Microsoft Habu

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007


I recently upgraded from an aging MX510 to the Microsoft Habu and I
really like it. 2000 DPI is really nice. It glides much smoother than
my MX510 did, and its more comfortable. The blue LEDs looks sweet in
the dark. It’s like a Razer mouse, but it doesn’t look like crap! I
like being able to shift DPI, not-so-much for WoW, but it’s real nice
for First-Person shooters when you change from sniping to assault to
vehicles.

While the Habu uses Razer’s sensor, the Habu is a full hand mouse
(like the MX510/8), unlike the rest of the Razer mice. It feels roughly
like the MX510/8. It’s got this quirky feature where you can replace
the side buttons with a different set, moving the location of the
buttons, but the default is fine for me.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the scroll wheel. It’s not
very smooth, and no matter how much I change the settings in the Habu
Utility and Windows, it still can’t scroll very fast. Also, the mouse
took a little getting used to since the laser is located closer to the
rear of the mouse. But it feels natural to me to move around now.

Proxies for School

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I’ve set up a pair of proxies on this webserver that you can use to evade the Websense filters.

Supports Javascript, but not SSL (working on that =p). Fine for Myspace. This one is also much prettier =).

Supports SSL, but not Javascript. Good for basic Gmail.
