There’s no doubt, the Logitech G15 is a great keyboard. But after a year of use, there is no doubt it’s going to be dirty. Here’s how to clean it

Before we begin, the disclaimer. I will not be held responsible for any damage done to you G15 (or anything belonging to you). And now, on to the article.

The G15 isn’t so different from most keyboards, so this guide could be used to clean any keyboard, really.

First, what you’ll need for this. You’ll need a Swiss Army Knife (or a flathead screwdriver, or anything flat, really), some paper towels, a Dust Buster (or a vacuum), and a container for all the keys. I like to put use one of those plastic organizers with multiple compartments, but anything will work.

First, UNPLUG YOUR KEYBOARD. Seriously, do it. Then remove the wrist rest (if you use it). Just turn the keyboard over and push the little plastic tabs in and rotate the wrist off. Next, using your screwdriver pop off all the keys. This is the fun part, believe me. Really, think about how fun this is going to be. Stick your flat tool under a key and flip it off. Make sure they don’t go flying across the room. Here’s a visual aid:

Put all the keys into your container. I sorted them by row in the container like this:

Once all the keys are off, grab you Dust Buster / Vacuum (the crevice tool works very well) and suck all the crap off of the keyboard like this:

Now that’s that all clean, grab your paper towels. Get one slightly damp. And I mean SLIGHTLY DAMP, like, HARDLY WET AT ALL. You really don’t need much water at all. Wipe off the black part with the wet towel, and before it dries, wipe it off with the dry towel.

Next, put all the keys back on. Then plug the keyboard back in, and enjoy!

Well, TheOneGreatX.com is back!

We’re now hosted by GoDaddy.com and it’s going much much better.

For those of you wondering, we used to be hosted by Fuitadnet, but quite honestly they are one of the crappiest web hosts around. They’re pricey, have horrible service, and don’t know what they are talking about.

Also, there’s a new article. Read it here. It’s really quite interesting.

Lastly, before you go read that article, on the sidebar, you will notice that all ads have been removed and replaced with a badge for my Flickr photos. This is also replacing the bar of pictures that used to be at the top of the page. Enjoy!

now, go read that article.

Anyone who’s used Internet Explorer 7 may enjoy the feature of being able to have multiple home pages open in tabs. Well, you can do this in Firefox too. Go to Tools | Options. In the Main Tab, you should see the box where you type your home page. Simply write each URL you want to open in a tab and separate each with a |

For instance, if you wanted your home tabs to be TheOneGreatX.com, Digg, and Google (very fine choices, I must say) your Home Page Box would read:

http://www.theonegreatx.com|http://www.digg.com|http://www.google.com

So there you have it, one fewer reason not to use IE7.
