Keyboard pads anyone?

There are some things in life that we take for granted. One of them is the
keyboard. And when it stops working, it frustrates the hell out of you.

The keys on my keyboard progressively stopped working today. So I decided to
open it up. You see, electrical gadgets start working when they are opened up
and repackaged. So after opening it, I looked around inside for any obvious
flaw. When I saw none, I decided to put it back together (the original intent
was to drop it from a height of 15 cms or so after putting it back together,
but I didn't need to get to that step).

Now, the keyboard has some soft pads on the keys that look like contact
lenses. While assembling the keyboard, I found that three of these pads had
vanished. Well, its sort of expected, with the third law of thermodynamics
messing with our lives. No process is perfectly reversible. So right now,
three of my keys are sunk in and are not working. I shuffled the missing ones
for the least used ones. One of them happens to be 'Enter' on the numeric pad
on the right. The other two (the Windows logo one and another one to its
right), I've never used.

But I'd still like to have my keyboard without any of them sunk in. So if you
have some spare pads (which provide the key contacts inside), I'm accepting
donations. And I'll be always indebted to you. Well, at least till this
keyboard continues to work.

The Life of a Hacker Atul (The Shaolin) posted a poem on his blog titled - 'The Life of a Programmer'. You can read it here - http://the-shaolin.blogspot.com/2005/01/life-of-programmer.html Here is my version - 'The Life of a Hacker'. I wrote this one to bring forth the two contrasting attitudes of people in the software industry. I start my day by sitting on a chair, Giving my console a nice warm stare. By evening I'm done with some more hacking, Oh! This life is getting so exciting. Like many, I entered this world of hackerdom, Opportunities are many and there is plenty of freedom. Dreams of joining the likes of Stallman and Wall, And to be hailed as hacker by one and by all. Thus, I entered the world of bytes And realised the reality of copyrights. And that the world of patents isn't all that nice, Behind the trademarks, lie deceit and lies. Seeing beyond the monitor, Bringing...

An 'eye opener' Let's say that you are teaching a class. Let's say that you are teaching Unix. You have drawn a neat sketch of the inode-wise layout of the disk and you are explaining the concept of the hierarchical filesystem and directories and inodes and hard and soft links with the help of your neat diagram. Suddenly you discover that one of the students is not getting the whole picture ... because he can't see ... *because he is blind*. At that moment I didn't really feel the impact because I was too engrossed in the subject, too engrossed in teaching. But the whole thing really hit me hard on the bus ride home. A thousand questions were raised, not many answered. First, about teaching - in such a situation, do you teach for the lowest denominator or the higher one. Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...
