I've wanted to build one of these for ages but every time I looked it's been out of stock.

As soon as I built this case, the first thing I wanted to do was take this picture.

I've wanted one of Little Keyboards' kits for ages, but they were always a bit spenny. This Reviung41 Comptroller case was actually pretty reasonable. Especially for the quality.

I've been going through a phase of writing a lot recently. Work's been pleasantly busy - lots of smaller, fun tasks to work on doing things I don't get to do a lot. We've got something big starting soon so it's always nice to get stuff done before I need to get my head down.

I've been waiting to build a Corne ever since Perkins told me about how much he loves his. He got his free because he's a big deal, but I had to pay for mine because I am no deal at all.

An in-stock keycap set? What is happening?!

I love the Quefrency layout, but I messed up using unlubed Zealios in my original build. It's a nice switch but it's so noisy.

I've wanted a macropad for ages, and the timing was right on this one so I've gone for it! Screen; check, rotary; check, stacked acrylic; check. It also has LEDs and a piezo buzzer! Looking forward to annoying the entire world with that one.

This has been one of the slowest months of my life. The more I tried to get done, the more got piled on, the more frantic I got!

Lots of pictures of me on my phone the last couple of weeks. I think I might finally be going insane.

It's become something of an obsession: trying to make my desk cool. I grabbed my monitor and chair from the office about six months too late and now it's such a good space

The last few weeks has not been the most fun. I can't find time to take pictures, so here's a montage.

We did some weekend things.

I thought this was going to take all day. Nowhere has switches in stock, and I have a board with really good switches that I'm not using

The easiest build I've done so far. Maybe because I had planned it. I knew what layout I was using. I'd counted my switches. All I needed to do was place them, solder them, sort my firmware. But this was a fun build, and I was rewarded for my planning

The week that both went quickly and felt like it would never end.

I've been quite good with cycling in the morning the last two weeks. Been pushing myself pretty hard, and I go before breakfast so sometimes I push a bit too far and need to lie down for a minute

I don't really get how any of this works. So far I've just been doing things and they've been working OK most of the time

I've been waiting for this set for so long.

I was too busy focussing on not messing up the build to take photos whilst I was working
