stormdogI had to send my Kinesis back to the factory for repair. That row of keys stopped working again and reseating the keywell didn't fix it. Man I miss my keyboard. If it weren't for the car expense coming up, I'd buy one for use at home too.
I think I may put in an order for a USB foot pedal today. I can find them for thirty bucks, so that's not a huge expense. I'll map shift onto it, and then map the shift key to something like tab to take some strain off of my left pinky finger. I think it's overextension of the pinky that causes a lot of the soreness in my left hand.
After going to the arcade auction and playing some of the pinball tables there, then playing the Captain Fantastic and Monte Carlo tables that my grandparents have a few times, I'm starting to obsess a little bit on pinball. I was out on the internet reading wikipedia articles on pinball and poking through the Internet pinball database at the different tables I know. The next time I visit my grandparents, I have to look and see whether their Captain Fantastic table has the stars on the backglass (they put them there on later production runs to cover the 'risque' parts of the art) or not. I know it doesn't have the super rare orange rollover switches, but I don't seem to recall seeing any stars on it.
I was listening to The Who's Pinball Wizard last night, and today I've been poking through pinball skill sites off and on. When I get stuck on something, I really get stuck on something.
