Valentine’s Eve, but what?
It’s not anything special.
What did I do today that would make a day worthwhile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I had to fix the cupboard door.
The knob has been “broken” or actually the screw was sticking out.
I had to take the door off the hindge and see what the whole situation was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got it fixed in no time.
Found out I just needed to use a washer so that it stays in.
I won’t go into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve been struggling with zoom for many times and yesterday, I almost threw a big fit.
The conclusion is that I hate zoom but people use that and it’s so popular.
It’s not bad if you are just a spectator but if you are an admin, and trying to record and have a big responsibility on your back, it’s the worst app ever. It’s so unreliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, I had to write up minutes of yesterday’s BoD meeting.
Why me everytime?
Well, I guess no one can write up a minutes and sum everything up.
I don’t know if that’s a special talent or not.
I’ve been doing this for over 30 years, ever since I joined Minolta in 1990 as a rookie engineer having to sum everything up and write the minutes. You really need vocabulary and fast typing skills.
I type fast, although I do make spelling errors and in Japanese, the problem is choosing the correct Kanji to explain the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve never went to a shorthanded writing school or anything but I cover it up by typing fast.
But what I really need is a good keyboard to do that.
I haven’t met a decent keyboard in the past 20 years.
I’ve spend thousands and thousands of dollars on keyboard and not yet found a good enough keyboard that’ll satisfy my needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best was the old AT motherboard keyboard which came with my Dell PC which I bought in 1990.
But it’s unusable nowadays due to interface.
AT to PS\/2 adapter, then to USB won’t get me enough juice (power) to fire up the keyboard and work correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, mouse and trackpad are another issue in fast typing and fast work.
I use both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
