america is not really a great cycling nation apart from the obvious exception.
Oh, I am well aware.
I am glad to hear that Dave Zabriskie is still racing, I love that guy. :3
So true.
I keep forgetting that is today. 
I used to be a bike racer myself, but I burned out really hard, so I can't really be arsed now. It's cool that Wiggins won the TdF, though.
Edit: Who's on the American team this year?
All the stuff I want to see they don't show on TV
It's ok dude, I bribed a guy to put cameras in the olympic village showers, I'll get you guys copies of the tapes later.
ASSS
TIIITTIES
HOES HOES HOES
edit:
DEEEE
TROIT
If you want to build a time machine, just turn on your game boy, go to the WAV channel and create a kit instrument, and then use the ACIEED kit on goddamned everything.
Then, as if by magic, you will be back in 2007!
Is the Olympics a sports thing?
I pull all the keys out and paint the individual pieces on a per-color basis, over newspaper drop cloth.
You are right, this is a time-consuming pain in the ass. The next one I do will take even more time, because I am going to put painter's tape over each interface for a keycap stem on the top cover, and painter's tape over the keycap stems to stick them down on the newspaper.
This will prevent you from having to scrape anything off later, but it is also really tedious to do it that way.
I also tend to file the printing off of my keys, but that's a mixed bag. I need to see how my newest keyboard will handle being painted straight over, because the decals are laminated on labels instead of printed on… cheap keyboards, am I right folks? 
I do it this way because I'm anal about the quality of a finished product.
Pro-Tip: You can get a specific keycap puller tool if you look around on NewEgg or wherever.
I personally use a loop of dental floss to pull out keys.
Newer keyboards virtually always have printing on the PCB to indicate where to solder which connections.
Anyway, you really can't reliably go on the color codes, but if you are using a cable with a brown wire, I'm assuming you used a DMG-07 cable. But, if you have it working some of the time, you probably got the wiring right.
It sounds like you might have an intermittent connection. I'd check your solder job. If you have the full length of the DMG-07 cable still available and are comfortable opening the keyboard and replacing its cable entirely, as well as soldering on the board, that's probably a better way to do it long-term. Splicing cables together can be kind of dicey, as the cable is subject to a lot of repetitive stress at the joints, and you might have broken a weak solder.
I personally build male DMG-04 to female PS/2 adapter cables, as opposed to replacing the keyboard cable or splicing cables together:
I really did not know that, now I have to put the num pad keys back!
I leave all my keys in and paint the functionless ones the base color for a reason. 
Yeah, I agree, it's a pretty cool tool.
Keep in mind that the keyboard interface still has issues and can be buggy. See one of my threads about making keyboards and adapters for some of the common difficulties people run into with them.
In short, I've yet to find a keyboard that works 100% perfectly, I'm not finding PS/2 keyboards at thrift stores in my area anymore, and there's no consistent information about which current production keyboards work well and which don't, since people generally prefer to use the most cheaply available thrifted keyboard when making their own.
I think the yellow one is the special limited promo one for Pokémon Yellow, and the Pikachu/Pichu one was a promo for uh… I dunno, Gold and Silver?
Anyway, there are at least two different limited edition Pokémon-themed CGBs.
You totally can! 
If you have the sequencer running, it's in "play mode," where it will insert a note in real time wherever you press, but when the sequencer isn't running, it is in a tracking mode, where the input edits phrases.
The keyboard has a lot of button-press combinations built into it as dedicated keys. For instance:
Typing a note key in a phrase enters that exact note, as opposed to you having to scroll with the D pad to find it.
PgUp & PgDn go to the next or the previous instrument or table in those editors, maybe in the synth editor too. It pages up and down when in the songscreen. Think of this as having dedicated keys for B+UP/DOWN.
The arrow keys on the number pad are a dedicated key set for moving between parts of the interface. it will move you from the song screen to the chain screen to the phrase screen, et cetera. Think of this as a dedicated SELECT+DPAD
The inverse T directional keys function exactly like the D-pad.
There are probably more of these that I haven't figured out yet, since I'm still getting used to the keyboard myself.
I actually think this is a better use of the LSDj keyboard than playing live, anyway.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that PgUp & PgDn also work on the Phrase screen the same way that B+UP/DOWN would, so you can enter a bunch of phrases in a chain and use that to go through them sequentially.
You could drill the Pro-sound cable hole right by the link cable port, and it would just look like you had the adapter permanently attached or something. Anyway, I'm sure you'll figure it out!
I think it's just a cerebral process in a lot of regards.
You have double polyphony, so you just have to plan out in your head what kind of sounds you want playing together and write two different LSDSNGs that play well overlapping each other.
For real though, I think my next fabrication projects outside of Game Boy mods are going to be the pushpin interface and then an Arduinoboy.
You're on my list, GB Cart Flasher. Watch yourself.
