This page will list my project ideas. Hopefully spell them out for my own good. Hey, who knows. If I put them down on paper(text files) then it may persuade me to actually do some of them.

I intend to help redesign the website of the church I go to. Go to my links page to go to the current web site.
I've got a section on this site with a skeleton example showing potential structure. Go here to see it.
Keyboards are important to computer geeks. I think I can speak for most of us when I say: 'We can type faster than we can write'.
Many keyboards are rubbish; weak squeeky things that feel like crap. Until one day, when I went to a computer fair and saw this mega-cheap IBM thing. When a key is pressed, you know about it. Unfortunately that means it is a bit loud.
It all started when I saw the film Hackers. They had laptops with cool colours and keyboards where the key symbols were small graphics like 'smiley faces', and 'skull and cross-bones' and the like. And I just had to have one. So I began to think how I could go about it.
The IBM keyboard has an excellent ability to be able to remove the key sleaves, and generally take the thing apart. The key sleaves look like normal keys, but underneath are smaller buttons that the sleave clips onto. I suppose it's useful if you want to wash, or clean properly, your keyboard. Which is a fairly necessary task if you are halfway higeinic.
Finally, I got my idea, and began implementing:

You can probably tell which keys I press the most,
where I lean my hands the most,
and even which thumb I use to hit the space bar with.
