New Term!

Whooo!!! Last classes are finally over! ^O^ augh those classes were painful, haha. Anyway on to my new term!

Anyway! I have an ESP Maverick heading my way!!! :O yeah I know, awesome huh?! It's a black one (boo) with a maple fretboard (yay!) so I'm excited about getting it. I'm going to try to get a decal for the headstock so I can refinish it ;) because the finish isn't the best on it the guy said so I'll have to repaint it. Plus I can make it a fun colour!! I'm thinking purple, that would really be awesome with the maple, but I dunno it might end up something totally different.

I have slightly under $350 in my paypal account so I need to fortify that amount in order to buy that IBM I was talking about a bit ago. I got all excited when I went to their site and saw a free shipping on the used stuff then I noticed it was on "PCs" and of course I want something in the "UNIX Servers" section :gonk: oh well haha.


I got the 4-button (and final non-wheel) Mouseman the other day, it turns out that it's got a PS/2 connector! How weird is that, I would have thought it was USB as my Mouseman+ was...oh well. Anyway the middle button and thumb button register the same event in xev! how lame is that? Oh well it was a good mouse to get anyhow. It's kind of sun colours and is grey with a purple grip.

HHKP Lite & Logitech Mouseman

Another one of my millions of eBay purchases, I got a PFU Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite, the original Lite model without the arrow keys, and the 2nd generation of the Logitech Mouseman, the one with the thumb indentation. I have the 3rd generation one coming to me as well but it hasn't arrived yet. The 3rd is the final generation imo, they kept the name going for one mouse without naming the wheel. The Cordless Mouseman Optical is this mouse and a disgrace to the Mouseman name, it fails so bad it's incomprehensible why they tarnished the name with it. Anyway, the 3rd gen Mouseman Wheel and 4th gen Mouseman Wheel (the blue one) are great and pretty much the best ergonomic mice ever.

Well the HHKB is cool, the membrane under the keys is the same as the SGI USB keyboards so they are pretty nice. The keys and "stalk" under them are one piece on this one whereas they are 2 pieces on the SGI ones (removable keys). The action is better on the SGI and the control key sticks a bit on the HHKB.

The Mouseman is as I remember, very comfortable and perfect to use. I wish it had a scroll wheel in-between the index and middle finger buttons but oh well :P I think I might try to mod one in there sometime...>__>

This guy has the Wingman mouse which I've been wanting to get forever, I don't even remember if there was a difference, but who doesn't want a grey mouse with a black cable?
