Chairs.. And Keyboards

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

This article is a little old but still it applies. I’ve been reading a lot about ergonomic chairs lately, and I find that this article sorta sums it up.

I have to be too rich to spend SGD1000 and up for these chairs. How I wish I am too rich…

Oh and why do I want to spend so much on a chair? Read this. It’s just one of the many articles and people out there that say the same thing. And it’s true. I haven’t even started working and I have backaches occurring regularly (meaning it goes away after some time and comes back). Yes, I have even considered physiotherapy. But I just find that that takes up a lot of time and money and I don’t think treatment is the right direction of solving the problem.

Oh well. Added it to the wish list. :)

This all came about when I’m supposed to read up about Design Patterns. Got distracted with looking at keyboards. Hmm.. The new Das Keyboard looks good. Wish I could order it but then it seems like it’s gonna arrive too late. :(

I also came across the HHKB Pro 2, which is a USD250 keyboard that looks something like this:

Pretty normal looking huh? There’s a lot about it online. When I have the money. I’ll invest in all these things. When I have the money

Suggestion for Google Notebook

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I just sent this to Google Notebook via their feedback box.

I would like to see some common interface capabilities.

- Resizeable/”Hide-able” left sidebar (as seen on Google Reader)

- Options to disable keyboard shortcuts (on the mac I’m unable to navigate the text using Option Left or Right or Command Left or Right, I can’t move to start/end of the line or navigate by word)

- Options to hide the Formatting toolbar.

Another feature I would like to see is the integration with Gears. That would make it so cool. :) And it makes sense to have notes kept on the computer.

Thanks!
I love the Google Notebook application and I just want to make it even more usable for myself and everyone else. :)

Back to work.
