Familiarity vs prevention.
After an issue with my primary mouse (the right button only worked most of the time, it must be faulty) turned into an issue with my backup mouse (the right button only worked most of the time, my hand may be faulty), I've invested in an ergonomic mouse, namely the Evoluent VerticalMouse 3. And early reports suggest that yes, it's indeed my hand at fault (but no longer).
I have to say, it really looks odd sitting next to the keyboard. And I'm currently going through a period of adjustment that's to be expected after over a decade of using a conventional mouse - I currently just have one habit to break (namely using my ring finger to go 'back' when browsing, and thumb to go 'forward), and I'm still finding what method of holding the mouse is more comfortable.
TelstraClear cable is getting closer to available; I've had a couple of early rises this week with contractors laying cable to the units here, but that part's done and I'm now waiting for the contractors who do the interior hookup (which hopefully leads directly to the "You're online; Congratulations!" part).
Warcraft time has started to come down a little as well, as I've leveled two characters to 80 so far, with a third getting close to 77 (and flight - with a crafted flying carpet waiting to be trialed), and my jewelcrafting rogue sitting pretty in Dalaran at level 72, doing the jewelcrafting dailies for more jc designs. But I'm starting to get burnt out with all this leveling, and I still haven't been able to decide what class I want to raid with - playing on my rogue just wasn't fun, and the tank I leveled is pretty much un-needed (the guild has a surplus for 25-mans), and the shadow priest I'm currently leveling is boring as heck to play.
Ah well, back to thinking about food (with some hogget roasting in the oven, making me hungry).
