Many years ago a classic Model M [1] landed on my desk and was great for a few weeks until I found it broken and used as a doorstop. Hmm.. No-one saw anything.

Spent the next few years on whatever run-of-the-mill logitech/microsoft keyboard came by way. Then I discovered Das Keyboard [2] which was great! It was fully worn in after many heavy metal code sessions (headphones on, mid-day in a room full of colleagues). Maybe I'm a bit overly aggressive with my typing, as soon after I had reluctantly switched to using Das Keyboard "Silent" Model. Another great keyboard, but still not soo silent.

To tell the same story twice - it just didn't work out. My daily typer at the office is now the Matias Quiet Pro [3]. It gets the job done at a reasonable decibel level - or so I think. Moral of the story (if there were any) - respect those who work around you. Any keyboard will do the trick. I should also be more gentle with this thing.

Does this mean WordPress saw an 60% decrease in traffic from bots?

Mapbox is a great alternative for stylish maps. Their JS library is built off of Leaflet which allows you to change the tileset at a later date.

   var ospry = new Ospry('YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY');

   //UPLOAD
   var el = document.getElementById('up-form');
   el.addEventListener('onsubmit',function(e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     ospry.up({
       form: this,
       imageReady: imageReady,
     });
   },false);

   //DOWNLOAD
   ospry.get({
     url: metadata.url,
     maxHeight: 400,
     imageReady: function(err, domImage) {
       document.appendChild(domImage);          
     },
   });

Instead of purchasing a license (which I would be happy to do, but cannot on this workstation as it belongs to the company and was denied), I was introduced to an open-source alternative here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dualmonitortb/

Not as feature-complete as UltraMon - though provides me with a working taskbar on my second monitor.

Anyone on HN know of more software to extend the taskbar? Open-source, free or commercial.
