Today Was a Very Good Day

Today started out really well when I finally figured out what has been wrong with the keyboard I bought with my tablet a little over a year ago.  It worked for about a month, then developed some dodgy problem that caused it to stop responding to keystrokes.  I found an intermittent work around, but did nothing to get it replaced otr repaired through the company I bought it from. 

This morning I finally realized the source of the problem was not the metallic connector pins, but the rubberized tabs that align them, and the tabs were too narrowly spaced to fit into the slots on the tablet.  This caused the pins to unseat, and not make a connection.  I trimmed the tabs a millimeter each, and voila! The keyboard works really well now, and I have newfound faith in Samsung. 

I also have a working keyboard on my tablet again, which allows me to take photos and insert them into a draft of a blog post, then write and edit the post and publish it, all from a single device.  This simplicity is what I bought the tablet for in the first place!  It has been nothing but a disapointment since it stopped working a year ago.  But now, beware!  I am fully functioning as a blogger once again!

In addition to that repair, I also did a good amount of work on the property today.  Iprepared two garden beds, and put in vital restraining barriers to stop grass getting into one, and pigs getting into the other. 

Missus and I planted quite a lot in the beds as far as flower specimens go.  We finished up, ate, and just as soon as my new recurve bow arrived, we finished the day off with archery practice. 

I expect that so long as this keyboard continues to function, I will continue to post more. I hope this is so!
