Aqeel Zafar’s Randomness

I just got a rubber keyboard as gift, from my brother. In case you have not heard about them, they are flexible keyboards, made of rubber, virtually indestructible, impervious to water and look like door mat Which means when they get dirty, you can just put them under water and wash them.

The one I am using is of some turkish brand, which I have never heard about, typing on this keyboard takes little getting used too, specially for the “big” keys, like enter, shift and space, but after a while, when you figure out how to press those keys, it becomes much easier to type on it. From what I have figured out from different reviews, there is more than quality of these keyboards, apparently the expensive ones (which are available for upto $250, mine is less than $15) have better key sensitivity, though I don’t know anyone who have used both expensive and cheap one, so, can’t guarantee any difference.

Here are few photos of the keyboard, it’s original colour is black, which appears to be brown in couple of pictures, due to flash.

Overall, it’s a nice keyboard, great for mobility and very durable in moist environments. Even though it’s not for everyone, if you have any interests in this kinds of things, it’s worth giving it a try.

I’ve been procrastinating to redesign my website for quite some time now. To get myself started I planned to do this in small phases (in somewhat long period of time), instead of completely redesigning my website in one go.

In first phase, I have modified current wordpress theme a bit more, removing all annoying orange, there are still a few things that I would like to change in this layout, but for most parts it’s much better.

I don’t have much experience with wordpress themes, so, let me know if you find some glitches or some annoying colour combination that I might have overlooked while changing, or any other comments you may like to share.

With all these news of what’s happening in country these days (people killing, people dieing, protests, emergency etc.), it’s nice to read something good about Pakistan. BBC correspondent Hugh Sykes has written (actually he broadcast it on radio), a nice article about his (ongoing?) holidays in Pakistan. Check it out on BBC website.
