This amuses me! I shall hense forth call you Nick or Tom or Frank... Or perhaps Wictor Wictor.
I find it strange how many people can't pronounce Gina. This opened up a number of nicknames and confusions. I've been called Jennifer, Jeanie, Jenny, Gin (like the drink), Gwyn, Janet, Jane, Dina, Dana, Gyna, and Toots. Ok, I made the last one up (sort of, that was an online nickname).
Richard uses his mind to type.
Usually when my keyboard dies it is because someone (not me) poured diet pepsi or water or tea into it. Or someone (not me) let it get gunked up with her hair, make-up, lotion, and assorted grossness. Speaking of which... I need to clean my keyboards of the accumulated yuck. Can I put them in the dishwasher?
You can, and you may, and they would probably be clean. But I wouldn't expect them to behave quite properly afterwards.
'Speriment, let us know.
I don't want to post this on a centaur thread because, well, I don't like raining on people's parades, but I really, really, really have no use for centaurs. So if we can more on at some point.... On the other hand, my wallet is staying intact.
ditto!
i'm waiting patiently for my coupons and to see what sales we have then
If it is already not working the worst it will do is continue to not work, so go for it. I wouldn't use soap though and I'd air dry it don't use the drying cycle. And make sure it is thoroughly dry before you plug it back in. If it is somewhat working, I think I'd try something else first.
I acquired the centaur for V/M4 a few light years ago. It's still good enough for the 1 render per decade I find needs it. There are a lot of characters I can easily pass on. In fact, the pickin's have been pretty slim for a while. I simply cannot afford/justify $60 - $100 for a character bundle, and I'm smart enough to know that a la carte is more expensive, so I keep walking (scrolling).
I think old keys were heat transfer printed... which melted the paint into the plastic surface slightly.
Some of my really old keys (70s or 80s) seem to be co-molded... the lettering is actually different color plastic filling a recess in the surface... here’s a pix...
You would be hard pressed to wear out that lettering...
I bought a couple things (sets mainly) the other day but mostly I've been good. I'm on a budget of a budget.
Wictor is actually one of the mispronunciations, but that’s usually accent based so it doesn’t bother me...
Call me whatever you like... but... “Never call me Shirley...”
Happy belated birthday T-John!... very belated.
I just happened to be snacking on my birthday ham when I came across your post... My birthday was months ago, so it’s really coincidental.
Yes... Birthday Ham.
This cracked me up. :) My first name is "Karl" which I understand can be hard to hear sometimes. I don't even try to ask people to pronounce or spell my last name correctly most of the time.
My favorite, though, was when I was spelling my name for someone on the phone who was going to send me a letter. I said "It's Karl, with a 'K', ..." like I normally do and then spelled my last name. A few days later I got a letter addressed to "Carl Withakay [last name]".
For a while back in the early '80s I worked for a small software consulting company that had a contract with a branch of the Harris Corporation (specifically Harris Intertype) that manufactured newspaper printing equipment. We were creating an early version of a professional word processing machine for setting newspaper type. We had access to some interesting high quality equipment (phototypesetters, teletypes, linotype machines, etc). One of the things that came our way was a good sized box full of miscellaneous keycaps. Everybody in the software part of the project (about 5 of us) rummaged through the box to find letters to create various words such as our names. Somewhere around here I have my name permanently emblazoned on a piece of oak in old fashioned plastic keycaps of the co-molded type you described.
I see what you did there. "You'd be hard pressed..." I guess you would be pressing pretty hard on your kyboard to wear those out!
Complaint: Why are modern keyboards so flimsy?
This is the second identical HP keyboard that has worn the "N" decal off of the "N" keycap, and developed a depression on the "Space bar". I miss the old keyboards that had mechanical movements and went "click" when you depressed them and had molded two color plastic keycaps that would never wear through the letter, and could substitute for cricket bats. I regret that I've actually discarded plenty of those old keyboards in my foolish youth. 
mann if you glued some gears to those, you could sell it as steampunk on etsy, Heaven to betsy, regretsy
Would Sue be OK?
