The best onscreen keyboard ever

I know I sounds like scuh a dork talking about my phone so much but its so amazing to have such an a moddable device again. The stock keyboard was okay but not as nice as the one on the iphone. Then I came across this one

The fact that its even a moddable features and that there are a lot of custom ones is so awesome.

This is by far the best on screen keyboard I have ever used. I though the iphone one was good, but this one blows it out of the water.

The prediction is just as good, the voice dictate button is nice, but the best part is the long press on the switch between number and letter brings up the most commonly used symbols which you can slide to. Well that and the regular keyboard can do all those other symbols and numbers you see with a long press.

The fact that you can grab the source

and change as desired makes it even more insane. That and that it is written in java. Its not that I love java so much but it is a skillset that open up many more doors than objective-C.

obsessed with peas

i love peas so much. this year i decided it us time to grow them. the question is how many pea plants do I need to plant in order to satisfy my craving? thia is my starting batch.

Or you can go to Urban Garden and check out their anti rabbit repellent. I think they have the urine scent stuff that scares them away.

I tried the marigold method and it didn't work.

uncutsaniflush writes at 09:30:42 05/14/10 - Comment #56252: Build yourself a rabbit proof fence that is at least 36 inches high. If Australia can do it, so can you. It may not be the most visually pleasing solution but it will work. Or contrariwise, maybe Basra will eat the rabbits. <eg>

metalpeter writes at 05:58:24 05/14/10 - Comment #56248: Don't do the anti freeze thing, and for a reason you aren't thinking of. Would Barsa go after the plants? If He does and the plants do bring rabbits what will happen between those. Do you like How rabbit tastes ? Just some things to think about that i don't have the answers to........

paul writes at 05:29:14 05/14/10 - Comment #56246: That's actually 12 plants but I agree, never enough.

heidi writes at 05:13:21 05/14/10 - Comment #56242: I'm not sure there are ever "enough" peas in a garden. Three plants will not be sufficient.

paul writes at 04:02:08 05/14/10 - Comment #56238: Oh freakin hell, we so many rabbits. I didn't think about that. Probably some little pans of antifreeze would work, just kidding. Maybe I will just grow them inside. Would that work?

janelle writes at 03:40:37 05/14/10 - Comment #56237: Do you have a plan to keep the rabbits away? I tried snow peas and every time they crept up, the rabbits mowed them back down. All summer until I tore the plants out.

Tinypliny's food survey answers

1. I drink about 1 and 1/2 gallons of whole milk per week. I also eat about 20grams protein worth of whey powder each morning with breakfast.
2. I eat a few slices of cheese each day but not a ton.
3. I use no creamer, besides milk I drink lots of juice mixed with water or just water - no coffee, sometimes herbal tea but barely.
4. I eat 1-1/2 cups of cooked rice every single day. I usually mix half brown/half white. More if you include rice cakes.
5. I eat 0.25 loaves of bread per week. Sometimes, like today, I do eat some bread. Usually, I do not.
6. I eat barely any pasta although I like rice noodles and mung bean noodles.
7. I eat meat everyday, most often fish, clams, shrimp, crab, squid, octopus. Occasionally lamb, chicken or steak. Usually lean but I do like some fat on steak. Not huge portions, accept for maybe shrimp. Sometimes I eat like 20 of them.
8. I almost never eat eggs. A couple years ago I ate eggs every single morning.

You forget to mention these but I eat a ton of vegetables and fruits everyday. Mostly, peas raw, celery, salad greens, string beans cooked, asparagus, strawberries, watermelon, citrus fruit, apples, dried apricots, olives, and blueberries.

I use almost no butter, I liberally pour olive oil on everything. Not so much cooked with olive oil but like poured on afterwards.

Also lots of nuts, especially cashews, almonds and pecans.

I eat almost no processed/packages/preserved food at all. The closest I get are like fig newmans and corn chips. I eat about 85% organic accept obviously not when I eat out. I use very few spices but those I do eat are rosemary, oregano, clove and cinnamon.

I also like to mix all my food together. I generally eat the most right before bed. I exercise at the gym about 3 times a week and walk around a bunch.
