I don&#8217;t know if it had just decided to give up the ghost or if I was typing too fast for it&#8217;s poor wireless self, but it was exhibiting some freakish behaviour since Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I attempted to type more than a few sentences, it would start randomly capitalizing letters, stop displaying letters I had typed, mass produce the same letter over and over again, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I was slowly losing my mind whenever I tried to draft an application cover letter, respond to email, or blog.  What would normally only take a few minutes to type turned into a lengthy nightmare of backspacing, deleting, hen pecking (one finger typing) and a lot of cursing.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my best intentions earlier in the week, I hadn&#8217;t managed to make it out to a store to buy a new keyboard.  This morning all my worries are resolved.  I have a nice shiney new keyboard (wired this time) on my desktop and aside from my fingers having to learn where they keys are on this one, I haven&#8217;t had to swear at it once today.  It appears to be more interested in behaving normally and less interested in following it&#8217;s predecessor and acting as a conduit for demonic possession.<\/p>\n<p>All those people waiting for emails from me can finally breathe a sign of relief.  I may actually get around to them today. At least, I can&#8217;t use my keyboard issues as an excuse for not writing anymore&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"technoratitag\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tags\/typing\" rel=\"tag\">typing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tags\/keyboard\" rel=\"tag\">keyboard<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been experience some majorly annoying technical difficulties with my keyboard this past week.
