I have an IBM Model M! cymrys was going to throw it away ... arkady grabbed it. I'm typing on it right now. It's missing the 'Pause' key, but I really don't care: I have a computer with an acoustic keyboard. ALL HAIL!

• "TYPE HARD OR GO HOME."

• "quite possibly the best keyboard in existence"

• Deconstruction of the Model M.

• Unicomp, who still make buckling spring keyboards under license.

(grumpy_sysadmin and jezebel_z are still fully entitled to steak and blowjobs [respectively], because it's the thought that counts.)

redcountess almost didn't make it out to Motorhead last night, but decided she'd feel even worse not going than if she did. Review here. I HAVE SEEN MOTÖRHEAD AT THE HAMMERSMITH ODEON, AND FUCK YOU!

arkady has come visiting bearing cheesy pasta (and a Model M keyboard). redcountess has been fighting the RIAA with awful '80s hair metal. But I love her very much and she is ill, so am keeping to loud clickety noises. Damn this thing is nice to type on. Now I want a better mouse ...

Next Dorkbot: 7:00pm, Wednesday 22nd October, State 51, Shoreditch.

I went to the February one and it was great fun. I plan to attend this one. ( Here's the announcement. )

You should come too, if you have a trace of geek in you.
