Helped out a friend who's strapped for $$$ by paying her to give me a good ol'fashioned barbershop shave. Feels smoother than obsidian! That's smooth, right?

Promotion at work. Extra money, extra responsibility. It will eventually mean no more working directly with the kids. I have mixed emotions about that part.

I win at this job

Although it is re-confirming the life-long suspicion that old men really like me for some reason. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

My cousin is graduating from Sapper school today. I'm incredibly proud. I hope they give her some cussers.

I have my internetz back! Woohoo! No running through the house with the laptop balanced on one arm just to read my emails!

Ha we know what's on Bliss's mind!

No-brainer. Everyone wants to know what it's like to poop in space.

We've just booked a weeks holiday on a narrow boat - plan is to do the Oxford South, reckoned to be one of the most scenic. A week of gently puttering from canalside pub to canalside pub taking in the country, woo.

Many books will be required I think, considered started a complete SE re-read but that much paper may well sink the boat.

Now we just have to hope summer shows its face for more than a day or two!

MECHANICAL KEYBOARD FTW!!!!

Hehehhe, this is sooooo awesome! I just purchased a new desk for my room, which is eventually going to have a desktop computer, speakers, a nicely sized monitor (eventually-er, two of them, probably 23") and so forth, but atm I'm just connecting my keyboard to my laptop which is sitting where the screen will live. The clacking is just...indescribably awesome~! And the feel...this is going to ruin me for my work keyboards, unfortunately. (At least my laptop's keyboard was more-or-less full-size, so I'm not suffering too much "new keyboard syndrome", unlike when I had my little Alienware with it's midget keyboard...work keyboards probably also help. XD)

OH GOD. SO MUCH WIN JUST TYPING THIS POST!! All you regular keyboard users: you don't know what you're missing out on (or there is something wrong with you)!

[Satan]

I do know what I'm missing out on. This island style keyboard often used on new, slim laptops (like mine) is horrible to type on. Especially if you're used to mechanical ones, as I've got at work and my old laptop.

Last night, at my grandfather's beach house, I had the most mind-bogglingly clear night.

I looked up at the sky, and then suddenly it was 20 minutes later, and my neck hurt.

Something you never really get to see in the city.

Ok Sil for us comp illiterate people what is a mechanical keyboard? Lol

Ahhh. Essentially the keys are activated by a mechanical switch (think a sliding piston kind of deal) being depressed rather than in most "regular" keyboards a rubber dome is more-or-less squashed to complete the circuit. So it gives you a really tactile key depression seeing as the action is more defined and, well...mechanical. XD Plus if you get certain types they "click" really quite loudly too due to the action.

If you want a more detailed explanation (the overview is good, too) in a more informed manner than I can relate briefly here, I highly recommend this guide on overclock.net.

They're the old fashioned keyboards everyone had on their desktop before laptops. Compared to the slender versions of keyboards common now-a-days, mechanical keyboards have (for the most part) glorious tactility and travel time. After years of shallow laptop keyboards, it may take a little time to get used to, but once you've picked one up you'll never want to go back.

Or, you know, that.

It's sooooooooo goood.

Finally home after a long weekend at the beachhouse.

Having a beer, feeling somewhat adequate.

My dad, my uncle and I moved ~a ton (2000 lbs) of sand that had washed into the driveway (which is the hazard of property that's on the beach). (EDIT) We really should have rented a bobcat.

So now the driveway is nice and serviceable, at least until the next big storm.

See, there is a reason I bought this keyboard
I am glad you like

Had a busy but good previous few days.
Spent two days helping two friends move their places into the new one they're at together. This included a literal truckload to the tip, which was fun to unload. We got all the moving done, and then I browbeat them into letting us help them set up their main room (currently trialling it as a lounge/study/dining room like I have at my place). This was so they had at least one room mostly done (helped them put the bed back together too), so they can have somewhere to sit and to eat etc. I think they were glad for it
I am also pleased because while I was pretty worn out, I was still surprisingly energetic come the end of it all (I was really the only one keen to move MORE stuff around to get that room done).
Then had a relaxing day, followed by a fun evening at Wolfy's place playing Hero Quest for the first time in about 10-12 years We totally almost died just on the first level
And yesterday we went to Shiara's parent's place for dinner and a movie, which was good.

Getting chills watching this. To sum up, Patrick Stewart is more of a legend than I thought!
