My 2nd episode of Over The Shoulder II, wherein I document on video my progress with the #Kestrel3 homebrew computer, is now online.
In this episode, I create the skeleton source files that I'll be using to iterate a unit-tested Verilog module with. (Things should go faster in the 3rd episode, now that the framework exists.)

good github alternative: fossil :^)
I've converted my old git repositories to #fossil: http://forthworks.com/fossils
@remram44 @vickysteeves I'm just going to turn into a DVCS hermit and host all my stuff on Fossil. Any Git repositories will just be mirrors of my fossil repos.

The upside to the recurrance of RSI in that I've had time to take a step back from the startup project and identify some design flaws. Now working on a different approach that's both simpler and more scalable with larger projects.
After two days of no typing, my wrist pain has mostly subsided. I'll only be doing a little today as I don't want a recurrence.
Happy towel day everyone!
@zyabin101 Whatever the question was, #gopher is the answer! ✌🏼
@Wolf480pl IRC backend + IRC frontend = preferred.
Time to head back to work. Still not quite done commenting the new floating point encode/decode words. (I spent a fair bit of time reading a new draft of the paper) #forth
@crc I'm hoping to finish this tonight, or tomorrow afternoon. It's functional now, but I still need to decide the final word names and document everything.
I'm a week into my switch to dvorak. I no longer need any of my cheat sheets, but it'll probably be a few more weeks before I'm back to a respectable speed. This is probably at least partially due to a need to use qwerty on all work machines other than mine.
After 2.5 weeks, Puri.sm finally shipped my Librem 15 laptop. I hope it comes soon. I'm going into withdrawl not having a computer at home to hack on.
#Dvorak, day 2. My accuracy is improving, and I need less glances at my cheat sheet. Still having trouble with the bottom row. But it's getting easier. I'm still very slow though.
