i think most of us are...i don't see how Darkness keeps the hours he does

I don't need much sleep. I also often take breaks from what I'm doing to sleep for an hour or whatever.

besides you can sleep when your dead.

I'm not dead yet.

I'm suprised to see the Hive slept so long..Oh, well. Time to wake up and start buzzing again!

Speaking of weird habits...

When I was in college, my keyboard at home decided that it was going to stop working. Well, sort of. You see, some of the function keys at the top stopped working (like F11, and F12), but that wasn't that big of a deal. I never used those. But what was annoying was the shift keys stopped working - both of them.

So, to type a capital letter, I had hit the caps lock key, hit the letter I wanted, and then hit the caps lock key again.

DOS proved to be more of an annoyance. I no longer had easy access to *, ?, ", $, or any other shift-provoked symbol. So, in DOS, I learned the alt-numeric keypad fingering for most of them. So, if I needed an asterisk, I could go over and hit alt and then the number.

One day in the computer lab, my friend is standing there over my shoulder as we were working on something together, and he noticed that my caps lock key kept flashing off and on very rapidly. He asked why the caps lock key kept coming on. And I explained that I had to retrain myself to get capital letters that way, since my keyboard at home forced me to learn a new way. He thought I was the biggest dork ever.

I've since retrained myself to use shift keys instead nowadays.

Isn't it amazing how time flies when you're sleeping?

But I'm curious how you manage to get by on 1 few scattered hours of sleep. I've read research on sleeping 2 hours, 3 times a day to get by, but I've never met anyone who's done it long-term.

Maybe that's the solution to being awake long enough to be a prolific poster. Be away from Forum for 3 hours at max, each day.

Scary.
Wonder if it would cause brain damage..

You know.. That might be the Only valid use I've ever seen for Cap-locks.. As a secondary backup, when BOTH shift keys die
Even then though, it's in a horrible space. That key spot is too prime real-estate to waste on such a infrequant key.
That's why I remap it to Control on this machine.

You misunderstand. Sometimes I sleep long, like, 5-6 hours straight. Sometimes I catch 1 hour here, 3 hours there, etc.
