  • Have I taken this too far?

  • Personally I'm not sure it's worth it longer term. 5x3+2 is my preference but I'm doing this to sort my layers so I can try some of the unibody split keyboards that have less keys to go round.

  • Have I taken this too far?

  • Yeah I'm doing it to establish a common layout for my symbol / number / navigation layers more than anything else, so I can expand from there to some 28 and 30 key keyboards as well as the Ferris Sweep with some consistant muscle memory.

  • Have I taken this too far?

  • It's my own layout starting from Colemak DH with the "missing" outer keys on another layer.

  • Have I taken this too far?

  • Somewhere in the middle? More of late night realisation than anything else.

  • Have I taken this too far?

  • To be fair I am planning on putting them back at some point.

    I'm working on a core 18-key layout that I can expand anywhere up to 34 keys, so I have a consistent layout that I can use on some of the unibody split keyboards that are usually in that range of keys.

  • Non plastic coffee cone recommendations

  • I use the Hario Switch almost exclusively for pourovers. It's glass plus you can throw in immersions with it. Bit spendy compared to the plastic cones though.

  • Rolio Progress (it works!)

  • Beautiful design. I love the casing over the nice view and roller.

  • Espresso, allegedly

  • Yeah they've left the dipper in it too.

  • Succumbed to an OLKB Planck

  • Yes it's to keep my wrists a bit further apart but also to give my pinky fingers less work to do.

  • Succumbed to an OLKB Planck

  • Yeah I'm new to it and still getting used to it. I've gone the slow but accurate route, which is incredibly frustrating, but I'll get there.

  • Succumbed to an OLKB Planck

  • Haha its actually a Neon Genesis Evangelion themed keycap set so the additional keycaps are icons of the angels. I have them wired up to Vim and AutoHotkey shortcuts.

  • Succumbed to an OLKB Planck

  • It's mostly a copy of my 34 key layout so the thumb keys are shift - space - enter - layer. Having the spacebar would throw that off. I was tempted but in the end I didn't want to lose a key on the top three rows for "enter".

  • KLOR - My Travel Buddy with a fitting Sleeve

  • I just worked out that a rotary controller can be mapped onto a mouse scroll wheel, which suddenly makes a lot of sense. I've been sitting here thinking "why would I want a volume knob? Why would I want two?" Is there anything else I am missing about rotary controllers?

  • KLOR - My Travel Buddy with a fitting Sleeve

  • I think once you accept that standard keyboards are laid out as they are just by convention and nothing else, and that moving to a new layout will take a bit of time, the prospect of having a keyboard where everything is exactly where you want it to be becomes quite thrilling. This is actually my first bit of real typing using Colemak DH. It is excruciatingly slow to touch type but I didn't know it at all two weeks ago. In two more weeks time I'll have my first split keyboard in my hands. So it's definately doable...

  • Hario Switch coffee brewer

  • I was going to write a bunch of things about the Switch but I guess they would apply to most other pourover drippers too. I'm coming from the Chemex as a comparison, which is lovely but a bit slow and unwieldy for that one cup of coffee.

    Having said that what makes the Switch stand out to me is that it feels like such a high quality piece of kit, and having the immersion element in the mix really suits me. My brain interprets that as "big aeropress" for whatever reason.

  • Hario Switch coffee brewer

  • Here is a better angle as requested:

  • Hario Switch coffee brewer

  • Will do tomorrow.

  • Hario Switch coffee brewer

  • Yes that's basically why I got my Switch and its mostly the way I use it: percolate for the bloom then immerse for the brew. Although I'm going to play around with that soon.

  • Hario Switch coffee brewer

  • I can only compare it to the Chemex, which is a bit of a different beast. I find that I can get a great balance of extraction and flavour out of the brew because I can immerse. For my work coffee I have settled into a medium grind of 18g coffee + 54g water, gentle pour for bloom, followed by a full pour (to 300g) at 30 seconds with the switch up so that the brew immerses, then switch down at 2 minutes to let the brew drain through the settled grounds. Then I vary the grind to sort any extraction issues with the particular beans I have.

    I'm not sure if glass v plastic will make a difference like the ceramic does. I prewash my filters with boiling water which will heat up the Switch but I'm not sure how effective that will be.
