Do's and Donts around your computer

[PsychoFish]

I have one simple rule "If you're not logged in as yourself don't use the computer", my wife likes putting crap on the desktop and I'v locked her down to a standard user. My boy (even though he cannot read, write or use any of the peripherals yet) has an account, with loads of restrictions. Wife and kid both run though a proxy server with content filtering enabled for the kid. They also cannot change/switch off their proxy.

Apart from that...if your hands are sticky,oily or wet don't use the peripherals.

around my desktop i eat and drink, the macish keyboard i use has a spillproof silicone cover over it.

my laptop is not the newest around but its still very nice imo so no beverages are allowed around it.

Awkward moments arise when eating something oily with both hands and have to pause a YouTube video using the mouse.
SPlayer is easy; just tap [SPACE] and Bob's your metaphorical uncle.
YouTube video; awkwardly position your wrist and pinky finger...

You can pause and play youtube vids with the spacebar too actually figured it out by accident a while ago.

I have no restrictions around my pc. Think Im too lax maybe. Oh well its insured so whatevs

Fortunately nobody else really uses my pc but me. i move my keyboard away if im eating something while i watch a comedy show or series, otherwise not really phased. I'm not a pig so my mouse/kb are never really dirty...but i must say my mousepad is getting a bit faded :/

You can, but, by default pressing space will scroll down the page.
I've found that I can only do that if I actually click the (pause/play) button.

The flash video needs to have focus, as opposed to the whole window. so clicking anywhere in the video should allow the use of the space bar.

Clean Hands is probably the biggest DO on my rule list.
Secondly, DON'T adjust my settings on the computer, in game, visual effects, my seat height, my screen,mouse pad or keyboard position. I am very specific about the way I play games, especially FPS games

So basically you can sit infront of it and breathe?
