The Optimus keyboard was looking pretty sweet at one point, back in the day when it had colour keys, and a nice group of “launcher” keys.

I like launcher/shortcut keys, I have them on my current keyboard to copy and paste, launch firefox, pause/play/control volume of media players. So being able to program these keys on the optimus was looking good.

Alas, over time the extra keys were removed, the colour display was changed for black and white they even cut down the screensize. Apparently this was done in order to cut down costs, so I am not quite sure why they are going to sell it for $1,200. Doesn’t seem like their cost cutting measures helped much.
What it did do is cut my interest in the keyboard, when they decide to impliment the features orginally billed then I’ll be happy to take another look at it and see where we go from there.

I’m dissapointed.

Not quite sure why I expected FireFox to automatically upgrade to version 2. I decided to download it myself in the end, pretty shiny looking. Not only that but before I was using an extension that set your browsing up into sessions so if you crashed you could bring up the pages you were looking at prior to the hiccup. Seems Mozilla incorporated it into version 2 which is nice, my only grumble is the fact that Aardvark doesn’t work with version 2 apparently, not sure about that given that the demo works just fine its installing the extension that throws up an incompatibility issue.

So I was chatting in CC earlier and Denis posted a picture of his university and as I was searching for a picture of my ex-university (it was a tough relationship we felt it would be best if we went our seperate ways) and decided to do a search of Route 66 and lo and behold there was a picture of chris. Checking the url of the image it said you tube and lead me to this;

Was quite strange finding an old work friend on youtube working his magic, shame you can’t see his feet.
