Tactile Alpha-Numeric Input Devices can’t be trusted.
Monday, January 28, 2008
The keyboard on my laptop is still not working. So I plugged a USB keyboard in and it worked fine. Which means it’s a hardware fault… I think. Trouble is I noticed the clock was wrong so I went to time and date to change it and the USB keyboard wouldn’t enter the root user password. I decided to save the AbiWord document I had been working on and when I tried to name this document, again the keyboard wouldn’t input text. So I decided to try the time again and this time used the laptop keyboard and I pressed the first letter only to have it exit the password dialogue and start acting up the way it has been.
On a different note I finished Starship Troopers in about 5 hours. It was a short read but I loved it. So now I’ve booked The Code of the Woosters, Where’s My Jetpack and The Secret Life of Houdini from the Brisbane City Council Library. All three are book picks from Mac Break Weekly. Hopefully I won’t have to wait to long for them to become available.
