So far, so good.

Yeah, those are the speakers. They're not great, but they're passable when I'm not using my headphones. I got a whole bunch of these mouse pads years ago, because I hate the feeling of anything but the old cloth style ones.

I don't mind Logitech stuff for that price range, they do well there. I have an old set of X230's that I still use now and then.

A couple of years ago I hoarded a bunch of those pads too and stuck them in a drawer because I was having trouble finding them.

I think Big W still sells them though, albeit in red.

I remember a while back I looked, and they weren't hard to get on eBay, but I haven't seen one in a physical store in forever. I don't think anyone uses mouse pads any more. Or mouses for that matter.

I only get Logitech because it's cheap, but I've never been impressed with it. They give you the tiniest speakers with no range, then a disproportionally huge subwoofer that you need to turn down to about 1/4 for it to sound level with the speakers.

Busy weekend for us. We're going to VT with my brother's family to go to Hill Farmstead. The #1 brewery in the world vote by breweries 2 years in a row. Meeting Axeman up there. Then to my favorite food and beer restaurant call Prohibition Pig. Sunday multiple stops for Father's Day then in the early evening my brother's family and my wife and I are getting pictures taken for my Dad's Birthday coming up in July as a present.

I can't find a good image on my cell phone blob but it was a black keyboard with orange esc key with the lambda symbol, portal keys for window keys.

Yeah, that sounds awful.

I bet it had red WASD keys or something too.

No surprisingly! it was all black aside from the keys that I mentioned.

My brother has the tackiest taste in keyboards, his keyboard has so many led's it looks like you're going to Pink Floyd show.

I'm actively avoiding anything with LED lights, which is a lot of them. I agree it looks tacky.
The board I'll get won't have any lights or extra buttons or knobs etc, I just want something simple and quality.

You know, I almost completely forgot that this weekend is Father's Day, even though my dad is coming over Sunday.

Pretty much the same lol

I *might* be home free but a lot can happen in an hour. We'll see.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #3140 on:** June 17, 2016, 03:30:08 PM »

Evening folks. Sitting here listening to podcasts at work. Tons of paperwork to do.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3141 on:** June 17, 2016, 03:46:01 PM »

Picking up a few gift cards for Father's day then heading home.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #3142 on:** June 17, 2016, 03:57:13 PM »

So I was awake all night with Insomnia.

I always. Always feel like a dick asking for the day off work so I texted the chef - because nobody else ever replies basically and offered to do 2 hours at the start when it was busy ( on a Friday )

Or come in at the end of the day and finish up.

I got a reply " come in at 10am and leave at 12 ".

So i arrive at work fully expecting to do 2 hours and find out that one unreliable staff member hasn't turned up AGAIN and now I *have* to do a whole day's shift.

Oh well. I was upset at first but it actually went really really fast and I felt fine.

Then my boss said for the next two weeks I only have to work weekends so that pretty much made up for it. Plus I have tomorrow off and in on Sunday then four days off.

If it's sunny tomorrow gonna go on a long bike ride

ReaperKK · « **Reply #3143 on:** June 17, 2016, 05:30:38 PM »

That sounds nice Kotow. Sorry for the insomnia. Have you been suffering it for a while?

Just last night so far but i've had it on and off my whole life.

Gonna ignore my phone tomorrow

At least until i'm in a town far away and will take me 1 hour at least to get back.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #3145 on:** June 17, 2016, 06:29:41 PM »

I love that about my new job. I spend tons of time here but I don't get any more urgent after hour phone calls.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #3146 on:** June 17, 2016, 10:49:55 PM »

Anyone awake? I doubt I'll be much longer. Ugh, I am so pissed. I've been watching Haven on Netflix and I thought I was going to be able to watch the whole thing, but then realized season 5 was split into two seasons. I have to find the last 13 episodes so I can watch them. Netflix only has the first half of the season.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3147 on:** June 17, 2016, 10:52:38 PM »

I'm awake.

I watched the first episode of Haven but had no interest in watching more.

Seems Netflix is always pot luck for what they have or don't have in any given week. Glad I have more reliable means.

I was told today by someone at work that the term "man cave" is offensive.

Because it is gender exclusive....
