Late to the party, perhaps, but... orange! Keyboard form: http://terminals.classiccmp.org/wiki/images/thumb/3/31/ADDS_Envoy-4.jpg/800px-ADDS_Envoy-4.jpg But I like the white legends of the PDP-8/E. At least, I think this has orange; I'm colorblind, so... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/common...

M-Beat - Do You Know Where You're Coming From? ft. Jamiroquai (1996)

Been gone a while, but thanks for your music, y'all! I love catching up on this thread; there's always something interesting. Here's what I've been digging on: 2Ynj2lBHV_0 Not sure yet if these guys can't figure out their sound, or if they are destined to be genre hoppers, but their latest album is ...

Ha, thanks all – I'm glad I didn't spend any money for it! So far, I can't stand having it lock my display, since I keep bumping it in moving my feet around to get comfortable. I've set it up so it beeps at me when I hit the buttons, and now I'm realizing both how hard it is to hit it reliably, and ...

Okay, so I randomly ended up with a three-button foot pedal ( Olympus RS-28 ). I've just got it plumbed through AutoHotKey, so I can make each button do anything! Now, what to do with it? Lots of folks have the questions "how to make a pedal do X" (have purpose, want pedal), but there doesn't seem t...

Playin' it safe: LQj--Kjn0z8 This one had me tearing my hair out wondering which song it was after hearing that mellow Pianet [sic] sound in an advertising clip: it68QbUWVPM Two intros basically the same, a half step apart? Needs a mash-up. ::off to search the interwebs:: ...Of course, turns out I'...

Pretty new track from 20syl:
Thanks Mu for the number count; here's an article I found on it that shed some light on its mysterious origins: http://daddytypes.com/2008/03/19/recove ... _count.php

Eastside here, mildly upset that I missed this in March. Thanks for the necro thread!

I like that the bows are delimited in degrees Centigrade. No imperial degrees here! ::geometry head explode::

Fine looking caps, Mu! Nice and tall.

Speaker blowout from Dimlite: OyX10CJ-Py4 ETA: Re: ABX test Much better: http://abx.digitalfeed.net/ Loved that this player has default keybindings for Dvorak layout. Thanks for sharing! (I probably can't tell, by the way -- I suspect my bottleneck is in my $15 Koss KSC75 headphones, but they sound ...

If you Brits had a real letter 'R' sound, maybe this wouldn't be an issue...

ETA: Rhoticity ftw!

Didn't get much of it the first time I looked through it, but e.g. 11->14 grows on me with time.

All right, replying to myself because I can't help it.

Q: Why didn't the Haskell function fit in with his family?

A favorite from college days:

Q: Why couldn't the lisp function go out at night?

This thread is off topic! Oh, wait... Well, anyway, I cycle too! In my neck of America (Pacific Northwest) there's a lot of road biking, so drivers are cognizant of cyclists. That said, my bike's not nearly as fancy as most around here: it's a 1995 Giant hybrid that I got off Craigslist for $150 las...

Used ion back in my Linux days. It was last updated in 2009, but still ongoing while I was in the crowd. Looks like there's still an active fork: Notion (Sidenote: "not-ion"? Oh, Linux folks, when will your project names stop sounding like bad dad humor? I only wish I didn't chuckle at them.) Now ma...

Thanks for the electric piano notes -- I think those things are fascinating!

::now listening to piano demos::

I use this great little Chrome add-in called Page Monitor that auto-checks the page every five minutes and pings me when something changes.

Nice choices! Enjoy the orange and yellow -- fruit colors.

"Zollamt" is a pretty awesome word and wouldn't be bad for a villain... Anyway, good luck!

ETA: Don't print out this part of the thread! :S

Doozy Dimlite!

I was going to track the package and post updates, but Ascaii has done a great job of that. Can't wait to see what you guys think!

... and the European contingent goes wild! I hope you guys love it.

I was going to make a comment about the SurpriseBox being halfway through its route, but that seems to not be the case---there are a lot of Europeans on this board! Or maybe Americans don't like to be surprised...

...or its ALPS. You know, 'cause those could be in there, too.

What I took out: DSC_9411.JPG * Shiny metal dragon keycap (looks like a silver tooth on my Granite Ergodox) * Several DSA blanks of blue and grey hue * One plastic ring keypuller (always just had handmade ones before; what luxury!) * Two MX switches (I had no spares since I bought my Ergodox second-...

Package posted to Ascaii. Pictures forthcoming; I left them at home.

Going back in time with Flying Lotus Someone pointed me at "You're Dead!" and I was very, very impressed. Where do you think I might want to start on the back catalog? I love the sounds in 1983 (album, not track in particular); it is different (more glitchy?) than "You're Dead!", but still has the ...

I've been scooped! :O Yep, package arrived yesterday (on my front porch, too; creepy!). I've already got Ascaii's address and have added my contributions. I'm engaged today in finding a suitable box for it -- the one it arrived in had a blown-out corner and is therefore not suitable for transoceanic...
