My First Ever Vacation

July 28th, 2008 by FergatROn

Yeah that’s right… this is the first time I’m ever taking vacation. I’ve been working since 15 and I never really inquired about vacation time from my employers. I even worked for a company for 3 years and never asked for vacation. I’ll ask for one or two days off to do a weekend getaway, but that’s about it.

Replaced My R40 Keyboard

IBM Thinkpad R40Hey gang,

I got the R40 keyboard I ordered on eBay. I was very excited about it and I’m writing this blog with the new French Canadian keyboard model. It’s a little tough to type because the left shift key is very small and some of the characters are not in the same place. I think that’s because the French have more characters to play with. Once I switch the language of the OS to French, maybe it’ll match up. But overall; not a bad deal. I’ve been ad-hocking stuff for a long time now – it kind of makes me feel like a futuristic pirate or something. So; having this keyboard for only $25 is no problems with me.
