Keyboards
I reviewed it on Amazon. In short, I like how the keyboard feels and sounds (not quiet but tolerable). But I mistype on this keyboard often because the spacing is somewhat non-standard.
I tried out this Azio keyboard and hated it.
The noise factor was okay but the keyboard was too hard to type on and fatiguing. Plus it was glossy and retained fingerprints.
Then I got this logitech K120 yesterday.
It is just a classic keyboard with well spaced out keys so that mistakes are minimum and you get everthing right at the very first type. But it is not quiet as they say. Its not quiet at all. All the clackety clatter is very much there. I think it has got noisier from yesterday. That is exactly what happened to my earlier M$shit keyboard. The racket steadily increased over the years till I had to drown the sound out with heavy metal or full orchestras. Chopin was completely out of the question. I am afraid this keyboard might be headed the same way.
I am pretty torn. Do I care more about precision or do I care more about the sound. Or should I just hold on to the noisier but more precise keyboard and just suffer through the noise?
Both keyboards are a pleasure to type on though. They hardly require any effort. Both are not entirely quiet but I prefer the sound of the chiclet keyboard rather than the clackety noise of the logitech k120 (I wonder what the people who think this is quiet were smoking!).
For now, I have two of the unbranded silky chiclet keyboards and the classic logitech k120. I returned the Azio. I think I am holding on to the chiclet keyboard but I am not sure what to do with the logitech keyboard yet. I am typing on it now, hardly making any mistakes but I am not liking the noise at all.

Mayor abducted by aliens...
The hostile mothership was last seen speeding over the Erie lake towards the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

Cue "The X-Files" tune!
The truth is OUT THERE!
It's some vodka called Hangar One and it's on a multi-city tour. Today was its Buffalo day. Seems like you will get a chance to see it eerily floating over Erie tomorrow as well as Sunday.

Netinstall debian with XFCE
(From omnsproject blog: )
Clean and minimalist netinstall Debian with XFCE 4.8 featuring transparencies that work, highly non-technical customizable menus that can be shifted easily to the right side and most importantly, no unexplained freeze-ups and cursor changes right in the middle of a coding session which force me to reboot either RStudio or the system altogether. *sigh*

Round and Round
Though I am guessing downtown Buffalo does pretty well on its own without this reminder on a Friday evening.

Keithsayer. Take 2.
Seriously, what is with that conspiracy-theory look? I dug this pic up to see if you really had a big nose as you claimed.
You don't. Most people in that sample frame have as big or even bigger noses than you do.
Well... except for that girl who is sitting on the grass. She really does have a rather compact nose.

How do I get rid of the titlebar in Gnome 3?
So the question is how do I get rid of all titlebars in Gnome 3? I want everything to be like Chrome - lean, minimal, without a title bar and only displaying content.

I really don't know. I like the chunky feedback of a keyboard like logitech but I hate the noise.
