in school in my childhood | 09:36.30 |
| sebras | kens: there is a slight risk that you'd be considered english over here. or possibly american. | 09:38.21 |
| kens | More than slight I'd have thought | 09:38.33 |
| sebras | kens: I was trying to be polite. :) | 09:38.43 |
| kens | Well I couldn't tell the difference between two native Chinese speakers ferom different provinces speaking Madarin, so I can't really complain | 09:39.14 |
| sebras | kens: I do know how to say scotland in chinese though! it sounds like sugarland. :) | 09:39.37 |
| | kens: nope, most people living in .uk probably can't (except beijing vs taiwan I can't either! :) ). | 09:40.32 |
| kens | Still more than I could manage | 09:40.46 |
| kens | is heading out for a run | 09:40.55 |
| malc_ | beijing? a city? vs? taiwan? the island? wtf?? | 09:41.12 |
| malc_ | crawls back to his hole | 09:41.19 |
| kens | Why not / London has different accents too | 09:41.28 |
| | And even Cockney rhyming slang..... | 09:41.41 |
| sebras | malc_: yeah, I was talking about accents, not the land itself. | 09:42.01 |
| malc_ | Cockney is not a language but abomination upon the lord | 09:42.06 |
| | there is only received pronunciation | 09:42.23 |
| | sebras: gotcha | 09:42.34 |
| | my bad | 09:42.35 |
| kens | Hardly anyone outside the aristocracy does received pronunciation these days | 09:43.02 |
| | Even teh Queen has changed; he accent is different to 70 years ago | 09:43.28 |
| malc_ | BBC people have to, no? | 09:43.34 |
| kens | Oh no, not since ages | 09:43.44 |
| malc_ | damn | 09:43.53 |
| kens | That's so last millenium | 09:43.54 |
| | There was a concerted effort to get mor regional accents into the BBC in the 1980s I think it was. | 09:44.36 |
| | I don't think they bother any more, whatever accent you've got is fine | 09:44.46 |
| sebras | kens: you were heading out for a run, don't let us hold you up. :) | 09:46.33 |
| kens | I'm going, honest.... | 09:46.42 |
| malc_ | kens: on the second floor of the house is bergen where first floor was rented for me lived a bunch of english construction workers... i could barely understand them | 09:46.50 |
| kens | Just had a thought and needed to look at the PDF Reference | 09:46.51 |
| | malc_: they were probably putting it on to confuse you :-) | 09:47.13 |
| malc_ | nah they were honest to god straight blokes from (Manchester was it?) | 09:47.39 |
| | :) anyhoo good run | 09:47.46 |
