if you're not stuck on getting a dslr, i've been reading into the Sony NEX line quite a bit, and i'm currently torn between a 5N and an F3. There's limited glass options for them right now, but Sony is committed to bringing more out for the E mount, and there's going to be a few 3rd part options lat...

order submitted!

anyone who has half a brain knows this isn't a money making endevor, and iMav made it more than clear he was loosing money on geekhack long before it went down. that's why i started up the donation thread. After all that nonsense, the site goes down and you guys do nothing to get in contact with us;...

Between the lower production numbers, the higher quality control, and PBT/Dyesub process... it's a premium product at a premium price. That being said... I doubt that it's actually physically worth a penny more than $200, but there's enough people between us and RealForce that need to pay bills, and...

Just FYI, part of the reason we are being silent is because we are still dealing with attacks. Between that, hardware changes, and schedule constraints (day jobs), progress has been a little slow. Some work has been done in parallel at other sites, in the meantime. No offence... but that's complete...

See, now Silat can take some lessons from Harrison on how to effectively get a point across without sounding like a whinebox. Constructive analysis of the situation. From my perspective, I imagine the people putting this back together have full-time jobs and families and other responsibilities that...

I appreciate that GeekHack no longer looks like it gotten caught on the side of road with it's pants around it's ankles... I personally think it's been somewhat inexcusable that no outward communication has taken place to the user base outside of this forum though. And just about 2 weeks late. Agree...

My new favorite, Roboto http://developer.android.com/design/media/typography_main.png http://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html Google took a LOT of flak from the font community regarding Roboto. I like the look of it as well, but the opinions about it out there are pretty aggressive.

glad to see your content out there, the blog looks great.

curious about your recent ergo-mod from MMB... what lube was used, and where on stems was it applied? do you notice a difference between them and your white filco with ergos (not sure if they were lube'd)? also, what spring went in the grey?

I like Consolas, too notice the italic variant is not simply a skewed regular Now compare the 'i' in those lines... imho way too straight. i agree, actually... the italic i is too straight in Consolas, but otherwise, i like it quite a bit and use it more or less across the board. Anything to get ri...

I hadn't been following the thread here, but rather the one on GH. I'm not sure if there had been any discussion on the teensy in this thread or another one on DT, but will there be any i/o pins unused? I'd like to hook up a pot and setup a volume controller, but I can't recall if there's going to ...

Don't see entitlement and elitism myself. Webwit put together a temp area so people could stay in touch while the other site is down. But rather than taking a little time to climatise and fit into the surroundings and the people, it's been a case of geekhack with a different URL. Most won't get the...

in my experience dealing with forum clashes like this in the past, there's usually two issues going on, and they're absolutely going on now and here: entitlement and elitism. many of the GH users feel entitled to a home. the DT crowed has always come off with an elitist attitude (not that there's an...

Gotta say, that minimalistic theme looks like a very unpolished version of DT; and not what I'd call minimalistic personally. i don't disagree... i think we need to make sure there's a visual independence from DT, since the forum layout and design here is quite unique. while i like a clean minimali...

my wife doesn't care if the keyboard has a number pad or not, she's used to typing on a laptop... but she can't stand that i've got black engraved PBT keys because she can't touch-type numbers. shouldn't be much of an issue once i've got my phantom built, since i'll be using cherry PBTs on it.

I'm pretty sure the Info bars are customization by the user, and it's just up to you what is displayed in them by default. I agree though... it's a lot of space, but I'd personally collapse them (which is one of my favorite features of those themes, and why I prefer to start with an existing one) so...

for what it's worth, the two themes I was re-hashing were the following: darkTed R http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=1708;id=9981;image and blackTed 2 http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=1675;id=9968;image both of these could ...

My friend helped me draft up a simple color scheme based on the theme used by deskthority. I like the black/orange of geekhack but always thought that the orange was a bit overwhelming. Batcat is not included, I just thought it was cute since it's black/orange too lol. http://i.imgur.com/GNu0J.png ...

qft!

Would have to add that I haven't seen any pc cases built on there (which is one of those other big diy-communities)...

that will change... i've got a work-in-progress that just needs to be documented.

I just setup my pi today running RaspBMC. Really impressed.

So, it looks like Ducky has finally released some details on their anticipated 90xx series 10keyless keyboard. y3T-39IP1NY Ducky Dragon 2012 Limited edition, the most sparkling keyboard with high quality built-in LED backlit, with On/Off Dip Switch to define the functions of the keyboard. Features D...

I hope Ripster sets up his own forum, shame that it won't have the Tapatalk plug in.... You guys keep saying that. LAST thing the world needs is a MediaWiki here, a GH Wiki there, and a RipsterGuide Somewhere Else. It's this kind of thin skinned iMav/WebWit/sixty bickering that slows down the WEST ...

In other news Geekhack is FINALLY figuring out why I SpamOmaticed Harrison out of existence last month.

Lol, Harrison is going to make up his 1000 lost posts in one thread! Calls me a spammer! Let it go dude, I PM'd you, apologized publicly and your comments do not suit the new friendlier Geekhack. And everyone here knows what a douche Stalker KL can be! i've moved on, but that's not to say i don't f...

This signals the end of an era. I said I will miss him and now he calls me a douche at Deskthority. I'm thinking I probably won't miss him too much after all. Lol. agreed. it's a little over the top... and i don't think i referred to your posts as 'spam' but rather 'trail of ****' ;) afaik, spam is...

that's what i thought too, but my buddy got confirmation on 4 of them (one of which will be mine)

o-rings under heatshrink? i like the idea! If that is all there is to this version, I don't see how it could hold a cable VERY well at all.. The kinks in the path of any internal cable pull nullification system are there to catch the pulls, but this I can only see sliding off the cable; could be me...
