Well, I have the opposite feeling of being one of the older regular members of DT :mrgreen:
Anybody willing to identify himself on the group photo?

3 Germans are easily spotted if you seen the Berlin photo. And a certain mouse pad.

Good planning. Nothing sadder than getting drool on your keyboards.

She recently gave birth to a beautiful daughter so I guess you guys understand the reason for her absence :-)

I'll forward her the lovely hands remark, she'll like that :lol:

Erm....I'd ask who the father is but I have heard of these European open marriages.

In America you can only do that if you are Mormon like one of our presidential candidates. We call it "Family Values".

On that 'donor board' granted to me by CeesA from MrInterface:
Now bearing the old blues from Ascaii (thanks to him an webwit), but with (old?) black springs;
funnily enough they seem to combine decently paired with old worn switchbottoms, of which the metal leaf has worn (guessing it's been in the rain or something for some time, the stabilizer bars were very rusty as well).
Has been fashioned with an actual cable, and good-condition case, from an Schneider MY board; both fit like a glove.
And grond's stabilizers are now on it, couldn't find the old ones, seem to have misplaced those... :?
Now cleaning caps (also from Ascaii through his DS sale) so I can put her to work.

:o Did mine just happen to be in the shot of the Focus, or does the stabilizermod+pcb_browns really warrant the title 'OneOfTheBestKeyboardsOf2012' in your opinion?

or was it the board with old blacks that got overrun that warranted the shot?

Good moment to say it again: that blueish case... awesome work CeesA.

When I remember right (toedsenbord) it is pronounced the same way as the German ups and the English oops.

http://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/oeps
No entry for ups.

As someone who grew up in Somerset, I can honestly say that it's not too far away from the truth.

The 'mol' is a piece of art related to the railway tunnel it's on top of.....
