Title: Digit's obligatory initial greeting
Post by: Digit on Wed, 11 May 2016, 15:01:23

hi

adereth's talk put the hook in me.

i wanna make my own interfaces now.

i have at least bumped up to a kinesis advantage.

lots of burning questions... but i'll try temper them, keep them orderly in appropriate threads.  ... methinks they're generally questions better suited to a forum than irc at this stage.

lots of ideas and (proto-)plans. 
(add trackpoint, change material feel for certain keys, stuff about connectors, custom/dynamic switch feel, switches, plastics & other materials, and many more yet to be formed well enough to be characterized).
lots to learn.

not /just/ the specifically keyboard stuff too, since from the keyboard comes the posture, to varying extents, and all the rest (seat, desk, monitor, etc) can alter an otherwise quality typing position... i mean, ~~  ok, maybe i'll save that for a thread of its own, and keep this intro short n sweet.  ... i shoulda just said something like:

hi, it's me, as seen on irc.
normally when being "productive", i make pictures and audio, not an intense focus on the keyboard.
but now, thnx to a video about making your own split curved keyboard in emacs, i have ideas i'll likely need help n pointers for to accomplish.
