I do things and make stuff at Cornell Astronomy and Ithaca Generator.
At the local seed swap, overthinking a tray of beans.
I've been puzzling over weird battery issues with my laptop. Finally figured out there was a staple stuck inside the Magsafe adapter. 🙄

@bezt Stand the sheet up below the monitor, against the monitor-stand-like thing you have there, grab Epistory (a fun little typing game, available on Steam), go and play! :)
Other than that, just start using it, and remember: if anything feels out of place, you can remap any key! Even the `Any` key!
When I was getting used to the prototype, I did a few practice runs on keyhero.com and 10fastfingers.com (and played Epistory). At around 40 WPM I just started using it and got up to 90 in a week.
It's here! Now to learn to type on it. Any pointers, @algernon? https://mastodon.social/media/gxVHjZOG-KvQTaiB67k
Just opened and immediately closed Twitter for probably the ninth time today. This mini mastodon sojourn has been very restful so far.
Quick note for new Mastodonians:
If you try to follow someone and get an hourglass, it means they have to approve your follows.
It is not a reflection on you if this doesn't happen immediately. Notifications about this aren't in the same window as the usual "someone followed you" default notifications.
It's not like Twitter's thing. It's Masto's own thing, and some of us are a bit more security-conscious than others, and some of us are slow to review our follow requests.

Got the shipping notification for my #keyboardio this morning. Very excited to see what @obra and @quince have made. (and #kaleidoscope, @algernon !) https://mastodon.social/media/pGU9G1Z5lF9Qc7O9Ftc
