Tinfoil keyboard mod

Spent some of the evening applying a modification to the Eee. One of the things that can be a problem is that the keyboard is quite flexible, so it bounces when you type, which inevitably leads to missed characters. Someone modified his Eee with a few layers of tin foil under the keyboard. This improved the responsiveness of the keyboard and as a side effect improved the cooling as more heat was picked up by it. I've just tried it on mine and it's made a huge, huge difference to the keyboard.

Received an e-mail from the laptop place saying my graphics card is fixed and should be on the way back soon, which is good news.

Firefox is pissing me off at the moment on the main PC, it constantly hammers both CPUs and takes up shitloads of memory. Also I've decided that the single process per tab feature in Chrome and IE8 is a great idea.
