druinfly to local static
« on: Wed, 24 September 2014, 15:13:24 »
Hey geekhack,

I'm 27, a freelance software developer.  I'm currently working full time with iOS (not interested in any flame wars about this/that OS) - It's my firm belief that it's more about what you do with what you have, rather than what you "can" do.

I have a background in Aviation, and Simulation (think flight simulation/aerodynamics).  The real reason I ended up here was because I've felt a pretty real personal desire to learn more than QWERTY, and since I'm not really a fan of stickers I picked up a reasonable cost Monoprice, and realized belatedly that while it has Windows software supported it doesn't have Mac support. And while I don't expect or particularly care if that ever happens, I want to get into the hardware side of what I do and see if I can't dig my way to the metal on this one.

Also, I used a lot of mechanical keyboards growing up. And after moving around all of these years being limited to laptop environments I must say. I didn't realize how much I missed this.  And I fully expect that this little monoprice I'm typing on will be the first item, in a long line of adventures.

Pleased to be here,
druinfly

Welcome to Geekhack!

Ergonomics is another good area to ask about alternative keyboard layouts.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
