I have been using home row mods for about 6 months now, and followed this page to tweak timings. I adjusted pretty quickly, and while will still sometimes end up with incorrect inputs, my typing has become crisper (to avoid unwanted mods). I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I really like using my middle fingers for shift.
Yeah, this resonates. It would make for interesting research, to get away from our self-selecting anecdotal evidence. I have my own suspicion that major family issues also encourage people to move abroad, and that this can become intergenerational…
This is where fractal/fractional dimensions become useful. Living on the surface of the earth puts us in a dimension between 2 and 3, and varies depending on the environment you’re living in.
Thank you so much for sharing all that! I’ve been putting off building a wireless hillside 46(I’m really enjoying my wired one, but the wires are annoying me), and your modifications makes it perfect for me.
Grow carrots. Make goop. Print carrots from goop. Makes perfect sense.
And thanks to Suraj Kurapati’s own issues and config modifications (https://sunaku.github.io/home-row-mods.html) along with a lighter touch in my typing, typing is much cleaner now for me, with only very rare mods being inadvertently triggered. Very happy with how things are going. Now for a wireless version.
That’s another tab key for now.
Haha. I might have to move my command/alt/shift/ctrl keys down to the thumb clusters. I mostly like the miryoku layout with them on the home row, but sloppy rolls with A-T or S-T combinations (CMD-T) keep opening new tabs, and I’m getting grumpy. No violence yet. Maybe I can fix that by increasing the time before the hold activates.
Ha! I rarely use them. I also forgot a layer for them until I was reviewing what I had. I also used a minus keycode without the underscore on shift…and editing my keymaps became a bit rough. Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to need the duplication, and my right and left thumbs have different resting positions, so I’ll probably change things up as I’m finding I only use my right thumb for space and enter.
Haha. I had a stock set of keycaps, which didn’t have great options for my layout. I’ve mostly got the thumb clusters mirrored, with space(the right arrows), enter(enter/heart) and tabs on both sides (and backspace and delete mirrored). Left cluster has ESC, with right cluster having a Function layer switch on hold(the F key). I’ve got layer switch on hold for several of those thumb keys as well. The vertical thumbkey is not the easiest, which is why I put the tab keys there as I don’t use them that often. When I clean my keymaps up I’ll share an image. I feel the thumb clusters are larger than ideal for me. The board is setup to allow for Rotary encoders in those vertical thumb positions, and if I can find a suitable low profile knob I may end up swapping for a couple.
Wow! It has been a long time since I listened to this. Also, don’t forget the classic “Coelacanth”.
I should reread that. I once had and read the first 2 volumes, but never finished the series. It is time.
I went from Keep to Joplin and eventually to Obsidian.
Hmmm…must have been Flying Nun.
A good friend of mine did a pre-university trip to NZ back in …1989?..(from Canada) and brought that back on vinyl. Love the song. Was that put out on Tuatara records?
Sure! First of all, our dog uses a tray, rather like a cat. We fill it with sawdust or coir (and sometimes planer shavings), and it soaks up the urine. We scoop off solids and put them into a barrel that I drilled a load of holes into for drainage/aeration. I have 3 sizes of container: a 20-litre bucket for collection, a 110-litre barrel and a 200-litre barrel, which I cycle the materials through as each gets filled. That makes turning easy, and gives me over a year to age everything. The compost then goes to fertilize fruit trees, so no direct contact with food sources.
Hey! I’m living in a row house in Taiwan. I’ve got various aerated barrels/buckets going, using guinea pig bedding for browns, and composting all our kitchen scraps and various vegetation from our rooftop gardens. In the garage I’ve got dog waste composting (with wood shavings/coconut coir), and I set up and am managing a park leaf/grass composting system across the street. I’ve killed off several batches of worms over the years, attract soldier flies and sometimes beetle larvae help process materials.
Transcendental, even.
