마침내
Considering the somewhat odd nature of Limp Ninja, a rather large portion of the releases carries a name expressed purely in hangul, which makes it pretty frustrating not only to announce and submit, but also to see get lost in a slew of confusion. Where Finnish names tend to just sound wacky, people just can't pronounce what looks like Chinese Lego having intercourse.
Occasional amusement arises when a demoparty slide system like Partymeister is unable to accept the unicode characters Hangul comprises of, and many a release is adorned with the stingy question if Partymeister (or whatever party/slide system/team) is going to support unicode one of these years.
Cue this amusing intepretation of 제목 없음: http://www.capped.tv/playeralt.php?vid=limpninja-unicodeworksoncapped.
Splendid :)
Ninja edit: Koru.nl's webserver doesn't work with unicode. :(

Screw you, Capslock.
I've certainly heard of this feature in the past, but after tonight I can vouch for its brilliance: Aluminum Apple keyboards have a safeguard against accidental Capslock key press, making it less likely TO TYPE LIKE THE LESS INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ON THE iNTERNET (spelling corrected).
I'm sure Bruce D. will argue it's a feature to hide Apple users in plain sight of intelligent computer users, but I don't care -I happen to think it's a pretty neat touch.
What's more, I couldn't fail noticing that for some reason Capslock actually stays all-caps, so using the Shift key will not result in lowercase letters.
Best bunch of buttons I touched since the TR-909? Maybe not, but close.

Why would you want to have a US keyboard? -Closure of sorts
Ha! Nothing like beating the system from the least probable angle. I know it was never really personal, but screw your weird sales policy on keyboards, Apple! Not only have I managed to get my mitts on a regular US international Apple keyboard, it even came with a bonus.
I'm currently typing this on a wireless Apple keyboard, which my parents were kind enough to bring along from their latest trip to South Korea. This comes with a trinity of awesome:
1. The Korean Won is tied to the US Dollar. Cheap(ish)!
2. The keyboard is actually sold in the US international layout. My crusade is over.
3. Hangul characters pre-printed on the keys. No more weird stickers or cheatsheets!
So goodbye Logitech Ultra-X, it's been swell!
Since I'm in no mood to write about my lost month, here's a picture of me looking like a dork with my new keyboard.
