7/9     Help, I use my Kinesis keyboard so often that some of the letters are
        starting to fade, what should I do?
        \_ do you really still look at them? (I'm assuming that those are the
           frequently used keys, which should mean you should just "know"
           where they are?)
        \_ Sharpie
           \_ one time I thought it would be cool to write all over my chest
              with a sharpie.  when I woke up the next morning, all the ink
              was gone, and i think i may have absorbed it into my skin.
              i felt pretty odd.  i'm not sure this is good for you.
              \_ night elves drank it.  you're ok except for the little bit of
                 your soul each one took with the ink.
                 \_ Are the night elves female?
                    \_ You might be thinking of the Wood Fairy.  She comes
                       out of the TV every night and is the cause of morning
                       wood.
                       \_ Then she hasn't done any real good.
           \_ one time i fell asleep drunk and i woke up with sharpie ink
              all over my face and body.
              \_ Dude!  Its like that one Sopranos episode!
           \_ I find sharpie doesn't work that well for keyboards.  I used
              to use it to write Korean letters on the keys to help me
              type in Korean, but it would always rub off after a week or
              so.  Stickers work better. -jrleek
              \_ why not use a sharpie, then put transparrent tape over it?
                 \_ why not go completely ghetto and put tape around the
                    broken spot on your glasses, too?  how's the pocket
                    protector?
        \_ in case you're wondering, my M, B, then D keys are starting to
           rub off. I'm guessing that they occur most frequently in the
           English language or in Java, I don't know. How about your keyboard,
           which keys rub off first?
           \_ :,w,q
           \_ Java, maybe, but not English where "e" is the most common letter.
           \_ eiasdklcbnm, in no particular order... just looking at my kb
           \_ s,t,f,u
           \_ S, X, C, left CTRL.  I use emacs.
              \_ stupid emacs user       -- vi camp
                 \_ pico!
                 \_ DUDE.  ED!
           \_ My spacebar is worn out!
              \_ too much usenet

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?
        (Other than "use vi")

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

12/21   In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?

5/26    Finished Braid; beautiful game. Good job, blojo. Looking forward to
        the Next Thing; will be more than happy to kick out another $15
        for quality like this. --erikred
        \_ I hate this game. I've been up until 1AM the last two nights.
           Normally I go to bed around 11:30PM. Sooo tired. But it is
           beautiful. First PC game I've purchased in 9 years.

2/20    I'm using Cygwin/X on XP.  All the X indows (xterm, emacs)
        seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different
        than the one XP uses for other Windows apps.  When I do "mode con
        rate=xx delay=yy", it only changes Windows apps but not the X apps.
        How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X?  Thanks.
        \_ man xset
