Unfortunately, not everyone agrees... Which leads to bloated, slow and hard to understand programs. I strongly agree with your last point :) .

Thanks for following up. I guess I've had my new keyboard about five months now, so let me think... I am both happy with the decision to buy a mechanical keyboard, and the decision to buy the specific keyboard I did. I have no regrets about that. I made the right decision about getting a keyboard without a number pad. I don't miss it at all, and greatly appreciate the extra desk space. I can't think of a single negative issue I have with it. It's in perfect working order. I expect it to stay that way for many many years, due to the nature of good mechanical keyboards. The key layout is great. My "penguin keys" look and work great. It feels good and looks good. I don't think I can think of anything I would change about this keyboard. It might be exciting to try another type of switch, such as Cherry MX blue, but I've been happy with the decision to buy a keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches. In regards to what it feels like to type for a long period of time, it's difficult for to say. I definitely like the feel of the keys, much more than the regular keyboards I use at work. I don't think my mechanical keyboard helps me make fewer mistakes. I do feel like I can type a little faster though, as if my fingers "glide" from key to key. The keys need very little effort to register a key press, so that's nice. I still agree with everything I wrote in the original post. I am happy with my purchase and feel it was worth the money. I don't think everyone will agree, but that's my opinion. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Oh, I forgot about this little review I gave of my new keyboard! Thanks for following up.

Does it still feel like a good purchase? Have you had any issues using it? What's it feel like typing over a long period of time? Thanks Hi,

Guessing you’ve used this a lot more since the post and I was wondering what you thought of it now.

Does it still feel like a good purchase?
Have you had any issues using it?
What’s it feel like typing over a long period of time?

Thanks

I've thought about doing something similar but I have concerns such as uptime and bandwidth usage. If my computer ever loses Internet connection, my site goes down. If traffic mucks things up, I have to deal with the issue myself. On top of it all, I'm not able to check on my site all hours of the day. Much of that is easier for me to delegate to a webhost that I pay very little to. It all depends on your needs. For just a personal family-oriented site, your solution is a great one. What a neat project to work on. I may yet still do it myself one day... Go Dave! I’ve thought about doing something similar but I have concerns such as uptime and bandwidth usage.

]]> Comment on Why I started using Haiku by drcouzelis http://archlinux.me/drcouzelis/2010/08/23/why-i-started-using-haiku/#comment-13 drcouzelis Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:49:54 +0000 http://archlinux.me/drcouzelis/?p=36#comment-13 Thank you for the comment. In regards to software development for Haiku, besides making a native version of my video game for Haiku, I recently thought of a nice project to help me (and hopefully others) ease into Haiku application development. I will be making a collection of very small applications, each showing one feature of the Haiku API. That way, anyone can take them and either study them or use them as a base to start writing a new application. I applied for a project page on osdrawer.net, but haven't heard from them yet. Thank you for the comment.
