While perusing the vast interwebs, I'd get sucked back into my inbox where in a email garnered my attention- It had been some time since I'd visited this particular sender's site... I believe, I had actually requested the email subscription cancelled... yet.. the emails kept on being sent. Not as aggressively as in the past, I'll give them that.
The sender in question is actually an online web shop, mainly geared to audio files & keyboard enthusiasts-g the site is Drop. Yup. There isn't much that interests me there these days... I find a good potion of the items available on Aliexpress(ok, maybe not so fancy of form factor.....but $100 keycaps?) .
I got sucked in, & hard...found myself doing the endless scrolling through products to possibly find that 1 rare gem.... I didn't find anything... projectwise.... actually, 1 of my intended reasons for having poked onto the site was to see if there was anything related to a defective product I had purchased some time ago... I got a bit side tracked, so, i'll have to go back I guess...Oh, yeah, I had picked up 1 of these "ortholinear" keyboards called the OLKB/ Preonic. This, hands down, had been my favorite "keeb"...and even though defective, i've managed to still have it(it's been through a fair bit). Initially my intention for visiting Drop was to see if they'd possibly put out any "kit" to resolve the defective USB connection- there was a large amount of a certain version of the PVB hat had a weak solder job on the USB- many USB ports busted off... such a shame.... such a small, but annoyingly somewhat more complicated of a fix leaving many a Preonic keyboard left collecting dust. I just need to pull the shirt sleeves and solder on a breakout board with a USB on it but i'm holding out with hopes of a pre made, all the details laid out for me, fix...one day- that day not being today.
Want to type faster?
Following a link to a brand site and just as I'd lost interest- on my way out- I am hit with; "Want to type faster?" Awe yeh I do....and, drum roll please... why I shared any of that above to make a post. After all the scrolling, I came across another keyboard which I checked out( (you aren't really that interested to know which 1 it was are you?)... Now on the brand site I am challenged with that question. Taunting me- had I navigated away, would have haunted me.
A link to a sweet resource- which I think every 1 should take a moment out of their day to practice, even if it is only a few minutes. Before you click through, a reminder..." Remember to always place your index finger on the F and J keys". Ok... the link? https://www.keybr.com/
That's it... Keybr...dot...com....a site dedicated to practicing your typing.... So, what are you waiting for? BUT HEY before you go, come back after and let me know how you did..ok? Promise? Right on!
(II am not affiliated with any of the above, just caught my attention ya know?}
