Over the past few years, I have been designing a variety of crochet blankets and loving the uniqueness of each one. This year I had a request for a cat themed blanket and as I was making it I kept thinking how cute it would be with a simple change of colors to make it […]| Sweet Potato 3
Just like last time, the focus of this post is keyboard.io and ADORE. There are plenty of news to report on both sides! A lot of progress has been made on the arduino front, to make it possible to have the behaviour I desire on the Model 01 - only the Leader key is missing, and I have a good idea about its implementation, too. On the other front, ADORE has seen a huge update again, aimed at reducing pinky use, and balancing the hands out. We'll see after this post how that worked in practice.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Today I will write more about layouts and the keyboard.io than the ErgoDox, though most of the testing has been made on it. This time, I took a big step: having procrastinated on it for a very long time, I rearranged the number row, along with the symbols. To make the transition easier - for some values of easy - I started to use the same number/symbol layout on my base layer too. What can I say? It's painful. I have used the same layout ever since I first laid my hands on a keyboard in the e...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
As with the last blog post, I'm writing this on ADORE, to collect another heatmap worth of data. It is still awfully slow, but the changes I made since the last time feel better so far. Nevertheless, this post will be as much about other things, as about ADORE. This marks the day I start tagging these posts with the new Ergonomics tag.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
I'm writing this on ADORE, to collect enough data for a new, ADORE-based heatmap, and to practice the layout. Most likely, this post will take the longest time to write. Nevertheless, I will persevere, for science!| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Since the last update not much has happened with the layout. There were some minor changes, but nothing spectacular. Instead, I've been doing a lot of research, or at least, trying to. The focus is now on the ADORE layer, and I'm collecting data, analyzing the layout, and similar things. For example, here is an updated heatmap of my current, Dvorak layout:| asylum.madhouse-project.org
It's been a while I posted an update about my ErgoDox journey, and there's a lot to talk about, now that I'm back from vacation. Today, we have two main topics: trackballs and heatmaps. The two are not connected, it just happens that I write about both at the same time.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
