[11:28:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> !quote 306
[11:28:06] <Bender> Quote 306 - <crutchy> SirFinkus, a lot of progressive idiots blame problems they've caused on capitalism
[11:28:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> I thought that the wireless keyboard I had here at work had died
[11:29:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> Turns out that Windows had just decided that it didn't want to accept input from USB-connected keyboards (but didn't have a problem with the one built in to the laptop)
[11:30:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> I took the wireless one home yesterday and brought a shitty Dell one in with me today; now I'm pretty sure that the good wireless one will work but I'm stuck with this POS for all of today.
[11:32:08] <chromas> At least you get the good one when you get home
[11:33:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> I gave brief but serious consideration to bringing my PS/2 connector equipped Model M in instead of the Dell one, but I decided that I don't hate my co-workers *that* much.
[11:34:14] <chromas> I'm sure they did something to deserve at least one day of it
[11:36:54] <boru> Glorious. The keyboard I'm designing at the moment is PS/2, mechanical switch.
[11:37:05] <boru> PS/2 is far superior than USB HID.
[11:37:11] <boru> s/than/to/
[11:37:11] <sedctl> <boru> PS/2 is far superior to USB HID.
[11:37:14] <exec> <boru> PS/2 is far superior to USB HID.
[11:37:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, it's not about the hate. it's about the awesome.
[11:38:11] <boru> When he's right, he's right.
[11:39:00] <boru> Allow your hate to reach equilibrium, such that it is evenly distributed amongst your coworkers, then there is only relative awesomeness.
[11:40:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> "got hate in your heart? let it out! white power!" -- Dave Chappelle
[11:41:06] <chromas> Black white supremacists unite!
[11:41:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> this keyboard really is shit, too
[11:42:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> I may have to run home after the 9:30 meeting and grab the wireless one to use for the rest of the day
[11:42:11] <chromas> squishy rubber bubbles underneath?
[11:42:16] <boru> Or perform keyboard surgery.
[11:42:24] <boru> Yeah, remove the o-rings/pads.
[11:42:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, except for the insufficiently-squishy bubbles under the space and left shift keys
[11:43:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> which means I have to pound the everloving shit out of those keys to get the keypresses to register
[11:43:57] <boru> Sounds annoying. You should consider the boruboard. Invest! Invest!
[11:44:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> bubbles == a good name for a stripper but a bad idea for a keyboard.
[11:44:16] <boru> ~grab TheMightyBuzzard
[11:44:20] <chromas> chicks with clicks
[11:44:25] <boru> One of you bots had better start grabbing.
[11:44:26] <chromas> !grab TheMightyBuzzard
[11:44:26] <Bender> Added quote 826
[11:44:34] <boru> Ah.
[11:44:42] <boru> I knew it was one of them.
[11:44:47] <chromas> it's okay, I started typing ~ too out o' habit I guess
[11:45:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> boru: I've seriously considered building my own custom keyboard
[11:45:15] <boru> That's a terrible idea. You should invest in the boruboard.
[11:46:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> apparently there's an Arduino sketch out there that will let use one of those as a USB HID device
[11:46:56] <boru> You really don't want to do that. USB HID is truly awful. I've spec'd out an actual PCB, and you'll be able to flash your own firmware and specify custom keymaps on-board with mine.
[11:47:01] * TheMightyBuzzard stealthily adds #grab to mrplow's next update
[11:47:06] <boru> Arduino is truly awful.
[11:47:19] <cmn32480> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[11:47:20] * exec skeptically allocates a tablespoon of cheesy poofs for TheMightyBuzzard
[11:47:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday cmn32480
[11:47:30] * exec disturbingly sodomizes a C cup of Ubuntu "Epileptic Elephant" with cmn32480
[11:47:51] <boru> You're limited by the size of USB HID packets, as well, so you have to use a hack to get around the 6-key rollover limit.
[11:47:59] <boru> Whereas with PS/2, that problem doesn't exist.
[11:48:11] <boru> i.e. N-key rollover with PS/2.
[11:48:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Arduino is a fun toy and sufficiently okay, cheap, and easy for personal projects; but I wouldn't want to use one as a controller on any serious projects that I thought had commercial potential.
[11:48:31] <boru> FWIW, you can bitbang PS/2 over a few GPIOs pretty easily.
[11:49:24] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs and just slaps a usb->ps2 adapter on the end of his keyboard
