He sawed out a center portion of the desk, over some wide supports, used the plywood he bought to make some skookum risers, and then placed the cut center portion on top of the risers. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Indiscernible from Magic Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:06:19 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5277&msg_id=5283 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5277&msg_id=5281 Is it adjustable? Corvus bought a bunch of stand up desks, and I love the variability depending on my level of energy/soreness. For Tuesdays.

One of my coworkers was asking for one and wasn't getting a yea or nay, just waffling. He brought his power tools and some spare plywood one weekend, and went to town on his desk, and made it a standup. Pretty awesome. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Indiscernible from Magic Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:46:36 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5277&msg_id=5278 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5277&msg_id=5277 SPDCA: Keyboards I've been using a Macbook at home now for a few years, which means I've been typing primarily on a Mac-layout keyboard (different locations for the "system" keys, and on laptops, a lack of the keypad and Home/End/etc. key group. Prior to that, it was the IBM Thinkpad A31 (from 2003-2008), featuring useless media/search/whatever buttons, and the indomitable mouse nub (which I loved): Prior to that, it was my IBM mechanical keyboard (2003 and before), which was my parents' foremost reason for sending me off to college (CLACK CLACK. CLACK CLACK CLACK.): My IBM mechanical met a grisly demise as part of a Halloween costume, and my Thinkpad has been decommissioned since its memory module cracked in half and I got a new Macbook (which, in the last week, met with hard drive failure, which I haven't had time to address). I've been trying to use my ASUS Eee 1215N Netbook kicker (a small Linux laptop I've been toting back and forth to work to watch TV at lunch), but the keyboard is constrained, and the touchpad is at once overly sensitive when trying to type over it and ignorant of your repeated strokes when you intend them. While I'm getting my Macbook back in order, I've switched to using my Mac Mini at home, with a terrible, generic, "ergonomic" Dell keyboard. I'm not even going to try to find a screenshot. But I can tell you that having been torn away from good keyboards, it makes using a computer all that much worse, particularly if you rely heavily on keyboard commands. After making a trip to Best Buy to get a DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, I found this guy (Logitech K750) in the tiny "Mac Accessories" shelf in the back. Turns out, this is a really, really nice keyboard. The fact that it is solar powered is entertaining, but the Logitech folks actually did a decent job replicating the feel of a Mac kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Indiscernible from Magic Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:52:10 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5277&msg_id=5277
