The Sleep Button - KNIFEY!!!

Sunday, February 18th, 2007 at 4:49 pm


As a continuation on my hatred for the sleep button on my keyboard, I have employed another one of the useful tools included on this burney machine… The hot knife. Basically it is a blade that acts a a soldering iron but for cutting through plastics etc. So I thought that I’d cut off the corner of my keyboard (the one with the sleep button) to get rid of it once and for all.

This is the knife heating up and the edge of my keyboard where I will make my primary incision.

Hot Knife

The primary incision has been successfully made and I am now well on my way to removing the corner.

Keyboard Destroy

The removal is proving more difficult than first imagined. Some serious melting needs to be done (meanwhile, my room is just about as toxic as it can get, and I keep setting my tissues on fire).

Melted Keyboard

Finally the job is done and Compaq will no longer plague my keyboard with the sleep button. I can only hope that others will follow in in my path.

Fuck me woolie, your a crazy motherfucker. Thats just mental, risking having to buy a new keyboard.

Although on the other hand, it would be the government funding it so I can see how you would feel that destroying the keyboard would be a good idea.

I personally reckon it would be jolly fun to go fuckhead on an old keyboard, (one that you dont care about), just take the whole thing to pieces with the hot knife thingy

As a side note, I would also like to register my hatred of the sleep button

I plan to continue using this keyboard for a while until I gain enough cash to purchase a decent one. At that point I’ll just trash the shit out of this one using various “tools” :p

That’s one hell of a powerful tool.

Now of course, if you don’t like a keyboard or computer component, then you could just give it to someone who needs it :)

I don’t mean myself BTW - I mean someone who’s very unfortunate & who can’t really afford a computer.

They can have my burnt sleep button if they want.

That tool should definitely be taken into school and used to give skint students cheap amputations of hilarious body parts.

Wouldn’t that be against the law?

Naaa, we book Jonathon in for all sorts of things.

We like to get him a rectal probing at least three times a week

I think that Johnathon deserves a break… Who is he anyways? Is he that ginger guy?

Woodsup

February 21st, 2007 at 3:54 pm

Yes….Jonathon is ginger….

of course he isnt, we would have booked him in for a hair dying by now if he was anyway

He plays badminton too, doesn’t he (or he did).

Tall, & ginger he is (no offence to him)?

My reading of this brilliant post was punctuated by laughter, banging of the desk and random profanities at regular intervals.

Maybe you could try the scroll lock button seeing as it has no obvious purpose.

Woolie

February 22nd, 2007 at 4:25 pm

Ah, you see I use the scroll lock key quite a lot in a couple of programs I use (believe it or not)… However, the scroll lock little LED indicator thingy will be the next item to be removed from my keyboard me thinks.

Don’t you think that the keyboard has already suffered enough grief as it is?

Woodsup

February 23rd, 2007 at 7:17 am

No! The keyboard is evil!

More pain!

So where will this keyboard go when you mutilate its already tortured soul, heaven or hell?

Woolie

February 23rd, 2007 at 2:52 pm

Well its been pretty good to me, and still is… So it will probably just borderline itself.

Well there’s no more point in commenting in this article anymore then if nothing will happen.
