Back online, mostly

Ah, it's nice to be back online again. Granted, right now we can't get the router to get an IP from the cable modem so it's just one computer at a time, but that's a heck of a lot better than the no internet at all that we've had for the last 3 weeks or so. We also have cable now; we aren't watching a ton of TV but it's so nice to have something other than video games for electronic entertainment and the free month of HBO is kind of neat.

Also, right now I'm trying out my new keyboard and I'm liking it so far. It's one of those fancy ergonomic split keyboards. I bought my desk at Staples today and while I was there I noticed the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (twice as cool as 2000), and according to the girl that was getting the desk for us I have 14 days to return it with the packaging if I don't like it. It works well enough in Linux (not every single key sends a keycode but enough for my use), and I've gotta say it's really quite comfortable. It's also not quite as drastic as ergonomic keyboards were when they first came out (no tiny keys) so it's not too weird to get used to. The only thing I'm having trouble with is using Ctrl or Alt key combos and getting back to the home position quickly, but I'll get used to that.
