[zombimuncha]

Finished modding my V80 ready to show off to youse jokers.
Top row is:
Esc: Linear (damped)
F1-F4: "Quiet Click" (damped tactile)
F5-F8: damped clicky
F9-F12: undamped tactile
Psc/ScrLk/Pause: Clicky, but with the lighter coil spring from a tactile switch, and with the dampers clipped off at the bottom so it clacks on the downstroke but not on the way back up. Maximum feelz, minimum noise (yeah it's still quite loud tho)

(All switches from Matias)

I hope you enjoy checking it out!

edit: the rest of it is un-hacked Matias Clicky

Thought I'd bump this, just to see if we're all still up for this.

Yep still on at this rate - unfortunately baldgye won't be able to make it though

I guess it depends as well what happens with Bunny given that he is due a baby literally anyday now

[swimmingbird]

Thanks Hoff for the sticky

[Jema]

Most of my family lives in England, primarily Epsom/London and it's interesting how they tell me I'm mad for suggesting to drive from London around the rest of England to see the sights because of the distance, but coming from central California that's all you do is drive to get anywhere else in the state. I do love England though, can't wait to visit again.

[zombimuncha]

do we have a venue and/or meeting time set yet? I'd like to book my train tickets sooner rather than later.

Sorry for the slow reply
At this stage I'm not sure if I'm going to make it down this weekend as it's my last w/e before I fly back to Australia and the project I'm on might need me to stay here (in Milan) - I should know by the end of tomorrow though and will let you know

Bunny's wife is having the baby today as well so I'm not sure how good a time Saturday would be

On that note too Good luck bunny and Mrs Bunny!

[swimmingbird]

Sorry for the very late update but the project I'm working on at work means I won't be able to make it down for the meet up this weekend.

I'm not calling it off but I won't be able to be there - if anyone still feels like coming please post!

[zombimuncha]

I'm still keen but obviously it's bad timing for Bunnylake. I'm happy to reschedule. Either way.

[swimmingbird]

I'm still really keen to meetup with you guys (and gals)
I'm going to be in the UK from around the 18th of December through to the 26th or so - might not be the best time being the holidays and all but maybe I'll post something in the lead up to that time and see if anyone is interested in doing another (possibly 2nd) meetup

I should be in my new house by then so there should be a sofa bed for you to sleep on in our house by then

[swimmingbird]

Just a reminder to anyone who thinks that this is still on tomorrow, that the meetup has been suspended for the time being

had assumed so, but thx for confirming.

[baldgye]

yeah sorry, this month is a bit mental and with Bunny becoming a father and his wife needing time to recover it's probably for the best!

[swimmingbird]

I mentioned it a bit earlier but I'm going to be in the UK around Christmas time for a week or so - I know it's a hectic time but maybe we could do something then

To be fair r/mk isn't really anything like the rest of Reddit.

Still there are a few people that are kinda toxic there - I doubt those would be the type to show up to a meetup anyway though

[katushkin]

Redditors have turned up to other GH organised meetups. Not everyone on there is toxic and you probably won't get any of them coming if you talk about them all like that.

There are toxic people here too. Not to mention that they could simply make an account here to get the info anyway. This isn't an exclusive forum. 

[Vimto]

Is this going to happen in December?
I'm from the UK, but live in Hong Kong now.
Will be back to the UK around Christmas for 2-4 weeks.
Would love to meet more experienced GeekHackers as I'm still fairly new to the whole keyboard hacking scene.

Same here but still going to be bad travel anywhere but Manchester I guess. It's all about compromises though.

So does anyone think they can do anything around London from the 19th through to the 26th or so?

Definite maybe from me.

Awesome

[katushkin]

I think I'm pretty much working other than the 25th and 26th, I don't think I'm going to be able to make a London meet, not on a weekend anyways

[xondat]

Any more news? I'll be in London mid March, but that's all I know so far.

I was selfishly organising this for when I was there in December - not sure if I'll be in the UK again before Dec '16, so if you wanna set up something please feel free to do it here - if you need title changes or op updates just pm me and I'll put them in there otherwise just start a new thread imo and ill get this one unstickied

[PollandAkuma]

Sorry for reviving a dead thread. Please inform me if I should remove this post.

IC for a London meetup late this year or early next year?

[zombimuncha]

sure, why not?

[PollandAkuma]

Since I'm busy in school this term, I hope we can have a meetup mid- or late-April. I'm looking at some hacker spaces, but it also depends on the number of people interested in coming. Also, I know this is irresponsible, but I need someone who is definitely going to take charge of the planning along with me. I asked Sierra from /r/mk and she seems quite willing to do it. This is because of my schudule being so irregular, so I can't promise to be there although I hope to be there!

Anyway, I was listening the ManofInterests' podcast, and depending on the turnout we would probably need some tables. I assume all Englanders will come via public transport, so parking should not be a big problem? The good thing about hacker spaces is that we'd have CNC machines and soldering stations, but then we'd have to pay somehow

Sounds like this will be so awesome and fun if it does happen!!! 

[PollandAkuma]

Hey UKers, join our facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1028791307238170/

Dates and venues will be further discussed there. Post anything you feel relevant and have fun!

There are lots of active people from the UK, but all but a couple of them are on the CA Slack and we talk often... Me, bunny, tym, theogbro, photekq, firebrand, joey, baldgye, katushkin, iri, maybe liocer. That's everyone I know in the UK.

Would you guys like to join the facebook group? How can I join the Slack channel?

It's cool to know that many veterans here are actually from the UK
