| mrgoodcat | jrwren: not sure what you're talking about, my c720 has a super key | 06:34 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h_ | morning | 12:29 |
| _stink_ | yo | 13:15 |
| brousch | werd up u-dawgs | 13:17 |
| rick_h_ | ummm, woof | 13:17 |
| brousch | rick_h_: Very nice 3 year blog post | 13:29 |
| rick_h_ | brousch: ty | 13:29 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: in what position is the super? | 13:33 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 14:29 |
| cmaloney | Also where is F11 and F12 on a Chromebook. :) | 14:31 |
| brousch | 10 Fs is enough for most people | 15:05 |
| jrwren | i honestly only use f11, f12 for volume up and down :) | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | f11 is my vim :set paste toggle | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | required stuff :) | 15:22 |
| jrwren | I type :set paste every time. | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: same | 15:42 |
| mrgoodcat | jrwren: its the "search" key | 15:50 |
| * jrwren looks | 15:51 | |
| mrgoodcat | jrwren: where caps lock is on a normal keyboard | 15:51 |
| cmaloney | Wow, I'm not sure what would drive me more nuts: caps-lock or super. :) | 15:51 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: ah, probably fine for a 1-off laptop, but for real work that key is ctrl as the ADM-3A teaches us. | 15:51 |
| rick_h_ | +1 | 15:51 |
| mrgoodcat | yea i used to map that key to ctrl | 15:52 |
| mrgoodcat | now i obviously need it to be super | 15:52 |
| mrgoodcat | i mapped right-alt to ctrl | 15:52 |
| jrwren | i believe chome books spec it that way just so they aren't useful for power users. | 15:52 |
| mrgoodcat | easily reachable with thumb | 15:52 |
| cmaloney | All hail the ADM-3A, keyboard layout that we should all aspire to be | 15:52 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: because there is no way we have learned more about keybaords in the last 40 years :) | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | I think most folks who did keyboard science / ergonomics back in the day would say we've horribly regressed | 15:56 |
| cmaloney | Much the same as the phone comfort research | 15:57 |
| mrgoodcat | are there any KBs available today with tht layout? | 15:57 |
| rick_h_ | maybe :P | 15:57 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: especially with the folks going tablet crappy keyboard | 15:57 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Yep | 15:57 |
| * rick_h_ says as he checks if the damn folio keyboard cover is out YET! | 15:57 | |
| cmaloney | But there's little chance of the "Road Warrior"-set carrying around a 20lb keyboard with mech. switches. | 15:58 |
| rick_h_ | definitely | 15:58 |
| rick_h_ | and it's more like 3 or 4 :P | 15:58 |
| rick_h_ | but mainly won't fit in carry on well | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Yeah, no doubt. | 16:00 |
| cmaloney | Even 10keyless. | 16:00 |
| mrgoodcat | get thought control | 16:00 |
| mrgoodcat | on a more serious note, have you seen that guy that codes using voice control? | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Yeah, that'll work | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | I saw something like that around 2007 | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | ish | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | Maybe 2009 | 16:01 |
| cmaloney | at the time I was doing Perl and thought it was going to be my own version of hell. :) | 16:01 |
| mrgoodcat | theres a talk about it floating around somewhere | 16:02 |
| cmaloney | Thing is I type faster than I can talk, at least when it comes to symbols | 16:02 |
| cmaloney | !@#$%^&*() | 16:02 |
| cmaloney | vs. Bang At-sign, pound-sign, etc. | 16:03 |
| mrgoodcat | he used a made up language | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Amperssaaaaannnnd | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | Oh great | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | So it's the same as Palm Graffiti | 16:03 |
| mrgoodcat | he was super fast actually | 16:03 |
| mrgoodcat | for voice anyways | 16:03 |
| cmaloney | I don't doubt it | 16:04 |
| mrgoodcat | he claims to be as fast with voice as he is with kb | 16:04 |
| mrgoodcat | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI | 16:04 |
| cmaloney | Will have to look at that later. | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | Until then I'm stuck typing. :) | 16:06 |
| cmaloney | I think a mind-controlled computer would both be awesome and suck at the same time | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | awesome because I could think out what I want to have happen | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | and suck because half-way through my mind would wander and the computer would dutifully comply | 16:07 |
| cmaloney | (taking notes, taking notes, I wonder about... Dammit) | 16:08 |
| mrgoodcat | yea it would take either some epic self control or something like palm-rejection on trackpads | 16:41 |
| mrgoodcat | but for wandering thoughts | 16:41 |
| * mrgoodcat begins to wonder how he would detect on-topic thoughts... | 16:41 | |
| cmaloney | Um, no Squeezebox, we're not doing Mozart's Mass in C minor this morning | 16:44 |
| jrwren | i miss graffiti. I still print incorrectly due to learning graffiti | 17:04 |
| mrgoodcat | how can you learn graffiti? isnt the whole point that its unique? | 17:45 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: grafiti was the name of the palm pilot hand writing recognition syste. | 18:02 |
| brousch | jrwren: No. You now print correctly because of graffiti. everyone else is wrong | 18:09 |
| jrwren | brousch: given how rarely I print, I don't think it matters much. I could probably correct myself with some drills and a day or two of training. | 18:25 |
| cmaloney | My handwriting suffered a bit from learning graffiti | 18:31 |
| mrgoodcat | anybody know how long a pi can reasonably be expected to last on a 3700mah battery | 21:37 |
| mrgoodcat | ? | 21:38 |
| cmaloney | not sure | 21:43 |
| brousch | Depends on what is running and usb peripherals and wifi ... | 21:43 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: such a good question! | 21:57 |
| jrwren | does the ARM on a pi have cpu power saving features like an intel? might it also depend on cpu load? | 21:57 |
| cmaloney | I think the best way would be to experiment | 21:58 |
