GK is having ribs for dinner? Always suspected he was a closet Texan.

I'm more worried at the moment about the damage to my computer than to myself!
Hoping for help (virtual) from Syzygy overnight
(now don't take that amiss, gentlemen).

GK broke some of his ribs, aristo!!
Computers are replaceable, fingers aren't (yet) ;-)

I know he's been ailing, Rosalind. Just being silly.

I will be cooking on an open fire tomorrow- steak and mushrooms, with potatoes baked in the ashes. That makes me a closet- what? Girl Guide?
is it still 90 degrees where you are, aristo?

Hm. Girl Guide with seams...?

It broke today- 70s for the rest of the week.

Good advice, Rosalind.
A computer keyboard is not like a manual typewriter.
You old-timers know what that is. (-;
The micro-switches below the keys need a gentle touch, just like the mouse.

GK, you probably need a new keyboard. Possible problems:

- the switches are damaged.
- there's dirt in there.
- the encoder chip might be faulty

For a desktop, they start at $10 here. Of course, a quality keyboard will be more.
Have you noticed if particular keys are at fault? How old is the keyboard?

If you have a laptop, it will cost you. You could try a can of compressed air to blow out dirt.
Hope that helps.

i tried, but those months didn't appear

I had a lot of problems with missing letters when the new site launched. I don't know if it coincidence, but when I changed from IE to Chrome (because the site kept crashing IE) the problem disappeared.

are you sure there are postings for 2012 1(jan) thru 2012 4(apr)?