In my head, I always "hear" Regina as "re-gyna."
What can I say, I'm a foreign savage who didn't know enough English to actually understand song-lyrics until I was 13-14.
A friend of mine is named Nieves, and no one can pronounce it, even after she's told them how to. (KNEE-uh-vez) They can say "Danielle," But "Nieves" is just too Spanish for them. She's affectionately known as "Knives."
Someone called me Regina once... well maybe more times. I had no clue they meant me.
Gina is pronounced Jeena.
"Knives" would be an awesome nickname.
Knives... I went out with a girl who had the nickname “Stabby”... it wasn’t fair though... you stab someone once, maybe twice and you get branded for life.
I remembered this way after-the-fact... a friend named Regina whose last name began with a “V” used to get junk mail addressed to “Vigina”...
i tried to make one of my daz models look like one of my gw2 characters... results were bad.
...actually did so for "professional" reasons decades ago back when I was an aspiring classical composer who loved the music of Bach (still do), So I shortened my first name to two letters, using the first letter of my first & middle name [ala "JS Bach"]. Yeah, the crazy things we do sometimes when we were young and idealistic (never ever got a tattoo though, sensitive skin). Of course didn't realise my goal as you basically had to go to one of those expensive big name music schools to even be noticed, however the name stuck and became official via "common law" and now it is on my state ID, my Social Security Card, and all other legal documentation.
...yeah they used to have the letters and numbers embossed into the key, now they just print the characters them which wear off in time.it is a real issue for someone like myself who is dyslexic and no longer a two handed touch typist because of my arthritis. So many times I get ";/:" instead of "L/l" because the letter is worn off and that is my on my right hand's side which is fairly crippled. Thankfully I use A UK keyboard which puts the ' " ' above he "2". Still it is annoying, and likely an obsolescence thing which makes you have to go out and buy a new keyboard.
I used to have one of those old keyboards that even had a hinged cover so when I was a way from the desk, the cat wouldn't accidentally hack into some super secret government site by walking across or laying on it. Sadly it is very old and no longer compatible in this day of USB connectivity.
...ooh, din din.
...along with the "L" key, both my "M" and "N" keys are now blank along with "A", "S", "D", and "E" while the "C"is almost gone. The only reason I haven't replaced it is that it actually does have switches under the keys and is built a lot sturdier and it's harder to find UK keyboards here in the states.
At one of the Sims forums I hang at, a kid once started a thread asking for a hack to give his sims viganes. It took the mods about ten minutes to discover and lock the thread, but by then the other members had decided that "viganes" was a very nasty STD you should get treated immediately.
...those were the kind of keys that old "cat proof" keyboard of mine had.
...apologies for the post spamming. Woke up to 116 emails this morning which is far more than usual for a Friday (about double the usual count for that time of the morning) . Continued to be carpet bombed while trying to slog through the initial ones until finally (total of 184) I had a clear inbox (though 14 more just popped up). Daz forum reminders, promotions, and order acknowledgements go to a different inbox so they don't figure into the morning counts.
When dealing with various social causes takes up most of my waking day (and I'm retired), there is something wrong. I feel I still need a vacation.
Yeah, I get a bazillion charity and social cause emails too... after a while it’s too many and you end up knowing which to just delete and which are actually getting stuff done... a while ago I had a peice I did displayed in a local art museum (way less cool than that sounds) and somehow I must of ended up on the “someone who has more money than they know what to do with” list for various arts causes... now I keep getting emails for fundraisers and programs for artist... it’s fun to see how “real” artists are sold.
...yeah like I alluded to in another thread, "real" musicians and composers who are only recognised because they went to those unaffordable big name music schools.
I wonder how many Bach's, Chopin's, and Debussy's of our day never achieved their dream. and ended up in some stupid dead end job.
